Cant help there but nice to have a peek at the area that he lived in. http://tinyurl.com/3mvgdn -----Original Message----- From: Hi All I am so excited...I can hardly contain myself. After 3 years of looking and nearly giving up several times, I have finally found my GG Grandfather John Matthias Jones. I received his death certificate today. He died at 9 Trinity Terrace Ventnor Isle of Wright on 12th May 1879 in the presence of his daughter Ann Maria Wright of Hendon. He was 70 years old. Occupation is "warehouseman" which is nearly the same as his occupation on the 1861 census - "silk warehouseman". Karen Ipswich Queensland

Hi LiverpoolLady Thanks for the link to the map. I have google earthed the address but it seems Trinity Terrace is no more. There is a Trinity Road could this be the same one?? Does anyone know if there are old photos of this area around? I have replied to Althea off list. Regards Karen Ipswich Queensland Australia

Hi Karen Well done for finding him at last. He was certainly being evasive. Going by the 1904 Kelly's Trinity Terrace is in Trinity Road. It is the terrace of houses on the south side of the road and just to the east of Holy Trinity church. Many terraces originally had their own name and numbering but the roads have now been renumbered to make a continuous sequence. My own house was originally known as '4 Norfolk Terrace, St Johns Road' but is now just known as '19 St Johns Road'. For a view of Trinity Terrace... http://www.flickr.com/photos/venthawktree/2584115197/ You could contact the owner of this Flickr album and ask them for information about the terrace. Here's a photo looking down on Holy Trinity church from the downs, so Trinity Terrace is hidden in the trees http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/53774 There are some lovely photos of Ventnor here... http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/isle+of+wight/ventnor/photos/vent nor_photos.htm but sadly none of Trinity Terrace/Road specifically Kate in Devon, UK -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Dunstone Sent: 18 June 2008 08:20 To: LiverpoolLady; ISLE-OF-WIGHT- Subject: Re: [IoW] John Matthias Jones Hi LiverpoolLady Thanks for the link to the map.
