Lookup request Llanelli - Gwendoline Davies & David John Davies
« on: Tuesday 05 November 13 18:44 GMT (UK) »
Lookup request in Llanelli please, for my paternal grandparents and great-grandparents:

If anybody knows anything about, or can look up anything in the Llanelli Library, or provide any links to websites etc regarding the following I'd be really grateful:

Gwendoline Davies (nee. Davies), dob approx 1907 - my paternal grandmother
Lived at Caroline Street, Llanelli in 1931
DECEASED (date not known)

John Davies - my great-grandfather (Gwendoline's father)
Worked as a 'Dock Labourer'
Lived at Caroline Street, Llanelli in 1931.

David John Davies, dob approx 1907 - my paternal grandfather
Worked as a 'Furnaceman's helper at the steel works'
Lived at Ann Street, Llanelli in 1931.
DECEASED (date not known)

David Davies - my great-grandfather (David John Davies' father)
Worked as a 'Railway Engine Driver'
Lived at Ann Street, Llanelli in 1931.

I can't seem to find any of these people in the 1911 census so I'd be really pleased if someone could find anything.  This info I've got already is all from my grandparents' marriage certificate.

Thank you :)

Hi

Do you know for certain that Gwendoline and David were actually born in Carmarthen and didn't just marry and live there after marriage

Who were the witnesses to their marriage?

Are any of their children still living who could provide any information
