    4. Jonah Davies and George Massey were both training at Bangor in 1891, and Jonah later married George's sister Isabella. [E0111]
    5. South Staffordshire Regiment & Surrey Regiment. AMA, 2019: Ran away from 6th form (Cambridge?) to join up, partly to piss off his father Jonah. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29655/supplement/6732/data.pdf and https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29655/supplement/6733/data.pdf appear to show him being transferred from an officer cadet unit with the Surrey Regiment to be 2nd Lt in the S Staffs. He apparently served in the second Mesopotamian campaign. The National Archives page shows him as a Lieutenant with the S Staffs. [E0974]
    6. Isabella Massey [I0042]
    7. AMA says he died of cancer and that TTA and HTA visited him. [E0033]
    8. AMA, 2019 says it was designed in part to piss off Jonah: George and his lady went on holiday to France, and the family were much surprised to receive a picture postcard announcing that they had got married at the British Consulate at Boulogne. Date is DAVITREE. [E0941]

    14. On death of father Thomas in 1812, the children go to live with John Jones, their paternal uncle and guardian, then farming at Rhyd Sarn, later at Pant-y-Ceubren. TTA incorrectly says the children go to Werglodd-ddu, Llanuwchllyn. [E0821]
    15. Nancy Isabella ApSimon (née Davies) lived with her unmarried maternal aunts Ellen (Nell) and Rebecca (Beccy) Massey while she read chemistry at Liverpool. [E1169]
    16. George Massey [I0043]
    17. Burial notice says Bath nursing home, AMA says RUH Bath. AMA: Had cocked up surgery for duodenal ulcer in WWI. Died following operation. TTA blamed himself for not insisting that he go to Bristol instead of Bath when he was ill. He coordinated the refugee welcome programme in 1940 along the south coast and was exhausted. [E0277]

    23. Maths, Third Wrangler (TGEA < AMA). But no entry in Carey's War list of the University of Cambridge 1914-1918, which covers "those who were Cambridge men at the time of their war service." TGEA suspects he went up in 1915, did well in his 1st year exams, left to join the army, and never returned. Truth may be found in the tin box and/or ‘The book of matriculations and degrees, 1912-42,’ held in the University Archives, classmark: UA Degr.41-3. [E1088]
    24. Registered Q1, and a random AMA doc says 31/1/...1905 aged 74. AMA elswhere says May. Age 69 is too young for 1868 birth. "Died of anaemia. She had Hodgkin's leukaemia, I think, something like that." Jonah then went to live at St Olave's. [E0068]
    25. Emigration, Nancy Isabella Davies [E1172]
    26. Several references from AMA to George, Ellen and Rebecca living in the same house. [E1185]
    27. Humphrey Jones [I0095]
    28. When husband John died, father-in-law Jonah rather unkindly said, "You can't stay here, NIA has enough work looking after the house," so she went back to her folks in Boston. Tom Booth had wanted to marry her before, and so that was quickly arranged. No one went to the wedding - it was very difficult to travel at the time - but the family all liked Tom, although Jonah disapproved and never met him. [E1081]
    29. Registered Q2 Lewes. He died suddenly - heart attack or something. [E0073]
    30. Anna Elizabeth Thompson [I0011]
    31. Registered at Lewes - I'm guessing it's her. [E1092]
    32. HM Assistant Inspector of Taxes in 1920. AMA says was with the Inland Revenue in London and/or Brighton for the rest of his working life. [E1091]

    38. Jonah, perhaps aged 6 [O0093]
    39. May Mary Mitchell [I0153]
    40. AMA: The move to West Kirby followed Thomas ApSimon's financial crash - Van Gelder, ApSimon & Co. patent suit against Sowerby Bridge United District Flour Society. Very small compared to Willow Hall. 1893 Liverpool Mercury ad for an iron chapel is marvellous. [E0387]
