Reported in the Western Morning News of 23 September 1884 as the funeral of Mr H Jones, RN, chief engineer of the Raleigh, died at his home in Stoke. There is overwhelming evidence that this was a typo and that the report relates to R W Jones,who had been chief engineer of the Raleigh. There were no other Jones deaths in Stoke Damerel that quarter. | Jones, Robert William (I62)

Robert William Jones 1833-1884
1833 Born 23 January 1833 in Liverpool. Father Samuel Jones, a whitesmith.
1851 census: Robert Jones, apprentice engineer aged 18, recorded as a visitor to William Dyson engineer, Gothic Terrace, 1 Upper Dalton Street, Liverpool.
1853: Robert marries Lucy Parkes on 26 December at St Mary's Edge Hill (Lucy was then aged just 16 - baptised 20 Feb 1837 parish of St Peter ; parents Job and Charlotte Parkes. However her age is stated as 18 on the marriage certificate). Robert's address is given as Dalton Street. (The Parkes and Jones families would maintain a connection for many years - Robert and Lucy's son Samuel Job Jones worked for John Parkes and Sons, manufacturers of ship's chronometers and sextants.)
1855: joins Royal Navy 11 December 1855 and appointed to HMS Polyphemus as acting assistant engineer 3rd class.
1856: Polyphemus is wrecked off Jutland on 29 January 1856 with some loss of life. Robert is listed as a survivor in the subsequent court martial record. Son Samuel Job ("Sam Job" ) born April 5th. Robert joins HMS Ringdove, then transfers to HMS Blenheim.
1857: Robert is assigned to Her Majesty's Steam Troopship Transit on 10 March. Transit sails for Hong Kong with 1000 troops on board but is wrecked in the Straits of Banca (Sumatra) in July. All aboard are saved and taken to Singapore. The troops are promptly diverted from there to India because of the Mutiny, and will not reach China until December. The Transit's master and commander are court martialed aboard HMS Sibylle on the Canton River in November 1857. Robert is assigned to HMS Esk and serves with Esk on the China station for the next 4 years. His commanding officer is polar explorer Sir Robert M'Clure (who had been recently knighted and awarded £5000 for his navigation of the North West passage). This is the time of the Second China (Opium) War and Esk takes part in a number of engagements. M'Clure commands a division of the Naval Brigade in the battle for Canton.
1859: Robert is posted to HMS Chesapeake but appears never to have joined this vessel.
1860: promoted to Asst Engineer 2nd class (M'Clure wrote to the Admiralty: "a very deserving officer of whom I have invariably reported most favourably")
1861: Census data: Lucy and young Sam Job ae living at 124 Duke Street Everton . Also recorded with them is Robert's youngest brother Peter Jones aged 16, a watch jeweller. Lucy's mother Charlotte Leadbeater (formerly Parkes) is also head of a household at that address: with her are Lucy's brothers John and William Parkes, and sister Charlotte Parkes. Robert returns to England as Asst Engineer 1st class in June when Esk is paid off at Portsmouth. He attends the Royal Naval College and passes the engineer's examination "highly creditably". He is lent to the new ironclad HMS Warrior which is commissioning at Portsmouth.
1862: While serving on Warrior, Robert is awarded the China medal for his service on Esk
1863: promoted Engineer, and formally posted to Warrior, Channel Squadron.
1865: joins HMS Minstrel for commissioning. Passes 2nd class certificate from Director of Education.
1866: Robert passes creditably for Chief Engineer. Minstrel commissioned and sails to serve on the North America and West Indies station until 1870.
1869: Robert receives a severe reprimand from Admiral Sir George Munday for the state of Minstrel's boilers. Saved from further disciplinary action by the intercession of Lt. Commander Medlycott (later Admiral Sir Mervyn B Medlycott) - "an act of grace" granted on the occasion of Medlycott's promotion.
1870: back in Portsmouth. Serves on various vessels Ariadne, Black Eagle, and Duke of Wellington until 1872
1871 Census: Robert W Jones ships engineer born in Liverpool is recorded aboard "HMS Duke of Wellington and/or support vessels" at Portsea (Portsmouth). Lucy Jones is recorded in Portsea "Husband RN engineer aboard".
1873 Robert departs for China Station again to serve on Kestrel. Excellent staff reports from Cdr. Theobald.
1875: promoted Chief Engineer. Service record states "to remain as Chief but to be relieved at first opportunity".
1876: Robert returns to England on HMS Thalia. Posted to HMS Fox. (We have a family heirloom from this time - a pair of slippers inscribed "Miss Williams 1876" and "RW Jones" - presumably a present to Martha Ann Williams who was to marry Sam Job in November 1877).
1878: Robert ill with pneumonia in May and is treated at the Naval hospital at Stonehouse, Plymouth.

1881: The census records Robert at sea on board HMS London. Elizabeth Jones, 25 years old, Chief Engineer's wife, is recorded as a lodger at 20 Brougham Road Portsmouth, and on census night she is being visited by her older sister Emma Lever. (London's commanding officer Capt Brownrigg is murdered by slavers in 1881.)
1882: Robert returns to Portsmouth by mail steamer in October.
1883: Based on HMS Raleigh at Devonport
1884: Based on HMS Resistance at Devonport.
Robert dies of heart disease 16 September 1884, aged 51, at his home 4 Fitzroy Terrace, Stoke Damerel, Devonport.
Robert's 28 year old widow Elizabeth is granted a navy pension of £70 per annum, and she returns to the north west, taking up residence at 81 Esmond Street, Liverpool. Three years later in November 1887 she bears a child, Newton Jones, and when registering the birth in January 1888 she cites the father as Robert Jones, engineer. | Jones, Robert William (I62)

The Battalion left St Amand at Noon on the 18th April 1917, arriving at the Hindenburg system of trenches near Neuville-Vitasse at 4.00am on the 19th. The following day the 17th relieved a Battalion of the London Regiment in the hurriedly dug trenches in front of the Villages of Heninel, and facing Cherisy. The continuance of the Arras offensive was due to start on the 23rd and prior to this the Battalion suffered heavy casualties caused by heavy shelling.
At 4.45am on the 23rd, the Battalion moved forward ready for the assault.
The men spent the next few hours digging themselves in, but at 9.00am, the Enemy launched a counter attack of great violence which was repulsed with great gallantry and the position maintained. At 2.00pm a further attack was launched and the Battalion suffered many casualties. At Midnight, the Battalion was relieved, having paid a heavy price. Out of 650 men who went into the assault, 360 Men were killed, wounded of reported missing.
The Regimental Sergeant Major, R.S.M Coates performed excellent work during the assault, repeatedly bringing in wounded Men under shell fire, organising the defence of the front line trench and finding cover, in a shell hole for the mortally wounded Lieutenant Potts. | Thompson, George Henry (I18)

The registered birth date is January 9 1846. However there is a great deal of evidence that he was actuallly born between Dec 20 and Dec 25 1845. For example his gravestone, and his 1901 practice certificate application.
In those days parents were not bound to give birth information unless requested by the Registrar, but if they were so requested,some were not truthful about the date of birth, as they had to pay a fine if the registration was more than 6 weeks after the birth. Some parents thought baptism was a legal alternative.
This birth was not registered until February 20th 1846 which was past the 42 day time limit for registering a birth in late December. January 9th is precisely 42 days before February 20th so by registering that date the parents just avoided being fined.
