Help with information about Architects
« on: Saturday 21 December 24 13:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, I am searching for information about a
 Cyril Richard Jones.

I have his Birth/Marriage and 1939 Register details.

Cyril was born in 1936 till 1998 Preston Lancashire, I have been told he was an Architect mainly working abroad. (Possible the Philippines).

Is there anyway I can search for more details about Cyril and his line of work.

Thanks

Which company did he work for?  Have you located him on any outgoing/ incoming passenger lists - although they are only available online to 1960 when he was only 24

Married 1955 & appears to have had 6 children born 1956 - 1973 - Can they provide any info?

The newspapers report on a Cyril Jones, architect, Kidderminster, winning events at motorcycle grass track meetings in the 1960s.

There is also a Mr Cyril Jones, senior architect with William Saunders and Partners, speaking at a planning meeting in Newark-on-Trent in February 1963.

These my be completely different people.

Thank you all for your help.

I am doing the family tree for my sons partner for Christmas.

She doesn't  know a great deal about her family history so it's been difficult to find information. She just knows that Cyril was an architect and worked abroad most of the time.

I have looked at passenger list but have had no luck.

Thanks again
