    • It appears that in the 1901 census, Jonas has dropped his first name and he is recorded as John J Harper. Perhaps the name "Jonas" is not the best suited to a career working with ships or dockyards! The census describes Jonas' trade as an "Artificer - Royal Navy Men". This may mean that he is working in the Naval Dockyard in Chatham, although he may actually be serving in the Royal Navy.
