Unfortunately I'm not currently a subscriber to GenesReunited. I have looked at the newspapers on FindMyPast to no avail.

Thanks Rena, that helps me get some perspective. I've e-mailed the Institute of Clerk of Works in the faint hope I'll get some info on him. What I'd dearly like is that they have photo I.D. as I don't know what he looked like.

Thank you all for spending the time to give me some leads. Unfortunately my grandfather's life is a mystery to me. So far I have found him being a builder's lorry driver in 1925 Blyth, possibly a builder's merchant in Gateshead 1934, and a Clerk of Works in Newcastle-Under-Lyme in 1939. When he died in 1968 Wolverhampton he was a retired Clerk of Works. I would like to know more about his life,and wonder whether the institute or council would be able to tell me anything. Any thoughts, you kind people?

Is a Clerk of Works independent or attached to a particular body e.g. council or building firm? I'm trying to find out more about my grandfather who was a clerk of works, living in Wolverhampton until 1968.

Thanks again Carole. I am hoping to find living relatives, as despite years of searching I come up against a brick wall! As far as I can tell, most of her siblings died young. I would like to talk to someone who can fill in the gaps!

Yes Carole, she was born in Blyth in 1899. Her brother Thomas Philip was my grandfather, although I never knew him. Thank you for replying so quickly! Sorry but not sure of her death.

If you are descended from Lily Redford I would love to hear from you. She married John Redford in Glanford Brigg 1924, they had a son John D. Redford born 1928. I am her great-neice, but know very little about the Readman family, and would love to know more!
