>>I've found someone in the 1911 census, living at 338-366 Holloway Road in >>Islington, described as an "inmate". >>338-366 Holloway Road was Messrs. Jones Bros., Drapers. Is there anyone who could tell me the names of the JONES Bros. ???? Trying to find connections to my Frederick JONES b c1866 Italy (Brit. Subject) who owned an Ironmongers and China Shop in Upper Holloway/Highgate prior to and after the 1911 census. I am also wondering if the Company named JONES & HIGGINS of Peckham, Drapers (Haberdashery)and Warehousemen are of the same family? There is a connection of employment to this company, Frederick JONES dau Edith Janet JONES was a Clerk in one of their offices and her husband to be Else Thomas ROWLAND was a salesman in the same company.
