I've just found my grandfather, Robert (Bob) Carrington, age 27, on the 1911 census in Birkenhead. He was living in lodgings with his older cousin Edward Francis Jones (1880-c1950). Both were working as joiners. I believe Edward remained in Birkenhead before passing away c1950. The cousins were apparently very close. In 1952 his widow Ada became my grandfather's second wife.
Edward Francis' parents were John Jones from Llanarmon(c1859) and Maria Carrington (May 13, 1859) who married in a Wrexham Civil marriage in 1880.
According to the 1901 census Edward had at least five younger sisters: Ellen JONES born c 1882 Mary Elizabeth JONES born c 1885 (believed to have died c1924) Selina JONES born c 1888 Annie JONES born c 1891 Margaret JONES born c 1898 (believed to have died c1922)
If anyone recognizes one or more of the sisters I would like to make contact.

Hi Tom
I don't have the image number but have saved it as John Jones & Maria Jones (Maria died in 1932 age 73?) If anyone could transcribe the Welsh that would help! Unfortunately the grass covers over half of the stone in the picture.
If you have the details I would really appreciate a post.
Best wishes Heather

Many thanks Tom. It's too much of a coincidence not be them I would say. How very sad. So unless Ellen or Annie married and had children the line may have died out. I don't believe Edward Francis & Ada had any children of their own.
Thanks again for posting the info. Heather
