Arthur Helsham-Jones: An Overview

I know very little about Arthur Helsham-Jones.  In 1888 Arthur's brother Henry took on the name Helsham changing his surname from Jones to Helsham-Jones.  However Arthur appears to have been using the name Helsham-Jones as early as 1881.  This name is very distinctive and notes pop up from time to time providing information about the Helsham-Jones family.  Some of these notes are as follows:

In her diary Elizabeth Jones make a reference to a picture hanging in "Dr Arthur Helsham's" dinning room (1866?).  Who was this Dr Arthur Helsham?  Was it her son or a distant relative?

In the1881 census Arthur Helsham-Jones was living at Ticton Hall, between Tickton and Hull Bridge, Humberside, with his wife Alice, and three daughters Dorothy, Margaret and Helen.  He is recorded as being a Bank Manager and having seven servants living in the house. 

There is a record on the internet of the Pinner Cricket Club renting grounds at Pinner Green from Mr Helsham-Jones in 1892.
