You said that you knew of the marriage of John Butler Jones in 1894. Can you let us have
the details?
If you are certain that it was 1894, then the John Butler Jones born in Cheshire isn't
yours as I have found that he married a Mary Cheetham in the September quarter of 1892
also in Ashton under Lyme in Cheshire.
The biggest problem with John Jones is that there are so many thousands of them.
I can't find any John Butler Jones in the 1901 census and the 4 John B Jones born in
Lancashire were all from Liverpool rather than Manchester. If we knew who Mrs Jones was it
may be possible to find her in the 1901 census, and through her discover the age and place
of birth of her husband.
Likewise if you know of any children born to John and Mrs Butler Jones before 1901, and
where the family might have been living by 1901 that might also help narrow down the
possibilities.
