Maybe a long shot

[iolaus]

but if anyone can solve a friend's family puzzle (or give suggestions) it's going to be you guys

Her father Vincent Everson (15/4/1937-14/10/2004) was brought up by his aunt Doris (1904-2001) in Cardiff Bay - Doris was his maternal aunt

His mother was Violet - father unknown on his birth certificate.  From what my friend was told his father's name was Buzzahock (spelling unsure she's only heard it said) and he had a shop in Aberbargoed - he MAY have been Polish

I think I have found Violet's birth as Pansy Violet Everson in 1906  - no trace of a death, friend assumes she had died and thats why her sister brought him up

Any ideas of where to go from here?  Any help appreciated

Is this your friend’s family in 1911? I am wondering if Dorset and Vilet are Doris and Violet?

If so, the 1939 indexes show a Violet Everson in Bedwas and Machen.

George F C Young and Violet Everson

Any idea what the shop was?  Would he have been living above it?  Perhaps it could be traced in business directories for the relevant period and maybe get the name of the person who ran it.

I have looked on the University of Leicester Special Collections site http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/ in the South Wales & Monmouthshire directory 1907 and the Cardiff Newport & District Trades directory 1914, but can't find a matchable name in Aberbargoed.

George F C Young and Violet Everson

In case relevant, this man is George Fred Campbell Young b Cardiff 27 Mar 1907, died 1977 S. Glamorgan.

One possible death for Violet Young bc 1906 is Dec qtr 1954 Cardiff, aged 48.

It’s possible that Vincent was still with his mother in 1939 - you might consider supplying evidence of death to get him unredacted in the 1939 Register.
