Evan Rowland Jones


Major Evan Rowland Jones was a soldier, American consul in Newcastle and Cardiff and latterly a Welsh Liberal [Party (UK)|Liberal] politician who served as MP for Carmarthen Boroughs from 1892 until 1895.
Having lost the seat in 1895, by a narrow margin, Jones was again approached to contest the seat in 1903 when there was dissatisfaction with the sitting member, Alfred Davies. Ultimately, however, Davies withdrew in favour of W. [Llewelyn Williams].
Jones did not stand for Parliament again.
