Roland John Jones - Bussell?

[chromecrusher]

I am looking for the parents of Roland John Jones, There is a real mystery as his mother called herself Catherine Jones when in fact she was Catherine Gladys Selvey Bussell who arrived in SA with a daughter Violet Bussell born 1900 and I think her husband Henry John Bussell.
The family always new Violet as the sister of Roland and a later sister Sheila. We do not understand how we came to be called Jones. Can anyone help.

Hi,

There are a number of clues held in the file references on the NAAIRS site.  Included is this one, giving the maiden name of Catherine as HOWELL and showing a divorce from Henry BUSSELL in 1911.

Guess work could lead you down the path of a possible 2nd marriage, to Mr JONES, Ronald's father.
