With reference to Dorinda and John William Jones, I notice that their son Reginald was born in 1890. John William changed his surname to Lee-Jones after his wife’s death in 1900. So did Reginald’s surname also change to Lee-Jones?  If not, it would seem his name was Reginald Wynne Jones – any relation to Edward Irvine Wynne-Jones, a HKG Cadet, who I think was Postmaster General in December, 1941?
