Evan Rowland Jones

Major Evan Rowland Jones (30 September 1840 – 16 January 1920) was a soldier, American consul in Newcastle and Cardiff and latterly a Welsh Liberal politician who served as MP for Carmarthen Boroughs from 1892 until 1895.

Jones in 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.[1] Ultimately, however, Davies withdrew in favour of W. Llewelyn Williams.

Jones did not stand for Parliament again.
