Can anyone give me any information on a Welsh Artist by the name of Trevor Rees Jones?
The best I can do is a Trefor O. Jones. The spelling of the first name is correct.


He exhibited between 1924 and 1938, lived in Holyhead around 1929, seems to have settled in London, Hampstead Garden Suburb.


Documented exhibitions are:


Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. 1.


Royal Academy, London. 3.


Some things tie in, the dates and that he was known as a pen and wash artist. No more to add. Do you know the subject of your drawing? If it is a landscape it may fit in with where he lived.


Good luck.
Reply:sorry, never heard of the artist, only the bodyguard who survived Princess Diana's crash
Reply:Try searching for Trevor Rhys Jones too - some artists often use two spellings of their names.
Reply:I have found 3 entries in the 1901 cencus for a Trevor R Jones for you. The 1st born in 1877 who was a coal hewer born in Llanguick Glamorgan, the 2nd was a coach builder born in 1882 in Flint, Rhyl and the 3rd was born in Pontypridd, Glamorganshire. If you buy a voucher then you can access the site address below and possibly discover which one you may be looking for. I hope this is of help to you. Good Luck in your search
