Trying to find info on a vicar Frederick Jones who was vicar of St Matthews in Burnley from 1923 until 1945. Previously he had been vicar or curate at Bosley St Mary's in Macclesfield. I have no Idea of his date of birth or death as yet. Can anyone help? :-) :-) :-)

There is this one in Burnley in the 1939 register:-

Rev. Frederick Jones is mentioned from page 4 of the document.

Ancestry suggests that this could be the marriage of that 1939 couple;

Frederick Jones

Marriage Age: 28
Event Type: Marriage
Birth Year: abt 1881

That Frederick is a science demonstrator.
In 1911 he's a science teacher (Bachelor of Science).

But perhaps he became a "Clerk in holy orders' later.

Their ages in 1911 fit with those in 1939.

hi. Yes I think you are definately correct with this being our Frederick Jones because in newspapers he was mentioned as having a Bsc. So it looks like he was born on Merseyside or Everton to be precise. Thankyou so much for all the detail. Appreciated.
regards
Shirley :-)

it did also say in the newspaper that he was to reside at Park field which is just up from the church, closer to Scott park.
so we have the correct chap thanks :-)
