You could try contacting Pontypridd FH Library via email they are very helpful, if able to help. They may have the interment records for Glyntaff Cem, if lucky may have dob.

Info from electrol register may help, need address given from death cert/probate.  Nothing ventured...worth a shot.

Thanks Ray. Have sent off for his will. Not overly confident, as we think he would’ve just left everything to his wife, but hopeful that there may be a clue to his origins in there. Fingers crossed!

Hi Trixie

In this instance there isn't a will, only a letter of administration.

there is a description of the terms towards the bottom

Regrettably you will get no more information apart from an address.

You may want to try and cancel your order from HMCTS but I don't know if that is possible.

Thanks Cas. Have now heard back from Cemetery enquiry, and no DOB in the burial records unfortunately. Will contact the library and see if there are newspapers of the time which may have more on the accident that took his life, and maybe a death notice if we’re lucky, although his parents and brother were up in Durham.

Even now, very few cemeteries and crematoria ask for dates of birth, they generally ask for an age last birthday.

They only ask for a date of death for their records.

Oh! Thanks dawnsh, we ordered it a few days ago now so might be too late to cancel. Gee it’s definitely not proving easy to get info on this man!

And thanks for the advice re Cemetery records. I think we have been incredibly spoiled in Australia, we seem to record everything!

[dawnsh]

you might be spoiled but trying to get information out of the Australian authorities is nigh on impossible for events less than so many years.

Only if the people are still living though, which is fair enough, but that’s where the electoral rolls come in handy.
