AG
Thank you , yes that is the one I found Idid think that maybe record would show wifes name?
I am not sure that he did died in WW1, as last child born late in 1918. but I can not find another. The only photo his wife had on show was him in army uniform/ Margaret remarried in 1927, so will have to look again between 1918 and 1927, so not too bad

A tree on Ancestry says your Albert's middle name was Alan, and he died in 1973 in Islington.

As dubious "proof" they give the image of the 4th qr 1973 death index, and I suppose the death they mean is this one:

Deaths Dec 1973 (>99%)
JONES ALBERT ALAN ABOUT1885 ENFIELD 5B 305

I don't know if it's correct, or just a guess on the tree owner's part.

EDIT:
Actually, looking further into the tree, it's not entirely accurate, to put it mildly.
For one thing, it doesn't mention Margaret's second marriage.

Nor does it mention the children posted below by safc.

Not my Albert Jones.
He was dead before 1925( have marriage cert of daughter Nellie, )and his widow remarried in 1927. Does not appear to have a middle name, The family had flower stall in Chapel street market, which was taken over later by his younger son Eddie.

Safc
That birth was the youngest child so correct.
1920 not same family

AG the tree on ancestry, does it say who,s tree?

DROVE INTO A CROWD.
A costermonger named Nathaniel Hoy was fined £5 and costs at Highgate yesterday for running over an old lady with a cart he was driving at East Finchley. Hoy drove between the kerb and a crowd of people about to enter a tramcar. The lady had been confined to bed for five weeks in consequence of the injuries she received.

Chris
Think you have the right one, as he was dead by june 1925,. on Nellies mariage Cert
Ellen Caton Margaret's sister, and N Hoy where the witness on Albert/Margret marriage cert
Chris, does it say date of death, as burial 30th Aug, so I guess sometime in August?


Austin , not him, see above note to Chris. re 1939 census, Robin should be Tobin, and I believe that Amelia Walker, may have married John Jones, need to check that out
Thanks again for your help, with the name Jones it gets difficult.

Re Amelia Walker, not married to John, but will check Eddie

ArgyllGran Report 12 Aug 2016 10:46

Pauline, you asked yesterday whose tree it is on Ancestry.

The tree's called Morgan Family Tree, and the tree owner is "Waterplate"

He/she seems to have assumed that Albert and Margaret continued to be married to each other until Margaret's death, which Waterplate says (without proof) was in 1954. But whatever death they think is hers will be that of a Margaret Jones, so not correct.

Pauline,

I would look into Austin's findings...the constancy of the address is appealing.

Maybe they had become estranged by the time of Nellie's wedding?
