Thank you Kris!  :)

On the basis of the information you have provided, I have just spent some time searching the NAA site for any mention of any of the sons of Thomas Herbert Jones that you have listed for me.

Sadly I have so far found that Spencer Roy was killed in action in France. His army records make for sobering reading. I have just finished reading Ben Elton's book, "The First Casualty" and in it Elton so vividly describes a horrifying experience to one of the lead characters that is identical to that of Spencer. Terrifying.

Apparently another brother was also killed, according to a letter to the army from his mother, F. Jones, but I have yet to find which one.

Thanks again for your help Kris. Much appreciated.  :)

Elsie

I actually have a 5th child recorded for Thomas & Florence:

Victor Allan was born 3rd June 1897 - also in Riverton.

I believe that Florence is descended from John KEAST & Grace KEAST (probably cousins) who married in St Allen, Cornwall in 1770.

Cheers,

Phil

Thank you for this follow-up Phil and Kris.  :)

I'll now have another look at the NAA site and see if I can find Victor.

Cheers

Elsie  :) :)

I see this is an old topic but I hope that I can help, I have much family that come from the Oodnadatta, Peterborough, Jamestown and Flinders Ranges region and do have access to members of my family that are still alive.

Hello S. Jones.

Welcome to Rootschat.

My main areas of interest for the Jones family in the Flinders region are Parachilna and Blinman, and later Crystal Brook.

I am researching specifically the families of John Edwin Jones and Susanna Maria Miller. (Susanna's family lived in Port Germein.)

Do any paths cross?

Elsie
