Trying to find siblings of my grandfather - Alfred Enoch Thomas Davies
« on: Monday 10 December 18 20:09 GMT (UK) »
My grandfather on my father's side was Alfred Enoch Thomas Davies born Jun 25, 1907 (Newport, Monmouthshire), his parents were Evan Thomas Davies born October 1885 (born Merthyr Tydfil) and Annie Maria Powell born October 1886 (not sure where she was born in Wales).  They had 5 children, I only know three names as Annie took two of the children and left Evan with 3 boys (Alfred, Ronald - born January 1911, and Thomas - born Sept 1919) we think the two missing are in between Ronald & Thomas, as she left baby Thomas with his father.  Any help finding them would be so appreciated.

Davies    Thomas I    Powell    Bedwellty    11a   235     

there are an awful lot of Davies/Powell Bedwelty births so am thinking this Thomas is unlikely to be yours.
Do you have your Thomas' birth certificate. Are you confident of the September 1919 birth date?
