Research notes
✓ AS TO THE RELATIONSHIP (already stated in his son's note: 'Son of Lewis Jones, Bishop of Killaloe - recoverable'; a nationally documented figure): LEWIS JONES, BISHOP OF KILLALOE 1633-46, of Welsh origin, previously Dean of Ardagh and Chancellor of St Patrick's; father of DR HENRY JONES (1605-1682), Bishop of Clogher then of MEATH (I99128, our line). ⚠ KEEP APART from the JONES OF BANDON/DROMBEG line (I81047) and from THOMAS JONES, ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN (I100219) - three unrelated Jones houses now stand in this tree, and this rung must not be used to bridge any two of them. END OF LINE as entered; his Welsh origins are the push. WIRED 7 Aug 2026 from the subject's own existing note - this parent was already documented in the file but had never been given a record.
