Find Ancestors

To everyone.

I also found out yesterday whilst asking about grave numbers that,
my Grandmother is burried with her first husband Owen Evans and alongside them is their 6 week old son Thomas Jan 4th 1886.

Vivien

Good morning

We did go to visit but unfortunately at that time we had no grave numbers, we
walked round for 3 hours and did not see anything. Plus we went on a weekend and the offices were closed.
In September we will be going again armed with grave numbers and it will be during the week.

regards Vivien

Thanks for that info Vivien. Did you visit the grave? Was there a headstone - if so, what was written on it?

Firstly my apologies, I have been replying to everyone individually and not on the Thread, as I did not know what I was doing.
I sent for the Death Cert. from Merthyr Tydfil Registrars.
I had David Jones Death Certificate. I rang the Register of Graves to find out were
he was burried as we were going to Wales. The gentleman we spoke to said he was burried in with his wife Elizabeth and sent me a copy of the register. This shows the date of death of David which is the same as the Death Cert.
There is a huge age difference between Elizabeth and David.
I had a photograph of my Dads uncle, Edward and on the back it said he emigrated
to Chicago.
I'm sorry do not know whether he married here or not.

Regards Vivien

Hi Vivien,

Can I ask how you know that David's first wife was called Elizabeth?

You said you had some death and burial information. Are these original documents or ones you have bought yourself recently?

I have found a David and Elizabeth at 12 Pant Rd in 1891 but the ages aren't a match - although they may be wrong on the 2nd marriage cert anyway if they didn't tell the truth.

Also, how have you got hold of that Chicago address and date of travel? I assume if it's 1880, Edward is probably an older brother. Do you know if he married either in wales or the US, or when he died?

Hi.

Do you want the marriage to Margaret because I do not have Elizabeths as yet.

Vivien - if you could let us have the details from David's marriage cert we could probably find him for you..................

We really do need them if we are to continue.

ALL the details please, including witnesses.

Also, please confirm Elizabeth's age at death in 1902.

Thanks,

Hello everyone. again Thank you.

1 Pant Road in the 1901 census seems to be the Prince Llewellyn pub run by William and Margaret James.

Good question Janice - let's hope that Vivien comes back with an answer soon !!

Are these death certs that have been passed down the family, or ones you have bought yourself?

Can you let us have ALL the details from David's marriage cert please?

Vivien,

You say:

"I have a death cert for Elizabeth Jones died 9.5.1902 age 67 wife of David Jones
1 Pant Rd Dowlais."

Was she really aged 67 in 1902 ?? - that would make her approx 25 years older than David ?

Dea x
