My name is Averil (nee Sykes) Father, Percy Edwin Sykes. Late grandfather, John James Sykes who passed away in Atbara,Sudan in the 1920's. Was an engineer with the British Railway. Married Enes Barbier in Alexandria, Egypt. His fathers name could have been Joseph Sykes (a hatter) who married Mary (nee Ralph) around 1879. These once lively fellows are driving me absolutely nuts....did they EVER exist!!!!!
