I am stuck! I'm looking for my 2 x Gt Grandfather's death. He was baptised on 28th December, 1817 in Llanbadarn Fawr, Cardiganshire. The 1851 Census shows him as a Rail Straightener living at the Rhymney Valley Steelworks. He married Mary Owen in Newport in 1853 and they had three children Eleanor, Mary and William. I have been able to trace the family up to 1881 when John was a lodger in Hill Street, Ebbw Vale, still working as a Rail Straightener. Eleanor married in July 1881 and the certificate shows her father and his occupation. His wife died in September 1889 and is shown to be resident at 3 West View Terrace, Ebbw Vale (which adjoins Hill Street) and is described as a widow. The daughter, Mary, moved into West View Terrace after her mother's death so I know that it is the correct certificate.

I have obtained numerous death certificates for John Davies in the Bedwellty area but none seem to match, being either the wrong age or occupation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for a birth record for my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather, Simon Davies, born circa 1776 Llanbadarn Fawr, married Elinor Owens in 1806 and died 1848. He was a non-conformist attending the Soar Chapel which opened in 1803.
