Great Grandfather
« on: Tuesday 03 November 15 21:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi I wonder if some one can help me :)
trying to find the death of my GGF
He was born Joseph Davies 1875 in Cwmavon Wales (parents Thomas & Martha)
He married a Mary Ellen Williams 04/10/1906 in Merthyr Tydfil
I have him living in Cardiff in 1938 (on my grandfathers marriage cert)
Struggling to find death of both Joseph and Mary
Thanks Sarah

Are you looking for deaths in Cardiff, and ignoring others in the rest of the country?

Did he have any other children, so that he may have died at their homes?

When was Mary Ellen born?  (Age from marriage certificate or 1911 census?)

A marriage certificate generally only shows the address of the bride & groom. Does it give an occupation for him

The only Dilwyn Davies that I can see born 1907 to 1909 is June quarter 1909 in Pontypridd (on free bmd) - is that the one you mean?
