[minniehaha]

Could this be Edward James Jones (senior) divorce?

There was a child of that union. See later reports below.

And more from the Australian newspapers. Probably some repetition......

The son?

Death:
1992/37437   Jones   Edward James   4 April 1935


Cemetery Record for Edward James Jones
Date of birth
Unknown

Occupation
Radio Despatcher

Date of death
9 May 1992

Thanks for that. I'd expect that it is him - he was a  taxi driver and "radio dispatcher" could well be in a taxi office.

But my sister thinks that she had a sympathy card from him when my mother died in 2007. That might have been from someone else entirely, but I'll certainly follow up.

Thanks for the possible earlier divorce proceedings too. That's great grist for the mill! It gives his birthplace as Mold, Wales.

Thanks again.

Part quote:

"Thanks for the possible earlier divorce proceedings too. That's great grist for the mill! It gives his birthplace as Mold, Wales."

You may find more information about Edward from his 1913 marriage printout. These details would have been provided by the man himself.

Thanks agsin. I found those but can't find any conclusion to the case.

I guess if they didn't get the divorce - one report has the judge complaining about his behaviour  - that would explain the lack of a marriage to Jean
