Try Wrexham Library as some held newspapers, but from that date it may not even be digital. I am in Carmarthenshire with the library holding local newspapers, but not all libraries held them.

I've been told that the accident was probably reported by the local paper of where the accident took place and not by the Wrexham local paper (where they were taken to).

So, this would've been somewhere along the A5 probably, when they came off the ferry at Holyhead and started driving.

The car went off an edge and 12' down into a stream. Any idea which section of the road this might've been?!  ???

If death occurred at the scene of the accident,  would it not state where it happened on the death certificate?
Just a thought.

I've been doing some detailed searches but have not found anything on the inquest or the accident so far . I'll keep looking.

They would be on Freebmd registered Wrexham but without a name even a search in the papers would be difficult.
