« on: Monday 07 October 19 14:45 BST (UK)  »
Further:-
Just for clarification he actually had THREE wives, Ellen Williams, then Elizabeth Ellis and thirdly Rebecca Jones.

Ellen is buried Holy Trinity, Penrhyndeudraeth.
Elizabeth is buried in St Twrog, Maentwrog with their son Samuel age 8.
Rebecca and her son Joseph Jones are buried in the next grave to Elizabeth and Samuel.
Robert Roberts died 1913 and is buried with Rebecca who died 1915.
Elizabeth Rowlands married a previous chap with surname Ellis. Who was he?

Now related to at least 12 graves in St Twrog.

Update
Have received kind response from RCMP Archives,
Francis Davies was with the RCMP Depot Division at Regina, Saskatchewan from 1920 to 1924, employed as a tailor.

No details on what he did next or where he went. Still searching for him and Margaret Jane Parsey nee Davies who went there to look after him in 1923. No details on what happened to her either.

Have also privately obtained a history book on Depot Division which makes interesting reading.

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Re: Census: Bennison
« on: Sunday 16 September 18 20:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I’ve tracked back from Francis Bennison of Prospect St Aberystwyth to his father Edward who was a stonemason, Bolton and Manchester, he traces to family including Marmaduke of Grantham, Lincolnshire.

Francis son Frank died WW1. Francis owned trawler Albatross fishing Liverpool, Hoylake, off Isle of Man, Aberystwyth, Newquay. See CLIP Crew Lists index project website too for Francis.

Francis wife is Sarah Ellen nee Davies, my Davies family, check census for  shop in Aberystwyth, pub etc. Lots to be found yet for Bennison. Hope this helps just widen research and good luck.
Regards Gareth.

Hi Sandra, yes I read it as F.E.Davies too but Liverpool births at 1900-1902 don’t have an FE. I’ve located the 1923 marriage today too thank you but I’m limited by info at present unless I gain details from RCMP to my email.
I’ve spent hours researching this past few days. Hope they come back to me soon. I appreciate your suggestions thank you. Gareth.

Hi Sandra
Margaret Jane Davies md Henry Parsey, Dragoon Guardsman who went on to marry Alice Maud Clarke, committing bigamy for which he was tried and found guilty, press cuttings relate more details. He stayed with Alice and had offspring who may not be aware of his earlier bride. Hence she travelled as a single woman but the travel form reads ‘married’ as to her status. She was his first wife after all. It’s a tangled web for sure. I’ve updated my ancestry tree now has 3200+ relatives. Gareth.

Thank you for the link, I’ve sent an email and crossed my fingers.
He can’t be aged 117 I’m sure, so maybe they can help me.
Much appreciated.
Regards Gareth.
Another rainy day in Stoke!

I believe the two pillars either side of the Clough Hall turnstile entrance are now either side of the entrance to the Kidsgrove Memorial Garden; check out that circle or dimple on both pillars.
