DAVIES - found him !!
« on: Monday 31 January 11 19:34 GMT (UK) »
I'd just like to say THANK YOU to all the suggestions for help in tracing my DAVIES.

While I haven't found any living relatives yet (I know they are out there waiting to be found) I have found the burial for Florence and William - and it wasn't where I thought !!

As I had her DC, and her last known address, I called the Cemeteries division, and luckily, they were able to locate the grave number, and who was buried there - they had a Daughter which I knew nothing about too, snd she died aged 2 !

They are buried in Aberfan - the area of the cemetery where all the children are buried after the Aberfan disaster.  That definately made me shiver !!

William died in 1944 - so here's another DC to apply for !!

YEAY!!  .. and thank you once again.

That's EXACTLY the same position I was in with Florence's Husband, William.  There are a LOT of William Davies's in Merthyr Tydfil!  I took pot luck with the DC (that was registered in Pontypridd) and I sort of worked backwards.
