Hello!

Probably staring at me in plain sight, but I can’t find this family in 1861 census. I’ve got father Owen as a widower, with John and Ellin in 1871 in Mill Street, Llanllechid. I believe I also have son Owen’s burial record, address Mill Street, Llanllechid in 1862. But can’t find Owen Hughes 1811 anywhere in 1861 census. 

1851 Llanllechid
Owen Hughes 39 head Quarryman b Llandwrog
Margaret Hughes 39 wife b Llanllyfni
Owen son 14
Margaret dau 13
William son 12
Ellin dau 11
Catherine dau 10
John son 8
Mary dau 4

If anyone can access parish records for possible marriage of Owen and Margaret that would be a wonderful bonus! Their oldest children were born in Llanllyfni in c1836-39.

Thank you for any help. 😊

Welsh paternal gt grandfather c1866 brick wall for years. Eventually succumbed to an Ancestry DNA test.

Results revealed 3 x 2nd-3rd cousin connections. Lowest one has no info on tree, the other two link to grandchildren of a common ancestor. Four 5th - 8th cousins are also linked to same two grandchildren.  Hardly any other connections to this side though.  No one has answered my friendly messages yet!

I have had this family in my Ancestry shoebox since 2010! Names, dates, locations and occupations are a fit, but my gt grandfather is nowhere to be found.
How should I proceed? The common ancestor had multiple siblings, do I explore them? My gt grandfather would have fitted in perfectly as the oldest son of 7 children in this family, but he is no where to be found until much later.

Hope this makes sense. I know nothing of DNA, learning as I go along. Do you need more specific info to advise?

Thank you

Bronwen 😊

Trying to find the location of the Red Lion Hotel in this photograph. Next to the hotel is 'Fabre's Stores'. Most of the Fabres in the UK in 20th century lived in either the North East or London.

Arthur Fabre, born Quebec, 1873 (died 1944) lived in Coatham, with his wife and family. The 1911 census describes him as a business owner (draper and outfitter). He did have a business at 55 Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough listed in local directories.

I wonder if he had another business elsewhere in the area listed in the directories, which might lead me to the whereabouts of the photo. There was a Red Lion Hotel in Redcar, but looking at other old photographs, I don't think this is the same premises.

Any insights much appreciated as this puzzle is niggling me!

Posting on behalf of a friend who wants to find out about the burial details and any additional information about June Fox, born 17/11/1928 London, emigrated to US 1954-56, believed deceased in US in 2013.

My friend found a June Fox 17/11/1928 in Las Vegas on a 1979 Naturalisation record, also stating a name change to McCafferty. My friend has a copy of June's father's will and June is named as McCafferty there too.   

My friend found a 2013 death record for June Fox (not June McCafferty) date of birth 17/11/1928, but in District of Columbia.

I wonder if anyone can shed any further light on this lady?

Thank you very much in advance.

My grandfather, born 1892 lived in Blaenau  Ffestiniog. I have found his Medal Roll entry, but it appears his records were amongst those lost in WW2. Is there any way of finding anything further about his service, please? The only other information  I have are a couple of RAMC group photographs ( no details, but family anecdotal evidence was that he was on one of these photographs). The other snippet I have is  that his mother died in March 1919 and in her obituary it stated that she had not seen her son before she died as he was still serving in France. Thanks for any advice.
