Family

John Arthur Edward Jones was born on 12 October 1818. His father was John Jones of Llanarth Court and his mother was Lady Harriet James Plunkett, daughter of Arthur Plunkett, 8th Earl of Fingall.

Llanarth Court

Llanarth Court is a late-18th-century country house with substantial 19th-century alterations in Llanarth, Monmouthshire, Wales. The court was built for the Jones family of Treowen, Monmouthshire and was subsequently the home of Ivor Herbert, 1st Baron Treowen, whose family still owns much of the Llanarth estate, although not the court itself. The court is a Grade II* listed building and is now a private hospital.

Arthur James Plunkett, 8th Earl of Fingall KP was a Roman Catholic Irish peer, styled Lord Killeen until 1793, and a leading supporter of the cause of Catholic Emancipation.

On 2 October 1848 he changed his surname to Herbert by Royal sign-manual. [3]


The royal sign-manual is the signature of the sovereign, by the affixing of which the monarch expresses his or her pleasure either by order, commission, or warrant. A sign-manual warrant may be either an executive act, or an authority for affixing the Great Seal of the pertinent realm. The sign-manual is also used to give power to make and ratify treaties. Sign manual, with or without hyphen, is an old term for a hand-written signature in general. It is also referred to as sign manual and signet.

On 12 November 1846 he married the Honourable Augusta Charlotte Elizabeth Hall, daughter of Benjamin Hall, 1st Baron Llanover. The children from this marriage were:
