NotesParents: Stephen William Jones and Mary Ann Wills.

Stephen William Jones was injured while working for a gas company and unable to care for his large bunch of children, and Mary Ann Wills died in 1909 from stomach cancer and heart failure.

Stephen was living with his aunt and uncle (names unknown) at 197 Francis St., Ashted in April of 1910 when the children were taken to Middlemore. They could not, however, shelter him and the remaining children much longer, and they were mostly taken in by other relatives or sent to poor houses. Stephen was in the 1911 census in Union Workhouse, Erdington.

Stephen died in 1919 at The Sanitorium, Yardley Road, Sparkbrook of tuberculosis and cardiac failure.

In 1910, Frederick Jones, 8, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of 154 Middlemore children.

Fred was placed with John and Sarah MacDonald.

On March 28, 1923, at Granville, Nova Scotia, Canada, Fred H. Jones, 27, farmer, born in England to William Jones and (mother's name not known); and Florence Marion Grant, 30, house maid, born in Grantville, Nova Scotia, Canada, to William Grant and Alanor LeCacheur. [EDITORS NOTE: He gave his age as 27, but he was actually only 21. Florence gave her age as 30, when she was actually 40+ years old.]

The family was still living in Grantville in 1933 when Frederick was a witness on Florence's sister's (Laura) death certificate.

Florence Marian Grant Jones died in May 21, 1961, in Grantville, Richmond, Nova Scotia, Canada.
