Notes
General:
Also known as George or possibly John HOWELLS. According to John's death certificate he had lived in Victoria for 55 years and NSW for 1 year. If that information is correct it would make his arrival in Australia approximately 1842 and his date of birth approximately 1823. It also says that John was born in Saltash, Cornwall, England. On his son's death certificate John's name is given as John George Jones.
After much searching I was unable to find the entry into of Australia of John Jones. I put this down to the fact that there were so many John Jones's and I could not pick which one he may have been. John's occupation was recorded as brick maker on his marriage certificate in 1859, in 1885 and 1895 his occupation was recorded as woodcutter. His marriage certificate stated that his parents were Elisha JONES a sergeant in the Army and his mother Mary GLANVILLE. I decided to research this information in England and hired a researcher in 1994. He was unable to find any Elijah JONES in the regiment stated on his sons marriage certificate, or in fact any soldier by that name.
Many years ago I had been told a story by Lorna GIBSON (Nee JONES). She told me that her father, George, had told her (more than once) that the family name was not JONES at all, that was as she remembered it, OWL and that the family was Welsh.
My research commenced in the 1980's pre Internet and so all research had to be undertaken by researchers in various countries who made contact via snail mail. Back in the early 1990's I was using a researcher in England to assist in the search for information. When the researcher drew a blank looking for JONES, this story came back to me and I contacted him again suggesting he look for the marriage of Mary GLANVILLE to a soldier whose surname was something like HOWELL.
This he did and amazingly, he found what we were after. He found the marriage of Elisha HOWELLS to Mary GLANVILLE at Stoke Damerel, England on 6 November 1820. John was born c. 1826 and Elisha died on 17 April 1827 and was buried on 20 April 1827 and had been living at Bache Mill. Elisha was 39 years of age when he died and was a retired Army Officer. It is assumed therefore, that John was his son. The English researcher then set forth to find John's birth, but alas, he turned up no births to Mary GLANVILLE and Elisha HOWELLS, but found one baptism, that was George HOWELLS who was baptized on 11 September 1825, son of Elisha and Mary HOWELLS, Diddlebury, Labourer.
In April 2013 I was going through some old research information and discovered that John's son, John Elijah (Elijah John) named one of his daughter's Harriet Howell Jones, and another one Olive Charity Glanville Jones. It would appear that the story that was passed down over the years is in fact true, and that John Elijah knew this as he used Howell (His father's REAL surname and his grandfather's surname) as the second name for one child and Glanville (his grandmother's surname) as a third name for another child. This would seem to confirm my hypothesis of earlier years.
It is assumed that George HOWELLS and John JONES are in fact the same person, although this will probably never be confirmed. The reason he felt it necessary to change his name at all will probably also remain a mystery. We are perhaps fortunate that he passed on the fact that he had changed his name to his sons and grandchildren or we would never have got past the assumed name, John Jones at all.
Research ceased in England due to the difficulties in finding any further information in the mid 1990's. But assuming that Elisha and Mary HOWELLS are the correct parents I have obtained their marriage certificate and also Elisha's army records.
I was in contact via E-mail from 1997-2000 with Richard Howells, of Sandbach, Cheshire, England who is a relative of Elisha Howells and Mary Glanville. He has also tried to find a connection, but has been unable to do so but agrees with me regarding the relationship.
John and Mary were married at the residence of the of the Congregational or Independent Church Minister in Melbourne, Thomas O'Dell. The witnesses to the marriage are almost indecipherable, but may be John Witing and May Kovacs.
In view of the death certificate that indicates that John had lived in Victoria for approximately 55 years at the time of his death, I have searched for a George Howell/s arriving in Australia and have found a George Howell who was tried for larceny in Lancaster on 2 March 1841 and was sentenced to 7 years transportation. He arrived in Van Diemen's land on the Ship Barrosa. By 1849 George is listed as "free" and this is a possibility. These details were found on Findmypast.com.au.
There is also a George Howell who arrived as an unassisted passenger in Geelong on 24 Dec 1849 on the ship the Andromache which sailed from Plymouth. Unfortunately there is no age or any other details which might help identify this as the correct person.
Mary's death certificate in 1899 states that John and Mary had 2 deceased male children and 1 deceased female child. Of these children, only Mary is known, though birth or death records have not been found. The 2 male children have not been traced to date.

