Biographical/Historical note
The family land at Bulmoor [Bulmore], p. Kemeys Inferior, was purchased in 1757 by Edmund Jones of Trosnant, gent. (1690-1765), an agent and manager for the estate of Charles Williams of Caerleon.
Members of the family included:
Thomas Baker Jones (TBJ), 1862-1959, was a local solicitor, eventually running the firm Hornby and Baker Jones (now Hornby Baker Jones and Wood LLP). Thomas played Rugby for Newport and Wales. He played 6 internationals between 1882-1885. He also had the distinction of scoring Wales first ever try. He also served as chairman of the Royal Gwent Hospital, 1931-1935. Thomas married Elizabeth Wood.
Paul Esmond Russell Baker-Jones (PBJ), 1894-1934, (born Paul Esmond Russell Jones) also played for Wales, earning a solitary cap in 1921. This was the first instance of a father and son representing Wales at Rugby. In 1914 Paul joined the 4th Brigade of Welsh Royal Field Artillery. In 1915 he served in France, in 1916 in Egypt. Paul then moved on to Palestine and Syria. Paul Baker-Jones eventually became a Captain in the Royal Artillery. He died in Quetta, Pakistan in 1934.
Tim W Baker-Jones (TWBJ), 1933-2010, the son of Paul Baker-Jones. In 1951 he entered Merton College Oxford, graduating with a good second in Modern History. His deferred National Service was in the Royal Navy from 1954, in which he was promoted to Temporary Acting Sub-Lieutenant RNVR. Most of his service was in the Far East; and he saw sea service in HMS Opossum, a sister ship of HMS Amethyst of the Yangtze River incident. His Commanding Officer’s final report regarded him as ‘a perfectionist by nature [whose] work is always of the highest quality....sustained by a spirit of duty and by interest.’ In later life he lived in Oxford.
