Hi all, after a long period of not looking at my family tree.
I am a bit lost with my grandaunt (my Grandfather's sister).

This is the information I already have:  In 1901 census,

John Davies would be the father, he was born in Black Parish, Pembs (42 in 1901)
Ann Davies (his wife) no idea of the maiden name! (45 in 1901)
David Hughes Davies - Son (12 in 1901) place of birth Llangeler. (My grandfather)
Margaret A Davies (Daughter) (7 in 1901) place of birth Llangeler.

I cannot find what's happened to Margaret after this census (nor the parents).  I would like to trace her as I would be interested to see if she stayed in the area. My father has never mentioned her name (he was aware that his father had a sister) but he never spoke about her or even knew her name.

Any light or information would be most gratefully received.
Many thanks
A confused user!!

John Thomas has been found.. looks like the right one - didn't realise Rachel and David had a son called Lewis.
Thanks all of you for your help.

it is my family.. just I thought that Mary was the mother of my great-grandmother Mary. Looks like now it might be Rachel, and really been scratching my head with Mary.

I have found some in the 1911 census, I have found my grandmother which was also called Mary, but cannot find if John Thomas that died in 1931 would have been her cousin I think. So far I think only Mary had children from the 5/6 kids they had. Ordered a few death certificates, and none of the deaths have been witnessed by wives/husbands but by brother or uncle William (which is annoying!!!!) I did order John Thomas's death certificate in 1931 as he had died young it would have been one of his parents that witnessed the death but again it was his uncle William!

Hi all,
         I have reached a point, and been searching since November 2012, but still in the same situation.
I discovered in January, that I've been barking up the wrong tree; I think I've discovered that my great great great grandfather remarried between 1881 and 1901. His wife in the 1881 census was Rachel, and in 1901 his wife was Mary. Problem is that I cannot find any information about Mary at all. I've been down to the grave in Ferryside and even taken a photo of the grave, but cannot find even the death certificate whilst I have her death day, month and year. So if anyone could help it would be fantastic. Also, like suggested in a previous thread (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,623075.0.html) I contacted Carmarthenshire registry office for information about John Thomas. As I don't have much information i.e father's name and mother name they couldn't help, and that's the information I would like from his birth certificate. All I can gather from the gravestone (family gravestone) that John Thomas was a grandchild of the above (Mary Thomas) But what I can't understand on the grave is that Mary Thomas died in 1916 83 years of age and her husband died in 1943 aged 89 as from the 1901 census at Roberts Rest Farm St Ishmael there is only 6 years between them. I have uploaded the grave picture. If anyone can please help! Thanks very much.

Thanks very much for your help!
It was a shock to discover that my Grand-mother committed suicide. My father never told me, and has never spoken about it. All he's ever said that she died young!!!
