Immigration - Niagara falls
« on: Tuesday 03 June 14 19:22 BST (UK) »
Can anyone give any info. on William Davies b. Cardiff, Wales 1889 - Unmarried arrived 24th August 1912 at Niagara Falls please.
I am wondering if this could be my long-lost Uncle last heard of on 1911 Census working as a Miner at Pontypridd, Wales.
Help with info. on this William would be of great help as I do not know where to search next. All avenues seem to have been exhausted and have been searching for years and would like to bring search to conclusion.
Thank you, Syljun

I see you've had a number of threads looking for an uncle named William Thomas Davies born in 22 Sep 1888 but in the posts I've looked at (I've not looked in them all) I haven't seen any mention of his parents. Can you provide that information as it may help with the search.

Hi, Thank you Sandra. Another to cross off list. I keep coming back to searching for William.

Hi Jacquie, His Parents were William Davies and Mary Jane (nee Stringer). Father William b. 31st May 1859 Died 14th August 1893 - Barry, Glamorgan. Mary Jane remarried 1895 to Alfred Owen - Died 1904.
Registration District for Barry was Cardiff and have come to notice that sometimes birthplace is put as Cardiff.  Mother Mary Jane Owen died 1937 - Barry, Glamorgan, Wales.
Thank you both for replying. Syljun
