Well in my experience, the accidentals on the chromatic row are usually fairly close to the regular note on the C row.

 

For a better look at the various layouts, I suggest you check out Jergen Suttner's Concertina pages. He includes layouts for the Jefferies and Wheatstone/Lachenal layouts that include where the notes appear on the musical staff.

His first name is spelled "Juergen" or "Jürgen".

 

But here's the link.

that's because Jurgen's first name is spelt with a u ...

 

Here is his web site: www.suttnerconcertinas.com. I got it from that compendium of concertina knowledge (blowing my own trumpet, I know) the Concertina FAQ.

Edited to add PS: I see Jim was busy replying at the same time. It must be right, then.
