About Evan Rowland Jones
Lived 1840 – 1920 (aged 80). Evan Rowland Jones was a British journalist and politician.
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.
