Hi. I am seeking help! I am trying to find my paternal grandmother who left Llanidloes approx !914 or soon after.She was born Sarah Ann Roberts in 1884 in the LLanidloes area of Montgomeryshire. Married my grandfather David Lloyd Owen in 1905 who died approx 1914 (when my father was 3yrs old.)She then left to find work in South Wales, I believe in the Merthyr area.leaving my father to be brought up by his aunt I also believe she remarried then the family lost touch with her. but I don't know her second married name. Hence having difficulty in tracing her.
I would love to hear from anyone who might be able to help me trace her, Best Regards Margaret

Thankyou Steph.

I really appreciate your help, I don't know where or when my grandfather died, so it could have been later than I have thought.I was only going on what I've heard over the years Now you have given me fresh food for thought, and maybe this is why I couldn't find his death either. I now have more to work on.

Many Thanks. Best Regards. Margaret
