Missing Davies Children (with Thorburn and Bowen connection)

[Mabel Bagshawe]

I also wonder about this for Alice

There's a marriage in 1900 between David John and Alice Davies, and the children here have mmn Davies  (youngest daughter's name in GRO birth reg is Merirna)

Given place of birth on 1911(https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7JM-SBK) I thin this the most likely birth

EVANS, DAVID  EMLYN      mmn DAVIES
q3 1908 CARMARTHEN  Volume 11A  Page 1337

A little local difficulty in 1917

Have come to the same conclusion myself in the interim. Thanks. Although by 1911 esther and husband had moved back to Pontyberem  and it says Elinor was born in Llannon, I wonder if this is actually the case. Given that that her and morgan evans married in Neath in 1903 I think there are a couple of candidates for her birth (see below).

Excellent spot on the newspaper article, sound an ‘interesting’ couple

You are doing very well. Thanks very much again. Looks like a very strong candidate. Now have to try and find her in 1891 and 1901 as his would help support this. The last instance I can find for her is in 1881 but she must be around somewhere. She would have been 12 in the 1891 census and 22 in the 1901 census

This must be Alice and David in 1901 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X9B3-7T1

I have found this David (09 dec 1878)  and Alice in the 1939 register with their children  at Hyfrydle,  including Annie M with a birth date of  20 sep 1903 and Mervina as Mervina Maddrick with a DOB of 07 feb 1908 and presumably another daughter, Jenny 17 jun 1918.  “This” Alice has a birth date of 28 dec 1878, while ‘my’ Alice has a birth date of 28 nov 1878, therefore I think they must be the same, with either my recorded month of birth or that in the 1939 register being wrong.

Hi,

I know the age is a bit out but I wonder if the person filling out the form would have known the right age for their little servant Alice,

Thanks. Does seem the only likely match. Poor thing. Hopefully they were related in some way and took good care of her

Than you very much. Does seem to fit. I think I’ll have to order the marriage certificate, only way to find out for definite
