He died ⁴ on 08 Mar 1910 in Lowestoft, Suffolk. He was buried ⁵ on 14 Mar 1910 in Kirkley Cemetery, Lowestoft, Suffolk. Jonathan married ^{6, 7} Susannah Sophia REYNOLDS-R0557 on 13 Sep 1864 in Seething, Norfolk.

He was counted in a census on 30 Mar 1851 in Magdalen St, Pawseys Yard, Norwich St Saviour, Norfolk. He was described as Scholar, aged 10 years, boarding in Norwich.

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..

Susannah Sophia REYNOLDS-R0557 was born about May 1839 in Hellesdon, Norwich, Norfolk. She was christened on 13 Jun 1839 in St Mary's Church, Hellesdon, Norwich, Norfolk. She died ¹ in Nov 1909 in Lowestoft, Suffolk. She was buried ² on 29 Nov 1909 in Kirkley Cemetery, Lowestoft, Suffolk. Susannah married ^{3, 4} Jonathan BLUNDERFIELD-B0525 on 13 Sep 1864 in Seething, Norfolk.

Susannah was counted in a census on 06 Jun 1841 in St Faith's Road, Hellesdon, Norwich, Norfolk. She was described as aged 2 years. She was counted in a census on 30 Mar 1851 in Aylesham Road, Hellesdon, Norwich, Norfolk. She was described as Daughter aged 11 years, a Scholar. She was counted in a census on 02 Apr 1871 in Station Road, Beccles, Suffolk. She was described as a Builder's Wife aged 31 years. She was counted in a census on 03 Apr 1881 in Bridewell Street, Wymondham, Norfolk. She was described as Wife aged 40 years. She was counted in a census on 05 Apr 1891 in 160, Denmark Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk. She was described as Wife aged 50 years. She was counted in a census on 31 Mar 1901 in 160, Denmark Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk. She was described as Wife aged 61 years.

The order of her forenames varied during her lifetime.
It appears that the birth wasn't registered but she was baptised on the 13 Jun 1839 with the names Susanna Sophia. The 1841 and 1851 Censuses record her as Sophia but when she married in 1864 she signed the register as Susannah Sophia and was still using that order when the 1871 Census was taken. However, by the time of the 1881 census she had begun to use Sophia as her first name and this continued. The registraion of her death is in the form Sophia Susannah.
