Have you tried searching the Census', particularly 1901 & 1911 ?. Sadly I don't have full access but using Ancestry free search it appears he was born and lived in Lanarkshire, Scotland and was there with wife Fanny M Jones in 1891. By the 1901 Census they've moved down to Yorkshire, in 1911 WALES Census he's in "Monmouthshire" which includes the Coleford area in that Census.

So at a guess he could have been working in Coleford area from abt 1911, if not earlier, up until his retirement at abt 1925 ?.

I wonder if he advertised in the local papers too, that might yield more specific dates ?.

Searching for prior threads I wonder is this is POSSIBLY his son, Frederick Edward Jones, working as a photographer in Cinderford in Kelly's Directory of 1914 ????

Also see him mentioned on
http://www.sungreen.co.uk/Can-You-Help/A_Family_in%20_the_Forest.html

and this which suggests he was at Coleford working by 1905.

There's been a Camera Club meeting regularly in the Forest for several years, they may well be able to help.
