Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

I came across these Roll of Honour notices in the Liverpool Echo.

21st July 1917

JONES-In loving memory of our dear son Wm. Jones, R.G.A, Killed in action July 21st 1916-Deeply mourned by Father, Mother, his 3 children and brother (in training) 44, Crosfield Road.

JONES:-In loving memory of our dear brother, Wm. Jones, R.G.A, killed in action July 21st, 1916-Inserted by his sister and brother-in-law Ada and Martin Abella.

I had no William Jones in my index however I did have a William Johnson:-

Wages and Effects register records him as William Johnson and his NOK Mrs. Ada Abella

I have Ada Jones recorded as a Visitor on the 1911 Census at 44, Crosfield Road, born Stafford. Even though she records herself as married in 1917 I have her getting married to Martin Abella in 1920.

I have the Jones family on the 1901 Census residing at 143, Wavertree Road, this gives William's birthplace as Woolton.

I have tried to locate William Jones/Johnson on the 1911 Census with no luck.

Any help appreciated.
