No this man thomas had a son called Bill  born 1926 its him i am interesting in finding but if there is any info on Thomas that would be great

As you can see we are not getting very far.
Is this correct?
Your information says that 'Bill' changed his name by deed poll. He may have changed his first name also as you have no birth record for him.
You have some reference for him up to 1970s because of his occupation.
You know his father's name.
I can only think that you try to find out about the name change through records.
You try to find his father's death and perhaps a will.
You are already aware of the information found on here which could be quite sensitive as people could still be living.
It seems to be too difficult a task. Sorry.

I think i mention his bane was changed to william G Kurban which is on his marriage . so could have been william G Jones. I know his fathers and mother names .


Finding the name change was what this post was about ......
No sensitive info on here

but thanks for trying

[heywood]

I meant that the subsequent finds re William G's marriage could be sensitive, which you have said you are not interested in but we have discussed.

Your first post did say you wanted to find out if he changed his first name also and you said in a later post that he could have changed his whole name.
However, if his name is William Jones then that would help you re the deed poll information.

As Thomas E Jones married Salina Kurban in Egypt have you looked at possible Jones births on the GRO consular births index

thank you the only two birth i found in uk jones/kuran were two diffrent names and diffferent birth year which makes me think was he born in uk if he wass born in egpty then cant find any birth for overseas births with his name. or are they wrong and it was not just his last name he changed needf to get the two birth cert to check who those parebnts are.. as could not find any death for any of them not even a salina jones who i know eneded up in a meantal instutution ..

Who is Salina Jones? Is that the same person as Salian Kurban you mention in your first post? Is one a typo - Salian or Salina?  When and where was she in the institution?

[welshspencer]

Salina Kurban was from syria she married in Egypt in 1914 becoming Salina Jones on marriage index says Salina

I think you are talking about Bill Kurban who was a sound recordist for the BBC he worked on Blue Peter and was one of the sound guys on the Everest ascent in 1971 which failed just below the summit.

He was my uncle on my dads (Edward (Ted) Jones B.1928 London- D.1993 Wrington Near Bristol) side and he died in 1977 in Spain, he had a son Kieran. 
My name is Graham Jones and I have a brother Colin we think he changed his name in the 60's as he was credited on Blue Peter as Bill Jones, I can remember he got us Blue Peter badges and autographs from the presenters.

Bills mother was Selina Kurban 1896-1988 she died in Brentwood Essex, father was Thomas Ernest Jones of Oswestry Wales 1900-1949 they married in 1924.

There are still relatives in Lebanon, Selim Kurban who I think is Selina brother so my great uncle he was writing our mother maybe 10 years ago, I have tried to make contact as there are connections with the American University of Beruit (AUB) I think Selims son was an electrical engineer (as I am)  it seems to run in the family, unfortunately he died young, I believe there is a scholarship at the AUB in his name, but I have hit a dead end as I think they spell it differently there.
Any way hope this helps, feel free to get in touch
