Shropshire / Unknown Relative in Whitchurch Road Cemetery, Wem.
« on: Saturday 08 February 20 22:38 GMT (UK) »
I've been searching for a missing relative for a few years now, using DNA and visiting graveyards etc. but the caretaker there doesn't have a list and can only help if we have a name to go off.
We don't know who my maternal grandmother's father was. All we know is that he was buried in Whitchurch Road cemetery in Wem. He would have been born between 1864-1918 and died between August 1934 and 1975.
I think my great grandmother Annie Elizabeth Davies (b. 1902, Chirk) may have been his housekeeper and he could have been a farmer. He had children with another woman around the same time and chose to live with her instead from what I understand. Annie Elizabeth had my grandmother in a workhouse and married, and my grandmother knew who her father was but never told anyone.
If anyone knows absolutely anything on this, no matter how small, it'd be a great help. If you have a male relative that meets this description buried in Wem cemetery please reach out!
