Re: Fone, Jones

I am looking for descendants of a Jones family in London. My aunt, now passed on, told me that Lucy Fone married Charles Jones and had two daughters, one called Gladys. Gladys married a Mr. Stafford and it was a shotgun wedding.

In the 1901 census I found Lucy Jones, aged 32 and born in Croydon. Her husband Charles was born in St Johns Wood, an accountant aged 32.

Two daughters are in the household, Dorothy aged 9 and Gladys aged 7, both born in Hampstead. Their address is: 12 Burrard Road, Hampstead. So it looks as if my aunt got it right.

Can anybody help?

Not sure what you are asking for but an obvious first step would be to obtain the marriage cert which should give the fathers' names & occupations.

Marriages Sep 1890 (
Fone Lucy Augusta Lewisham 1d 1655
Jones Charles Henry Lewisham 1d 1655

This will only lead you to ancestors not descendants as you asked.

Presumably you must know something of descendants based on the info your Aunt had.

Tracing descendants is not easy at best of times and "Jones" makes it very difficult.
