I'm tracing a Price family from Llanbedr in south Wales. I have a Rosina May Annetts born 1894 marrying a Thomas Price in 1916 Reg Merthyr T. They appear on the 1939 register living at the Red Lion Inn Llanbedr along with two redacted people (I presume my mother in law and her sister Irene). The family only knew about Irene (Reene, mother's name recorded as Annetta), but when I look up any Price child born after 1916 with a mother's name of Annetts I find a group of other people in Merthyr T who could be family, but ALL die as small children. Was there some terrible disease in the area around the 1920s? Or did the Annetts carry a gene that was fatal to boys?

Welcome to rootschat
Infant deaths were often because of poverty, only the death certificates would give you the true answer as to why they died.
-
I can only see 3 births in Merthyr on free bmd:
George P in June quarter 1917, Thomas P in June quarter 1920 and Irene M in September quarter 1923, so who is your Mother-in-law, and only 2 deaths, so hardly a group?
-
I have the marriage of Rosina and Thomas in Dec 1916 Merthyr T 11a 1240.Birth Geoarge P Jun 1917 Merthy T 11a 657. Died Jun 1920.
Birth Thomas M born Jun 1920 Merthyr T 11a 1851. Doed 1923.
Possible?? Birth James RV Cardiff 11a 509. mother Annetts. Died 1928.
Looking at births for Annetts in Merthyr T, Upton, Newent and Wheatenhurst seems to throw up a lot of infant deaths.
Mother in law's possible birth certificate is in the post at the moment, but presumed to be Joyce A Nash born Mar 1926 Ormskirk 8b 1453. She was adopted by the Price family in Llanbedr.

My Annetts family don't seem to be affected by anything more fatal to boys than to girls. Rosina May Annett's father was George born Reading about 1848/9. I believe he was the son of Richard Annetts and Harriet Cully baptised in Reading on 14 May 1848. Richard was the son of William Annetts, the half brother of my 2 x great grandfather John Annetts.
-
I think the Newent Annetts go back to William Annetts born Eldersfield Worcestershire and his wife Phoebe Coldrick. Probably not related to the Berkshire family.

E B Annetts could be Rosina's sister Edith Blanche. Rosina had a brother George. I know he was born in Scotland, but haven't got a middle name for him. George snr was in army and the family moved around a bit

That certainly makes sense, as a family recollection is that Reene (Irene Price as was) married and raised a family in Reading. So Rosina quite likely moved from Wales to be near her daughter.

As her birth was in Merthyr Tydfil 1923 I was going to ask if this was her death
Irene Price Age: 25 Birth abt 1923
Mar 1948 Merthyr Tydfil Volume: 8b Page: 370
but obviously not as she married and raised family in Reading

Just seen this post. Thomas Jones PRICE is my family - my great uncle Tom and great aunt Rose. Should love to be in touch if you are still following this post. I have drawn a blank on their daughter Irene, and an adopted daughter Joyce.

Hello Elizabeth welcome to Rootschat :D
Dave hasn't been active since November last year. If he is still receiving emails then he may well get back to this topic.
Having read it I was going to suggest that he obtained the will of Rosina to see if Irene is mentioned and whether it gives her married name.
Added: As Ladyhawk found:-
Rosina May Price of 19 Woodlands Rd Sonning Common Reading died 27 Nov 1977 Administration with Will Oxford 19 Jan 1978

Hello, Welcome to Rootschat. Your great aunt Rose was my half 3rd cousin once removed.
-
Well, that's a family relationship worth celebrating! Thanks for the message.
-
Thank you, Ladyhawk, for the welcome and suggestion about the will - great idea, I shall follow it up.
-
There's a marriage registration Crickhowell district Q1 1946 for Irene M Price and Leslie J Harris. Might be her.
-
Thanks so much. Yes, I thought that was likely, too.
-
Yes, the will of Rosina May Price confirms her daughter as Irene Maude Harris. Both living at 19 Woodlands Rd. Sonning Common in 1973. Rosina died on 27th Nov 1977.
