My record show James Fox as Thomas Fox's brother. Their parents were Jesse and Margret Jones? Why the change of surname?

No. Thomas Fox changed his name from Jones to Fox

Answer 1

Are you referring to the usage of "Snr"? If so, I believe that it's actually Senior/Sr.

Just wanted to clarify this part...

Just a point of difference......sr is the US abbreviation but snr is generally the accepted Australian/British abbreviation
