Daniel edwards tongwynlais.
« on: Tuesday 03 April 18 01:32 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am helping a friend look for relatives of her father Daniel Edward Edwards.

Daniel Edward Edwards was born in 1922 and was brought up by some family members in Tongwynlais, Glamorgan. My friend thinks that they may have been grandparents but we can’t seem to find anyone of same name. They ran the chip shop in the main road in Tongwynlais.

Daniel Edward Edwards parents were Daniel Edwards born 1904 and Violet Davies born 1901 They married in 1922.

We don’t have a marriage certificate yet for Daniel and Violet that we would hope give their father’s names.

We think the years could be any time between 1922and 1942 when he married

Daniel Edward Edwards served in the Royal Navy. So some of the latter years he may have enlisted.

I am hoping that someone may have some local knowledge that could help my friend who lives in Australia.

Thanks
Gill

Hi Rosie 99

His daughter said he wasn’t registered for years but was born in 1922. His daughter’s date of birth was 1945. He was married in 1942. I wonder why he wasn’t registered for many years.

Regards
Gill

I think you could possibly be right with that birth registration Maureen  :) 

The 1922 entry I posted was handwritten at the bottom of the page, so added when the 1933 certificate was issued.

Yes 1922 confirms what we know and I know his parents were Daniel and Violet. I wonder in anyone has access to electoral records for tongwynlais for the chip shop to see who lived there between 1922 and 1942 (when Daniel married) to see if I can tie the owners to Daniel’s family. My friend is not sure whether they were grandparents or other relatives and has no one to ask.

I now have a marriage certificate for Daniel and Violet. It states that Daniel’s father when they married was deceased but his name was Phillip Edwards. At the time if Marriage Daniel was living at Lock House tongwynlais.  And Phillip was was employed as a foreman railway plate ?
Daniel was employed tin plate ? In tin works which I am presuming May be Melingriffith .

Violet’s father was Arthur Davies. Violet was living at time if marriage at Church Street, Tongwynlais. I still can’t seem to find either of the families on 1901 or 1911 census. I think one was born in 1901 and the other in 1904 but can’t seem to find their father’s.

Phillip Edwards must have died between Daniel’s birth and 1922

Thanks for any more help I may get,

Gill

Hi Gill,

 Do you have the marriage witnesses for Daniel and Violet,please?

 Also is there an actual house number on Church Street for Violet?

 I have a strange feeling that Arthur DAVIES was born Henry Arthur DAVIES. There's a Henry Arthur Davies in the British Army WWI Pension Records 1914-1920 on Ancestry. Says born 1879 Tongwynlais, Glamorgan. His NOK is daughter Violet of 4 Church Street.

If he's the one I think he is then he was actually born ~1873 Tongwynlais. (son of John and Abigail)

I see him on the 1901 census with wife Catherine A and children Trevor and Olwen.
4999/106/15

I think this is possibly Violet living with her aunt and uncle in 1911:

I'll let you see what you think.
