Hi Ruskie,
Yes we've reflected on the likelihood that Jones is a relative, but the best guess is that she worked for them and that they took the child on. THe other child went to the aunt, informant on her death certificate. There may have been another child, and if so s/he went to another unidentified family. There is information about the Jones' from someone who met them, and there is nothing to suggest they were called anything other than Mr & Mrs Jones by the child they adopted (i.e, not aunt, uncle, etc.)
I'm not trying to make a Jones/Bright connection via electoral rolls or directories, I'm seeking a way to find out a little more about who the Jones couple were, her first name possible, and to get a better sense of when they died.
I don't know what resources are or are not available for this period (1920s, 1930s) in this area, as I have no personal genealogy in the 20th century in England.
Based on my initial post, I believe John Jones died in 1927 or so, and Mrs Jones probably died about 1935 (this from first-hand account). Just to reiterate, they were not living on the street in 1911, and appear to have moved there about 1918.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
