Note:
He inherited 900 acres of land in village Kapsi gram Malkhed, and another 900 acres of land in an adjoining village Saharanpur, both in the district Yavatmal (Yeotmal). The intention was to develop a race horse ranch and sell them in Bombay, Poona, and Hyderabad (About 1900).
He 'died young' - maybe in his 50s since he. had 8 children, the first when he was 34. ^[2]

Marriage 13 Jan 1904. Amraoti Camp, Maharashtra, India. ^{[3] [4]}
In the British Library record he is given as Arthur Charles, but is the right age (36) and his father is Peter Chamarette. She was 27, and is given as Constance Winifred Jones (no Sinclair). Witnesses were P. Chamarette, Newton Murray and L. Jones. On the same day (the same page) her sister Ethel was married to John Moreau.
Michael Sinclair-Jones says - William Jones' grand-daughter Connie married a Chamarette ('vet doctor, lived in Nagpur, owned Karpsi village and land in Yeotmal') I remember seeing 'Aunty Iris' and 'Aunty Connie' when I was a young boy in London visiting my Uncle Newton Sinclair-Jones and Aunty Gladys (Chamarette) who were first cousins, as was common in those days (my paternal grandparents were first cousins too). Connie was old and frail, and Iris was similarly frail and always looked ill. I remember Newton had a tiger skin on the living room floor that he said he shot in India! Connie was Gladys' mother, and Iris was Gladys' sister, although I've only just worked that out - they just all seemed like old people from India when I was very young. My father, Sidney James Frederick Sinclair-Jones (1920-1966), was the son of Algernon Sinclair-Jones and one of eight children (including Newton), which makes Alfred Adolphus Dent-Jones my paternal great grandfather.
