CIA representative?
« on: Wednesday 21 July 21 08:33 BST (UK) »
Could some kind soul please explain what a "CIA representative" meant on a Durham (West Hartlepool) baptism from 1939.

It's written after the father's name.

I don't believe it's espionage related.  😉

Thanks,

John

Got it now, thanks.
I was locked on the idea that this was some kind of baptismal term (C****? in absentia, or something like that).
You made me realise that it was his occupation (which fits with his 1930 Register entry as an "Examiner Representative of the Chief Inspector of Armaments". Short-sighted or what? Duh! Too early in the morning! 😁
