Married first husband Jack Jones, Welsh had fair hair very musical played organ and sang. Possibly was engineer in USA.

Of children Ada married a John Stokes and ran a Public House "Bottle & Glass" in Brierley Hill, Ada had daughter called Clara Sophia who in turn married and had 3 children Maralyn Frederick and one other name not known.Fred may have gone back to America with his mother as he certainly lived and worked for most of his life in America and did not return to England when his mother came back in 1926."
