Grandfather : Cyrille Owen Soady

This is something I want do for my mother as she knows very little about her father who died when she was very young (about 9 years old). he was i think around 40-46 yrs old at the time and was married to a Phyllis Soady (nee Hart). He was from the torpoint area and had a brother and we think a sister who my mum thinks moved to the US. He was born around 1911 and worked in Devonport dockyard. Any information would be very much appreciated. My mum is getting older (51, not so old) and wants dearly to regain contact with the soady sider of her family. the brother we think was called sidny or perhaps james, we're not entirely sure.

thank you

Hi

My name is Peter Soady and after reading your post with reference to a Cyril Owen. I had an uncle with the name of Cyril Owen who dies around 1967. He was married twice and I believe that his first wife's name was Phyllis. I am wondering if this could be the same person.
Cyril lived in Swindon for many years. I am unsure of any further details as I was only very young at the time of his death and like you, in the process of building my family tree for my mother and history.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the message. My grandfather was Cyrille Owen Soady from Looe in Cornwall and he was married to Phyllis. They had one daughter, Pamela.

I don't think he spent any time in Swindon (though part of his family it is thought moved to Chippenheim). He lived and worked during his adult life in Plymouth was certainyl married to Phyllis when he died in c.1957 of resiratory failure.

Any ideas?

Not too sure but it seems about the right time. I will make further enquiries with my family. May take a little while but I will get back to you as soon as I can

I am Gillian Mary Hewitt, born Gillian Mary Soady. I can't help directly with your search for Cyrille Owen, but I do know that there are still many members of the Soady family in Looe.

I didnt know my father after I was four years old and have since discovered an entire Cornish family which I didn't know existed. I have got a family tree of the Soady family in Looe descending from James Soady and Mona Clements. I could send you a photocopy of this if you like. I might also be able to contact some people to help your seach. I will speak to my cousin, also a Soady, living near Looe and see if she knows any good contacts.

Good luck

Jillie.
