If I could read Welsh there is a newspaper report dated 16th May 1942 where it looks like Llewelyn's wife was Elizabeth Sarah, it looks to be a death announcement for another son called Llewelyn.

Emlyn Bartley Davies appears in to have died in 1942 - killed in action in North Africa 10/12/1942. He was a flight sergeant and the plane on which he was a passenger was lost without trace between Egypt & Malta.
