      Was there a William Edward jones the second?
    2. Bitsnbobs123.a Bitsnbobs123.a, 3 years ago
      I have been informed it was William Edward jones, .

      Bitsnbobs123.a, I can see that there was a painter named William Edward Jones, but his lifespan is problematic, yes?:

      FWIW, the name looks more to me like William Edward Johns. That surname might look a bit odd, but it's not uncommon in the UK. Like Jones, it's Welsh. An alternate version would be Evans.

      Unfortunately, I haven't found any painters by that name. :-(

      There is another William Edward jones born 1827 died 1908 .

      I have uploaded the only painting I could find, it’s on art net but I’m not a member so I can’t see how much it sold for.

      Cool. :-)

      Yeah, the lifespan on this one is right.

      I see that particular work (Sunday Morning in Clifton Bristol) sold in 2013:

      I was hoping to find a sample of his signature, but no joy so far.

      That site artnet dot com seems to have quite a few of his works:

      Looks like "William Edward Johns" who probably was a local painter in Scotland. I'm not an expert, to me, he captured the windy day excellently.
    9. Bitsnbobs123.a Bitsnbobs123.a, 3 years ago
      There is one of his paintings pictured above,
