Desperate for help please - COMPLETED with thanks
« on: Sunday 22 June 14 20:22 BST (UK) »
After years of searching for Uncle William Davies I strongly believe, in fact I know, if it is correct that while browsing 1906 Newspaper - "The Barry Herald" online I have come across a notice of death of William Davies at Ystradgynlais, son of Mrs. Owens, 31 Everard Street, Barry Dock Age 18yrs. 17th November 1906 - Paper dated 23rd November 1906

I cannot find on Freebmnd or FindMyPast any reference number or mention of death.
Can anyone help please. I do not know why at Ystradgynlais but desperate to obtain D/Cert to bring closure to long-standing search after buying many wrong Certs of Marriage and Death.

Thank you, Syljun

a death in Ystradgynlais at that time should be registered at Pontardawe. As he was away from home, his death may have been registered by someone who didn't know his exact age. There is this one