Notes
General:
John enlisted in WW1 IN March 1915 at Flemington, Victoria where he was appointed to the 24th Battalion transport. His regimental number was 32. He embarked from Australia in May 1915 on the Euripides. He was transferred to the Imperial Camel Corps on 31 January 1916 and was stationed at the Suez Canal at Abbassial. He was promoted to Lance Corporal on 24 February 1916. His war records show he was killed in action in El Ferdan, Magebra, Sinai on 6 August 1916, however, I have been unable to find this location on a map. It appears that John's body was never located and his name appears on the memorial section of the Jerusalem Cemetery.
From the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website:-
Jones John William,
Lance Corporal
service no 32
date of death 6/8/1916
age 24
Australian Infantry AIF 24th Bn
Panel Ref: 60
Memorial: Jerusalem Memorial
Son of Helena Hartwell (formerly Jones), of Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia, and the late John E. Jones. Native of Mystic Park, Victoria
The Jerusalem Memorial stands in Jerusalem War Cemetery, 4.5 kilometres north of the walled city and is situated on the neck of land at the north end of the Mount of Olives, to the west of Mount Scopus. The cemetery is found on Churchill Blvd, sandwiched between Hadassah Hospital and the Hyatt Hotel. An Australian Memorial is opposite the cemetery entrance.
It would appear that John had fallen out with his mother before he left Australia but he had nominated her as his next of kin. John appears to have been living at Paika Station, Balranald, where his sister Mary Helen Davis lived. He had allotted his pay to his sister, who claimed it for some time from the Balranald Post Office, however, his mother wrote to the war office in July 1915 and requested that the money be allocated to her as she was a struggling widow. In that letter she advised that her son had been to Swan Hill in April and had seen her at a fete but had ignored her. After John's death many letters went to the War Office from Mary Helen Davis and Helen Jones - Hartwell both claiming they were next of kin and claiming John's money and goods. It would seem that John's mother ended up with his possessions and his medals despite his sisters requests.
More information about John can be found on the Australian Military History of the 20th Century (Desert Column) website:-

FAMOUS BAKER
A Bena Football and Netball Club volunteer and famous Korumburra baker has died.
Leonard George Jones (Pop or Poppy, as he is known to many) was born on December 13 1925 at Bendigo, the second of three children to George and Kath Jones.
Len started school at Red Cliffs primary, then St. Joseph's Catholic school in Red Cliffs until the family moved to Swan Hill.
In his youth, Len was a cub Scout, a roller skater, motorbike and sidecar racer as well as playing harmonica for a regional radio station.
He was even a ballroom dance instructor at a prestigious Melbourne dance academy.
Len left school around the age of 14 and took up an apprenticeship as a baker in Swan Hill.
He continued his apprenticeship in Nhill before finishing up at Kew.
During his apprenticeship year, World War 2 broke out Len enlisted in the Navy.
Len was not taken in, however, as his baker's apprenticeship didn't allow for such under the terms of the Essential Services Act, so he had to stay home and bake bread.
Employment opportunities after the war led Len to Yenda (NSW) where he started his own business as a baker.
He gave this away and followed his father's footsteps, joining the PMG where he worked as a linesman, cable joiner, and jackhammer operator.
It was around this time he met Margaret Sullivan.
Len and Margaret had nine children, Michael, Kathleen, Patricia, Gregory, Susan, Maxwell, David, Fiona and Kellie; then 21 grandchildren, a number which is still increasing.
Len gave away his PMG job in the late 1950's and joined his brother-in-law working on a fruit block at Woorineen, near Swan Hill.
When the block was sold returned his hand back to baking and the family moved to Myrtleford before moving to Korumburra 43 years ago.
Len soon earned fame as the baker at LeGross's in Korumburra, along with his home delivered bread run.
Len left the bakehouse and took up farmhand work, milking cows in the district for Walkers (Korumburra), Castles (Bena), Prossers (Loch), and Lupis (Bass Valley) before being forced onto an invalid pension 24 years ago.
At this juncture (1980) the family settled at Korumburra into what at the time was a rather plain housing commission house.
Len's love of gardening saw him transform the appearance with a very well groomed garden.
But it was not only the front garden that was Len's showpiece, he toiled equally hard in the backyard with his veggie patch, fruit trees and orchids.
As his children grew, Len's interest in life followed them.
For many years he helped coach at the Bena Netball Club and was a team manager thirds and fourths teams for the Bena Football Club.
Len also served on the Bena Football Club Committee.
He was also involved in the cricket club at Bena, playing key roles in coaching and team management.
Yet despite all these involvements in things for the kids, Len still managed a bit of time for fishing, cards, a bet or two on the horses, and time to watch the cricket and footy on TV.
After an illness, Len passed away peacefully at Korumburra hospital on April 9, aged 77 years.
