Yes to the children. The only information I have is from the free search as it is pay per view. It could be a mistake in the transcripton. Was there a brother born around 1901? You can if you wish buy the image from FindMyPast, it costs £3.50 and you only need to have a free membership.
Could Sidney be a cousin? I wondered if the Frederick Jones from your book could have been a cousin
living with Frederick and Annie.

Might well be! - I seem to have a photograph of a male and a woman, and it says on the back 'To Ethel Love Sid and Annie'. Ive always been confused over this photo as I never knew of a Sid. The only Annie that I knew was Annie Weldon whom married Frederick Jones, the mother to Frederick Arthur Jones.

I hope I don't come across as rude with requesting what this means at all? I am not sure what all the abbreviations mean or where to input them to find more information on them. Sorry!

The 1921 census entry has under "relationship to head"
Frederick Jones 1876  Head
Sidney Jones 1901  Nephew

I don't understand the different number for FAJones but is it 3rd Cavalry,  Motor Transport Company, Army Service Corps
FJones No3 Depot, I don't know what cit means

Don't worry about asking, it's the best way to find the answers and nobody knows everything.

The 'T' before the number for Frederick Arthur Jones indicates that he was in the Transport branch of the ASC. Other letters were used for the other branchs of the ASC, eg R = Remounts, S = Supply.

The Gunner was with the City of Plymouth Royal Garrison Artillery (see here, then scroll down to South Western Coast Defences)

Pictures 3 & 4 are a group of people serving in the RAF and WRAF probably in WW2.

Weirdly enough, my mother mentioned about flying, I assumed she meant RAF but I cannot seem to find anything to suggest Frederick Arthur Jones was part of the RAF though. Is it possible to find out what group of RAF personnel this photo is from do you know? Thank you for you help in identifying the uniform.

It would be interesting to find out who Sidney is, as far as I was aware there was no one called Sydney in the family, that's why I was confused over who the picture was when they wrote Sid and Annie. I will have to try and find that out soon!

Thank you for getting back to me :)
