Anyway, if I put that, it would read ""Jones is Birthday"
Should it not be "Joness' Birthday"?

The convention is that you add the extra s for names of 1 or 2 syllables
but skip it for 3 or more

So I wouldn't need to add the additinal 's' if I was refering to Roger More' Birthday?
(I'm a bit confused now)

I'm only referring to names that already end in an 's'
So you would add it for any names that doesn't end in an 's'
Roger Moore's
Arnold Schwarzenegger's
Jesus's
Angelos Papadopoulos'

But that still means "Roger Moore is Birthday"
Oh I don't understand... Is it nearly Bear Tiem yet?
