    Notes:

    William Henry Jones enlisted in the army on the 7/12/1816, at the age of 18. This was a year after the end of the Napoleonic Wars in which his regiment had fought in many battles.
    The next year (1817) his first duty was to accompany a convict ship to Sydney.
    In 1821 he requested his commanding officer permission to marry Mary Gowen, who is the daughter of John Gowen, onetime Corporal of Marines on HMS Sirius of the First Fleet and later shopkeeper in Liverpool New South Wales Australia.
    In 1824 he petitioned Sir Thomas Brisbane, to be allowed to stay in the colony and not travel with his regiment to India. He asked to be given the vacant position of Sargent in the Colonies cavalry. It appears this did not happen and he and his wife go to India where the next year they have a daughter, Frances and 5 years later in 1829 a son, William Henry.
    Whether his wife died in India or Gibraltar is unclear but the Date of Discharge was 11/3/1840 in Gibraltar, and he was paid out in Sydney New South Wales, Australia.
    His rank at discharge was Sergeant (shown as Barack Sargent on his gravestone) William arrived on the ship 'Matilda'.

    During 1851 his pension was being paid to him in New Zealand. It seems William and his son and daughter came to New Zealand in 1848 and settled at Petone, a seaside village across the harbour from Wellington.
    The Jones'es had a large landholding in the centre of what is now the Wellington CBD.
