Kelly's Directory Portsmouth - Davies
« on: Tuesday 05 April 22 19:45 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I would be very grateful if anyone who has access to any of the Portsmouth Kelly's Directories between 1965 & 1970 could do a search for me please, for [deleted].
Thanks in advance,
J

Welcome to Rootschat

Was she a business owner?  When did Davies become Humphreys (or vice versa)

Thanks for your reply. I don't think she was a business owner. She married a Davies and they are believed to have divorced sometime in the mid to late 1960s. Her husband wasn't living with her in Portsmouth. As far as I know she was living in Portsmouth in 1967.

The marriage was 1961 - is this person still alive?  I think she was born 1942.  Rootschat has a strict no living persons policy

Yes that's correct, 1961. I don't know if she is still alive. We suspect not as none of the family have been able to contact her.

Sorry - as she was only born in 1942 we cannot post any details of possible living persons to protect their privacy.  You need to remove her name from your post.  Access your opening post & click on the MODIFY icon

You may want to use freebmd to check if she remarried.  You can also use www.192.com to check for Electoral Register entries

I've just removed the name. I've tried freeBMD, 192 and numerous other sites and resources, all to no avail. I'll keep looking. Thank you for your help.

I can’t be 100% sure of this but they married in Shrewsbury & there is a birth in the same quarter as the marriage

There were no other Davies/Humphreys marriages in Shrewsbury pre 1961

The 1961 Shrewsbury marriage is the correct one, and they had a family. Her ex husband has since passed. It feels like she disappeared into thin air. We've searched extensively in the UK, and have even searched records in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, United States and Canada.
