It would seem to be a marriage for respectability, and they likely never lived together

1906-1911. Jeane Jones ´marries´the Australian man of leisure!, John Mitchell - have not found such a marriage on FMP/ Ancestry/ FS . He, seemingly, had married Elizabeth Maude Perkins in Australia in 1894 . He died 1/1/1941 in Prahran, Victoria, Australia

1908. Gerald Francis Jones was born to Jeanne .Chelsea sep 1908. I would think his biological father was John Mitchell, but he was registered as Jones for respectability

John Anthony Mitchell, 1912, died 1986. He had a son Rodney T Mitchell 1946-2011 and his descendants have an Ancestry tree, Waterygullyfarm: tried to send a message on Ancestry on 20/9/2021 to its owner but messages were disabled on siad Waterygullyfarm!!!

Cyril Sydney Jones 1898 was Daphne´s grandfather and thus David Richard Jones 1927 was her half uncle

Jeanne thus had 5 children: Cyril Sydney de la Houssaye in 1898, who became Cyril Sydney Jones by 1901; and 4 Mitchell children born 1908-1920 who all went out to Australia with her in 1921. Maybe one day their descendants might contact me??!!
