Family



Ernest was born in Glamorgan on 24 October 1870, and educated at Wycliffe College, Gloucestershire. He was the son of William Matthew Jones (b. 1838), who was an owner of the trans-European chartered shipbroker M. Jones and Brothers (which was established in 1856). His mother was Agnes Ida Long (1845 – 1899). Ernest's only sibling was the gynaecologist Arthur Webb-Jones (1875 – 1917).
Ernest's cousins were Edwin Price Jones, who was Vice-Consul for Chile and Secretary to the Chamber of Commerce; and William (Bill) Wynn Jones, who was Anglican Bishop of Central Tanganyika.




Chartered Shipbroker and Bankruptcy


Ernest inherited ownership of the chartered shipbroker M. Jones and Brothers (which was established in 1856) that was based at Swansea Docks, as which he was Chairman of Swansea Pilotage Authority from 1930 until the former's liquidation during 1941. Ernest died on 15 September 1941, and his trans-European chartered shipbroker, M. Jones and Brothers (est. 1856), was dissolved in 1942.

Ernest had a 45-year cricketing career playing for Swansea from 1886 to 1904; and for Glamorgan County Cricket Club from 1890 to 1911 (between which he played in every single match and was a member of the side that won the Minor Counties Championship in 1900); and (in first class cricket) for South Wales from 1905 and 1909; and for the Gentleman of Glamorgan from 1913.




Marriage and Child


In 1901, at Rouen, Haute Normandie, France, Ernest married Aimée Elizabeth Parson (1873 - 1913), who was the French-born daughter of James Holmes Parson, who was a merchant banker in Italy. Ernest's only son was the choral conductor James William Webb-Jones (b. 1904), whose daughter Bridget married the chorister Peter Stanley Lyons in 1957. Ernest, and his son James William, and his cousin William (Bill) Wynn Jones, were all members of the Jesters Cricket Club, including in its 1931 side.
