Life story

Frida was born in Newport, Monmouthshire, the daughter of Richard William Jones and his wife Helen. Her father was a JP and magistrate who ran his own shipbroking business in Dock Street, Newport. He worked for the Liberal Party and was a Harbour Commissioner. Richard was highly respected by the town and at his death on 26th April 1890, the flag was hung at half mast from the Town Hall.
