Hi, I need to call upon the services and expertise of my friends on RootsChat yet again!
My mother (maiden name Margaret Enid Jones) lived in Caerwys in 1931 where her father (Isaac Alun Jones) was a grocer.
She also got married to her first husband 17 June 1931 at The Church of St Michael.
Does anyone have any further information on where my Taids shop was or the address at where they lived in Caerwys? Does anybody have any old photos of the area at about 1931?
Just for information, mum was born at The Berwyn Stores, Llangollen 23 September 1910.
Thanks,
John

Are you getting a bit confused with the nameplace here?I have a hunch with you saying that she was born in Llangollen that the place you may be referring to is in fact Corwen?Both places were at one time in the old county of Denbighshire.

Looking up the 1931 marriage the place in fact should be Caerwys.

(Isaac Alun Jones)
Do you mean Isaac Alan Jones born 1882 Corwen Merionethshire?
Isaac Alan Jones December qtr 1882 Corwen 11b 340
Living in Llangollen Merionethshire in 1911 as Alun Jones. The address on your mothers birth cert would suggest that was the grocers shop
If your grandparents were still alive in 1939 - have you looked for them on the 1939 register
-
Sorry, yes its a typo. It should read Caerwys.
Taid (Isaac Alun Jones) was born in Corwen in 1882 but moved to LLangollen where he managed a shop in the early 1900s called The Berwyn Stores.
He must have moved to Caerwys at about 1920ish as my mothers marriage certificate (1931) has her address as a ????? Stores Caerwys. But that's where the trail dries up?
-
Can you post a snapshot of address, when your mother married?
It may help track down, if we can view address on marriage cert

What year did your grandfather die? I suspect his death may have been registered as Alun - not Isaac
-
Isaac A looks to have died on The Wirral Cheshire in 1964.

Got it - thanks. I used 1882 not 1883 for his birthyear - Duh!!
-
It also helps if you don't get confused with another post - I was looking under Davies not Jones so double Duh!!!
-
That's correct.
Taid (Isaac Alun Jones) died on the Wirral 1964.

Hi,
I've just found out my my Taid (1931) was grocer at at shop in Caerwys, called Pioneer Stores.
Apparently the building is still there but is now known as Pioneer Cottage.
Does anyone have any information or photos of this?

A bit late but you can see Pioneer Cottage here - I used to walk past it all the time! I think its still owned by the Gallagers of Caerwys (well known family who I'm sure wouldn't mind if you contacted them!) The property directly opposite that house was a newsagents until a few years back - when the store moved around the corner - Will may know more about the old property (http://willsofcaerwys.co.uk/)

You could get in touch with Caerwys Town Council who may have someone with older pics I know theres a few who have researched a lot of history of the town! http://www.caerwys-town.com/
