"Y Coed" (The Wood), Bishops Wood Road, Prestatyn was the family home from 1935 (?) until 1969/ 1970 when my grandmother moved into Prestatyn town, Dawson Crescent, Bryn Rosen where she lived until her death in July 1984. Previously the family lived in Newmarket with my Great Grandmother, Parry, opposite the Black Boy Inn; now demolished

I think it was called the Prestatyn and Rhyl Journnal in the 1940's before the two towns merged in 1973 under local government reorganisation. My grandfather's full name was Thomas Edward Hughes, born I believe in Meliden (St Asaph district registration) about 1892 - died spring 1949. Married Edith Margaret Parry in 1919/20 (?). She was born in Newmarket (St Asaph district) 03/08/1903. He was awarded the MM (Military Medal sometime in 1914/ 1915 serving in France. Later served in Palestine. Member of the Flintshire and Denbeighshire Yeomanry. I have lost the copy of the newspaper report of his death/ obituary and an trying to recover the details.
