DipArch (Cape Town), FRIBA., MISRA, MISWAA, ISAA, TPIA. Was born in Victoria, Western Cape Province, son of George Hussey, school master (1865 Norfolk, Eng - 1940 South Africa) and Alice Draycott (abt 1877 England - 1936 South Africa), educated at SACS. He obtained his Diploma in Architecture from the University of Cape Town and furthered his studies at the University of Liverpool School of Architecture. He did active duty in World War II as Major in the South African Engineering Corps and was still recorded as being in the Reserve of Officers in 1950. He married Madea Angelo on 1951 05 03. In 1958 he is recorded as principal in G MARK HUSSEY & PARTNERS. In 1959 and again in 1969 he is recorded as principal and partner in the practice G MARK HUSSEY, VAN RENSBURG and ASSOCIATES, of address 601 Van der Stel Buildings, Pretorius Street, Pretoria, Transvaal with offices in Cape Town and Durban. ___________________ George Hussey was first married to Florence Elizabeth Hawkins (1868-1951) in Victoria, Australia in 1896. Although not all records may be available, it appears no divorce occurred. It also appears that the implied marriage in 1907 in Folkstone, Kent, England, between Hussey and Draycott, occurred, and it is assumed to be a common law marriage. There is a lot of conflicting detail surrounding Alice Draycott as well, her birthplace not aligning. (Anne Kelsall, September 2025) List of projects With photographs With notes
