What was George's occupation?

[Chanti]

I only know a few of them Clara Jones was born march 13, 1918 in Toronto but I dont know when edgar, edwin, gladys, nor the last living female Jones is born.

My mom does not recall if her grandparents george and Emily jones were born in canada or else where.

Also she does not know what george's occupation was as he was dead before she was born.

She did say that they lived in toronto on Badger or bager rd

will try and talk to my moms eldest sibiling to find out if he can remember any other detail.

George and Emily Jones had several children, Clara, Eileen (my grandma), Edgar, Edwin, Living Jones, Living Jones, May.

I only know a few of them Clara Jones was born march 13, 1918 in Toronto but I dont know when edgar, edwin, gladys, nor the last living female Jones is born.

Your first list of children didn't mention Gladys.  Do you think that the death for Gladys Cook could be yours.  Perhaps someone can look up her obituary in the Toronto Star for you and see if it contains pertinent information such as siblings.

You could also contact the Toronto library and ask for a lookup in their city directories.  Track George Jones by name and see how many there were, where they lived, their occupations.  Sometimes the wife's name is also given.  If the children went out to work and still remained at home their presence in the same household as George would be important information.

There's a 1922 Toronto directory here but I can't see Torrance Road http://www.archive.org/details/torontodirec192200midiuoft

There are a lot of Geo Joneses listed on page 1004

[J.J.]

Torrance road is just a wee strip of road, and he was obviously in an apartment...so likely only the apt. owner/head would be listed anyway... but the street isn't listed for any George Jones in 1921 either... odd....
Guess the 1921 census will tell you his occupation, which will help point him out on the ship's lists.

ShaunJ how did you get the 1922 directory to open for you, I have never been able to get it to work??

ShaunJ how did you get the 1922 directory to open for you

I open it in DJVu mode (the option below Read Online) - that works fine

1921 Toronto directory in Todmorden (4 1/2 miles east of City Hall)
Jones, Geo, lab, h. 147A Gamble Ave.
The description of Todmorden is the wording from the 1921 directory.
