Jones, Margaret

Margaret Jones daughter of Arthur & Ann Jones was baptised 15.9.1772 at Bath Abbey. For her family see Jones, Louisa. On 4.3.1798 Godwin saw E & M Jones at Bath, clearly Margaret and her older sister Elizabeth. Their father died in 1794 and didn't mention their mother in his will. We can assume that the "Jones's" of 9.5.1797, 5.3.1798, 10.3.1798, 12.3.1798 and 14.3.1798 are these 2 sisters plus possibly their sister Frances and/or their brothers. Elizabeth Jones' will of 1804 (Nat Arch PROB11/1417) made it clear she was particularly close to her sister Margaret. From about 1813 to 1836 Margaret Jones ran a school in the Greenwich area with Maria Ann Lobrot (Morning Post Wed 8.6.1836, which also mentioned Louisa Dibbin). On 8.7.1822, 28.7.1825, 26.8.1834 and 19.9.1834 she appeared in the diary as Lobrot & Jones so those "Jones" can safely be added to her.

14.11.1798 Jones's, uncoded in GD website, presumably meant Louisa & Margaret Jones from the context, 19.5.1799 adv Jones's at dinner where Louisa Jones already was, probably meant Margaret and her brother Richard (see Jones, Richard) 15.7.1814 M & F Jones call, for Miss White could have meant Margaret & her younger sister Frances (see my entry for Jones, Louisa) of possibly James Marshall was the M and the F Jones someone else
