Ada Jones was born on 18 March 1869 at Little Woolton, a suburb of the city of Liverpool. She was the second of six children born to Edward Jones (d. 1904) of Wrexham and Catherine Welsh (1844-1908), an Irish-Liverpudlian. The couple married at St George, Everton on 19 April 1863.
Edward, a carriage proprietor, and Catherine took the infant Ada to St Nicholas, Halewood on 2 May to receive the sacrament of baptism in accordance with the rites of the Church of England.
Ada had an older brother, Edward (1864-1909) to whom she would remain close until his death. The census of 1871 enumerated the family at 33 Halewood Road, Little Woolton.
A clutch of younger siblings would follow:
• Alfred (1871-1932)
• Maud (1873-1955)
• Everilda Violetta (1878-1944)
• Leah (1880-1956)
The census of 1881 enumerated the expanded family at 113 North End, Halewood, bordering on Little Woolton and near Liverpool's south-eastern boundary. Ada's father was employed as a groom, as he had been at the time of his marriage. Absent from the household schedule is Ada's brother, Edward. The eldest child of the family had left home several years earlier to be apprenticed to John Porter (1838-1922). A thoroughbred flat racing trainer, Porter trained horses that won twenty three of the British Classic Races, including seven in The Derby.
The 1891 census reveals considerable changes in Ada's life. The entire Jones family, with the exception of Edward, who was becoming well-known as a jockey in France, Italy, and Germany, had left the Liverpool suburbs for the Wirral peninsula on the other side of the River Mersey. Ada had married Joseph Dodd (1857-1940), a plumber, at Christ Church, Claughton in 1889. The census enumerated them at 10 Heathfield Road, within the parish boundaries of Christ Church, with their infant daughter, Ethel Maud (b. 1890).
Ethel Maud was followed by Joseph Edward (1892-1967), Eva (1893-1981), Violetta (1894-95), John Trevelyan (1897-1966), James Archibald (b.1898), Vera Banks (b. + d. 1900), and Freda (1904-79).
The 1901 census enumerated the Dodd family at 10 Heathfield Road. Ada's youngest sibling, Leah Jones (1880-1956) was also part of the large household. She was employed as an operator in a telephone exchange.
The period 1904-1908 saw the birth of Ada's youngest known child, Freda, and the deaths of her parents, Edward and Catherine, both of whom were buried at Holy Cross, Woodchurch. In 1909, Ada's brother, Edward, now retired as jockey, returned to England with his German wife, Maria Theresia ("Marie") Högerich (b. 1868), in order to visit the parental grave. Edward was already suffering from heart disease. Towards the end of November, he was taken ill with bronchitis that exacerbated his cardiac condition. Edward died at Ada and Joseph's home on 5 December and Joseph registered the death the following day. Edward was buried with his parents at Woodchurch.
The census of 1911 enumerated Ada and her family at 167 Woodchurch Road, Birkenhead. Two children, Ethel Maud and Joseph Edward, had left the family home. Joseph Edward has not been traced on a census return but was training to be a plumber. Ethel Maud was living at 20 Bentley Road, Claughton with her maternal aunt, Everilda Violetta, wife of Alfred Stewart McLaren, and their little daughter, Mabel Audrey Stewart McLaren (1907-96). Ethel Maud was employed as a typist.
The nineteen-twenties saw the marriages of two of Ava and Joseph's children. John Edward Dodd married Margaret Ashton in 1922. Two sons were born of this union. Alfred Raymond (1926-2000) and John Graham (b. 1936). Eva Dodd married George Percival Bunker (1885-1961) in 1926. There was no issue of their marriage.
The 1939 Register, taken due to the onset of war with the purpose of producing National Identity Cards, enumerated Ada and Joseph Dodd at 167 Woodchurch Road with two unmarried children. John Trevelyan was employed in engineering while Freda was a confectionary seller. Joseph was still working as a plumber. In four months he would be dead.
Joseph Dodd died at the family home on 23 January 1940 at the age of 82 years. He was buried at Landican Cemetery on 26th of the month.
Later in 1940 John Trevelyan Dodd married Irene Elizabeth Hughes (1907-99). A daughter, Thelma Bruce Dodd, was born in 1942.
