It seems that Jonathan had a little industrial unrest from his workers as this extract from the Beccles & Bungay Weekly News dated 19 September 1865 (Page 4, column 1) shows:
Builders Strike The dissatisfaction at the present rate of wages which has been manifested at Yarmouth and other neighbouring places has now shewn itself here. We understand that delegates from the amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners have been sowing the seeds of discontent among our artisans, and the result has been that on Monday, the 11th September, a paper without a signature or date was shown to Mr PELLS, Mr WOODROFFE, and Mr BLUNDERFIELD, calling upon them to advance the rate of wages from 18 Shillings to 20 Shillings per week, and to reduce the hours of labour to 4 o'clock on Saturdays instead of 5 o'clock as heretofore. No reply to this demand having been given by the masters, in consequence of the paper being, as already stated, neither signed nor dated, on Friday morning the same builders received each a copy of the following: -

Sir,
Not having a satisfactory answer to our notice, we hereby one and all agree not to work in your employment after Saturday the 16th September. J. GOFFIN E. HINDES F. CHAPLIN J. SPATCHETT J. LOCKWOOD J. PRIME J. GOFFIN G. BLOCK J. BARBER J. CLARKE S. LARKE F. LARKE W. WOOLNOUGH H. THROWER G. GRAY

On Saturday evening the master builders named above offered the men the advance of two shillings per week after the 23rd September, provided they work the same hours as heretofore. On Monday morning they resumed their employment.

By July 1874, Jonathan appears to try his hand at running an Inn. He sells his building stock and furniture and takes over the Tunns Inn at Yoxford, Suffolk. Unfortunately things do not seem to work out and he is auctioning off the contents of the Inn as well as the coaching horses and carriages, which sounds as if he was closing the business. By early 1876, there are a number of creditors meetings being held - Jonathan presumably having gone bankrupt.

By 1881, he has moved to Wymondham in Norfolk and returned to carpentry and building work..
