From the CWGC site we can calculate that his date of birth was about 1885.

The family lived at 4 Towerlands Street, Edge Hill
J Allanson Jones was born about 1857 and he was a general contractor, Employer in the building trade, wife Elizabeth born about 1852, married 29 years, had 8 children, 6 surviving. Children were Elsie b 1885 a typist, Henry H 1886, a painter of houses, Florence 1888, Frances 1893, and Frederick C 1897. Also had a domestic servant named Caroline Eunson b 1892. Everybody born in Liverpool.

Elsie seems to be a nickname as she was Elizabeth in 1901 and the other child was another J Allanson Jones born 1883.
