Name William George JONES Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Mar Q 1850 Liverpool, Lancashire, England 
- From the 1891-1911 censuses where shown as aged 41, 50 and 61.
Several possible birth registrations, but the mother's maiden name points to this one:
GRO ref: Jones, William George q1 1850 Liverpool RD 20 328; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Coates
I believe he was the son of Peter Jones who married Ellenor Coates in Liverpool RD, q1 1839
Gender Male Name - Middle initial E in 1891 census but G in both 1901 and 1911 census, with William signing the latter William G Jones so it seems clear 'E' was an error.
That G stood for George from the baptism entries for his children William and Eleanor in 1889.

Family Alice Ann BURNS, b. Sep Q 1861, Liverpool, Lancashire, England , d. Dec Q 1909, Liverpool Reg Dist, Lancashire, England (Age ~ 48 years) Married - Marriage of William and Alice not found - no marriage found of a William Jones to Alice Burns, suggesting that Alice was probably a widow when she married William, no marriage of a William G Jones to an Alice A, suggesting one or both did not use their middle name when they married (not uncommon) and far too many William Jones to an Alice marriages for me to have worked through the possibilities so far (i.e. an earlier marriage of an Alice to someone of the surname under which she married a William Jones, with the death of the first husband before she remarried, etc.) - this is somewhat peripheral to this tree.
Also, there are other possibilities - did either or both marry with their Christian names in the reverse order, or away from Liverpool, or did they not marry at all?
My main interest was to see if I could find any clue that might confirm that it was their daughter Jessie rather than another Jessie who married Matthew Gotham - * so far I have not been able to do this *
Most of the children shown here are found with William and Alice in the censuses. The one exception is John Coates, whose middle name and match on not just year and qtr of birth registration but page too suggest he was a twin of Peter. There were other births of children with the surname Jones and mother's maiden name Burns in Liverpool that could be children of William and Alice, but I don't think they all were, rather that there was at least one other Jones = Burns couple; I haven't made any attempt to research this (and don't plan to).
