Have you got her exact date of birth?
Thanks

28 Mar 1896 at 7 Newland Street, Barry, Glamorgan, Wales.

Father Richard Meyrick / Mother Selina Betsy Nock.

Births Jun 1896 (>99%)
Meyrick Matilda Elizabeth Cardiff 11a 454

Yes - thats the one. I have the certificate and dates / parents / address from that. cheers

tricky isn't it

If this is Francis's death, he does not use her surname:
Francis Cecil J Edwards
Birth Date: Jan 1907
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1976
Age at Death: 69
Registration district: Newport
Inferred County: Gwent
Volume: 28
Page: 0187
Get the certificate for possible useful information?

Do you know what happened to Francis Watt/Edwards, and did they travel?

Ozi

Edit: Aha, looks like Patchem's found it.

yep - done that and no obvious or subtle hint that this is same person she married. most likely is given the name / location but nothing extra connected with Matilda. I suspect upon her death he reverted to original.

I do have their 1936 marriage certificate ...It says his name as "Francis James Cecil Watt...otherwise Francis James Cecil Edwards" .."the divorced husband of Thora Edwards formerly Smith ".

Hence why I presume to look for Matilda under Watt.

Yes ozi...

Matilda travel with Francis Watt on 20 Mar 1936 Embark to Gibraltar or Port Said - living at time at The Kyles, St Michaels Road, Llandaff.

Locate travels upto 1937. Note the ship list says Francis WATT.

The address in Cardiff...is key stone with links back to previous husband thus confirms the right Matilda and Francis.

And she comes home and doesn't disappear overseas?

Ozi

Well its 1937 so records I can see are not great. She does come home but I can't then ever place her.

I gather the last husband might have been a bit of a rogue..hence taking her name. No facts just rumours. But surely a death of someone between 1937 and upwards simply can't just vanish.

ho hum - what an amazing find that would be .

someone with the board jokdy has a Private family tree on ancestry that has Matilda Elizabeth in it?


If this is not you, have you been in contact with that person.




sylvia

what does "with the board jokdy" mean ?

not my tree its not private on ancestry

It is a private tree on ancestry - MacDonald/Kelly Family Tree , user name jokdy. If you belong to ancestry you can contact them through ancestry.

Ahh !

Apols. Not savvy with the jargon.

Pinged off a message. They not been active much of late and don't seem to hold much but worth a try.

Still going through world wide deaths. Nothing. This is hardly like am trying to hit 13th C...... somebody must be able to give some real advice????????????????

Which of her children are you descended from, do you know any other descendants who might have clues? Was the son of Guy Yahah registered as Yahah but married as Meyrick, in which case there are probably living relatives.
? There are several possible marriages for the first daughter ? Gladys but have not found anything for the Nogi daughter.
Any Watt or Edwards children who might know something?

Not seeing children born the years you say.

I see the following:

1916 Basilio
1918/1919 Nagi
1920 Nagi/Yahah

The son died the same year:

Births Jun 1920
Nagi/Yahah David G Meyrick Cardiff 11a 1143

Deaths Dec 1920
NAGI/Yahah David G 0 Whitechapel 1c 265

The only instances of the the surname Yahah on Ancestry are for David.
