Changing Names

[*Sandra*]

Why ? Is that the wrong parents on the death certificate ?

Sandra

No I am pretty certain that it is them. I am trying to ascertain a few things .

When did William arrive and by what name?
When did William and Fanny pass away?
Did they change their names in the UK or 'en voyage'?
Why did they change their surname to JONES?

The answer to "why, did they change there name" you might never know.

Have you checked UK papers to see if William was involved in any suspicious activities ?

The death certificate for Fanny was in reply 1. 

You already know that Fanny and John arrived as "Jones"

William did not pass away before 1896 if the children with Fanny were born of William and Fanny.

Passenger lists to Canada are not a comprehensive collection, not all survived.  Details on the earlier passenger lists very often don't have information to positively identify someone, especially named "Jones" which is very common.  It was fortunate to find Fanny Jones travelling with John Jones which looks like a positive ID.

Awesome. Thank you so much. I shall check the newspapers but I don't hold out much hope of finding anything.

Thank you for the links etc. Sorry I missed the first link.

William is listed on that headstone if you go back to reply 1. 
Sorry could quite read it properly.
