Humphrey Stanley Herbert Jones, Gen.

In 1856 a brother, Humphrey (afterwards Commissary-General Jones, C.B.) returned from military service in the Crimea, and shortly afterwards received orders to proceed to New Zealand. Having recently lost his wife he requested his sister to accompany him, and to this she gladly acceded. They arrived at Auckland in the Dinapore on 5th August, 1857. Miss Jones kept house for her brother until his remarriage a few months after their arrival in New Zealand, after which she interested herself in parish work under Rev. G. A. Kissling, and travelled about the country a good deal. Source: http://www.enzb.auckland.ac.nz/document?wid=3834&page=1&action=null#
