Good Evening everyone,

I have been racking my brains for months trying to find out when Charles Davies (my Great Grandfather) died.  I have his DOB and GRO ref for this also his marriage record and certificate but for love nor money find out when he died. 

Charles Davies Born 1906 in Bettws Montgomeryshire
Married Glady May Gwilt 6/2/1926 in Llanmerewig

according to my Taid (Gordon David Davies 1934-2019) Charles's Son, Charles left his wife but would not give her a divorce due to being a Catholic and not believing in divorce.  He also mentioned that he may have gone to Canada or America.  According to the 1939 Register Gladys was living with another man and wrote Gordon's last name as Jones to match the new man in her life.  Can anyone please advise me on how i can find out what happened to Charles please.

There are several trees on Ancestry. Some have her marrying David Davies and some Charles, but all have her parents as Charles Gwilt and Beatrice Hughes.

One has her husband as Charles David Davies and a photograph of Gladys.

It also has photographs of her children.

Is there by chance a link to that tree? As I have a photo of Gladys and her children.

Thanks

Your father’s birth cert would have his father’s name on it.

On his marriage cert it says David Davies and on his mother’s Death certificate. No mother or father on my Taid’s birth as I think it’s the short version

Sure she didn’t marry a Charles?

Mar 1926 Forden 11b 217
DAVIES Charles
GWILT Gladys M

My Taid always said his dad was David Davies. I know after they split Gladys was with a man named David Jones as they are on the 1939 census

See my edit above

sorry I didn't see your edit.  from the 1939 Census Llanidloes does seem to be the parish they were in during that time.  I will look for cemeteries there. thanks
