NOTES:

(1) Funny to find a Ralph with a wife Hannah in this group. It would appear that an earlier Ralph may exist.
(2) George & Mary PEAT(?) whose children were baptised in 1895, the name is probably Peat, but the formation of the 'T' could be taken as a 'K', and thus read PEAK. It is noted that there were a number of "PEAK" entries in the Registers, which were taken to be another family. It may well be that these entries should also have been noted, as a misspelling of the name.

    NOTE: Sad to relate Gertrude's husband and family begged and continously borrowed from her father Samuel's savings to keep their business afloat and help maintain a relatively luxurious lifestyle. From the correspondence, it is clear the son-in-law thought Samuel richer than he was! As a result upon his death he was left with nothing to leave his wife and children. In the event, the Jones family repaid nothing of what was owed to his estate and despite a Court decision in favour of Samuel's heirs directing such payment, they never actually received a penny of their due inheritance. On Gertrude's death her Will was found to have been removed from its known place of deposition and the assumption was that her husband William had destroyed it, to prevent Kenneth their son inheriting that part of her estate she had left him.
    - Kenneth Shakeshaft JONES b. 5/8/1911 Belper, Derbyshire he d. in May 1986 Derby aged 74.
  - Thomas Shakeshaft JONES bap 13/11/1887 Wirksworth, this is probably the Thomas Shakeshaft Jones who moved to Brassington, and died there 8/4/1960, his widow donating a new oak altar (1970) to the local church.
  - Edward Shakeshaft JONES bap 4/2/1894 Wirksworth of whom nothing more is known.
