Edwards, Pontrhydygroes

[Jill Shaw]

Looking for info  on parents and other ancestors of Samuel Edwards, born Pen-y-Banc, Pontrhydygroes, near Aberystwyth,  probably 1900-1905.  Sam married Clara and spent most of his adult life in England, retiring to his old home in the 1970s.
Researching on behalf of a descendant of his.

[Jill Shaw]

Thanks Kerry. I will pass that information on and see if the Glamorganshire link is recognised. I think my Samuel had a sister Nellie, which could be the Ellen you've found. Very helpful. Than ks again.

She is Ellen A  on next census and Samuel was born 1904
Have sent you details

[osprey]

do you know Clara's maiden name? That would enable you to identify their marriage and get details of Samuel's father from the marriage cert.

There are a couple of Samuel Edwards/Clara marriages registered Aberystwyth, one in 1928 and one in 1931.

[Isobelruss]

Was he Samuel Idris Edwards b 8 Sep 1903 died 1985 October?
married Clara F Slade Jun qu 1928

[Jill Shaw]

You have identified the right Samuel. Yes, he did marry Clara Slade - and now I come to think of it, her middle name was Frances.
The date of Samuel's death sounds about right too. I know that Clara died in May 1976.
Thanks again for your very prompt help.
