I am trying to find out the year and, hopefully, date of the death of my great grandaunt Mary Jones (nee Edwards).  She was born on 21st January 1850 at Garrag Wylan, Bodedern, Anglesey.  She married Hugh Jones in 1871.  There are several possible death dates, 1912, 1914, 1921 and two in December 1925, that I have discovered.  I would like to try and narrow down the year before sending for the death certificate.

Any help, however small, will be so gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks,
 

My husband's great-grandfather James Griffiths died on 4th April 1896 at 4 Overt Terrace, Cwmfelin, Llangwnwyd Middle.  His death certificate shows in the informant column that "Certificate received from Hywel Cuthbertson, Coroner for the Western Division of Glamorganshire.  Inquest held on 8th April 1896".  I have contact the appropriate records office but they do not have the details, and suggest a newspaper article is my best bet.  I believe the inquest might have been reported in any of the following newspapers.  Glamorgan Gazette, Western Mail, South Wales Echo, probably on microfilm in a reference library.  Can anyone help, please?  We don't know why there would have been an inquest, other than he died of Syncope, which I believe means that he fell down in a faint and apparently didn't get up again.  Why would this necessitate an inquest? Many thanks.  Rosie Griffiths

Owen Henry Edwards born 17th October 1873 at Bloomsbury, Timperley Lane, Altrincham was the brother of my maternal grandfather, Hugh Edwards, who was born 10th January 1879 at 51 Oakfield Street, Altrincham.  Owen and Hugh are family names that have been used for generations (since 1688 so far as I have traced).  Owen Henry Edwards died on 20th November 1932 at 1 Albion Place, Salford.  His occupation was a Funeral Director but he and his wife Elsie Sarah (?) were in partnership with his sister Gertrude's husband John Bye as Furriers amongst other things.  It would appear that Owen Henry married more than once, as there is the child called Ada Ashton Edwards (Ashton was his mother's maiden surname) born 17th May 1902, purportedly by Wilhelmina Gerrard, who I cannot trace.  There are two other children, Michael Edwards and Myfanwy Edwards, purportedly from his marriage to Elsie Sarah (surname unknown).  My mother used to play with her cousins Myfanwy and Michael at Llanfachraeth, Anglesey, so perhaps we are looking at a second marriage in Wales.  Gertrude was John Bye's second wife and they lived in Anglesey.  I am stuck, and all help most gratefully appreciated.
