Biography

Ezra Jones [1][2][3]

Born on 16 April 1854 at Garthee, Llandrindod to Mary Jones (nee Parry) and John Jones, shoemaker, resident of Llandrindod, Powys, Wales, United Kingdom. See image of scan of birth registration. His death certificate stated he was born in South Wales. Note: research linking this Ezra to this birth certificate was completed by another family member. Need second source to confirm accuracy.

Note an email stated: "John Ezra Jones born 1854 at Forest Creek, Victoria, Australia now Castlemaine. His father was a John Jones and mother Lydia - both from Wales. Lydia died when he was about 4 in Maldon, Victoria, Australia. Later on he went to Industrial school.

This may mean that the birth certificate is for the wrong Ezra Jones.

Immigration to New Zealand about 1874? Ezra's death certificate states Ezra had been in New Zealand for 24 years at the time of his death aged 45 in 1898.[4] This suggests he emigrated to New Zealand around 1874. There is no information listed for an "Ezra Jones" in the Auckland Passenger arrivals database or Petone setters database.[5][6]

Married to Sarah Ann Veazey on 25 December 1874.[7] Note spelling of wife's maiden name incorrect on his death certificate.

Employment 1874 Marriage certificate noted his occupation as Mariner. 1890 Wharf labourer[8]
