Hi, I am looking for my grandmother Sarah Ellen Davies and her relatives. I now know she was born in Conway North Wales.between January & March 1902. She died on 1st June 1958 at 56 years of age. She married Albert Edward Evans in 1926 and they had 4 children. My mum Margaret Sarah, Albert Edward, Sydney & Dennis. I would really love some help on this one as Davies & Evans are such common names that it is hard on your own. They lived in Abergavenny South Wales.
Regards
Pauline

Davies Sarah E Evans Conway 11b 842
Evans Albert E Davies Conway 11b

The certificate should give you their parents names

Was Albert from Abergavenny?

Hi Iancashire
Ann
Yes he was.

Pauline

Are you looking for any info on Albert? My father came from Aber & I have some memorial inscription fiches for St Mary's & some surrounding villages.

Yes I am. He was my grandad and he lived in Abergavenny. I was born there too. Pop was the window cleaner there.I have recently found out his parents lived in Aber too but married in Manchester. Unfortunatly I still don't know their names. I have ordered Pops marriage certificate so then I will know. Pop was also a lay preacher and we all belonged to the Methodist in the early years then the Salvation Army.

Hi, I have just found out that my grandad Albert was born in Bargoed. Sarah Ellen also had 2 or 3 brothers. All I know is William and John Davies from Llandudno.

Hi, I am still looking for Sarah Ellen's family in Llandudno North Wales. Her parents names were William Evan Davies & Margaret Davies Nee Davies. Margaret's parents were John 1851c & Catherine Davies nee ??? 1845. John was deceased before the marriage and after they lived with Margarets mother & siblings. At the time of my grandmothers birth they were living in 18 Madoc Street Llandudno. She had two brothers, William & John and I have since learnt that she had a sister Kitty. William & Margaret married on 13th October 1900. William Evan was a postman, his father Evan Davies was a shoemaker & John Davies a Cab Driver.

Thank you both. It does go beyond the imagination doesn't it. I have not sent off for the birth certificate as yet. Being in Australia it would take a few weeks to get it.
Thanks again

Hi, In the 1911 census you have found for me there is Hugh Jones 1883 & he appears to be married to Sarah Jones 1879. Can you find the marriage certificate for me. 1861 census has William Davies 63, Elizabeth 62, Evan Son 21, William 11, Elizabeth 23 Sarah Jones daughter 25, John Jones Son-in-law 25, Frederick Jones grandson 1 month & Sarah Jones granddaughter 1. Who is Sarah Jones 1879, mother?
Thanks
Pauline

there are 5 possible Hugh Jones /Sarah Davies marriages but this is the only one in Conway district

Marriages Mar 1902 (>99%)
Jones Hugh Owen B Conway 11b 672


you can find all these on the free site freebmd.org.uk

as she is described as daughter I would have though Sarah 1879 was the head of household's daughter ie Catherine Davies

Hi, Further to my requests I cannot find John Davies & Catherine ? marriage certificate. Catherine was born about 1845 & John was born about 1851. Their first child was born in 1879. They all came from St Asaph/Llandudno Wales. Is it possible to find a birth certificate for them both too? Being Davies in Wales makes it so hard without you.
Regards
Pauline

there are 3 John Davies marriages with a possible spouse of Catherine in 1878 in either Conway or St Asaph's district (see freebmd)

You really NEED the birth certificate of one of John & Catherine's children to be sure you have the right one otherwise you could end up going down the wrong line completely

just as a ref point

Thank you. I will try & find a birth certificate for margaret. She was my Great Grandmother.

there are actualy 2 birth regs for Conway district in 1880

Births Sep 1880 (>99%)
DAVIES Margaret Conway 11b 539 Scan available - click to view
Births Dec 1880 (>99%)
DAVIES Margaret Conway 11b 480 Scan available - click to view

however as Margaret was 10 months old at the beginning of April 1881 should would have been born approx June 1880 so the Sept qtr one is the most likely

alternatively you could use Sarah Jane

Births Sep 1878 (>99%)
Davies Sarah Jane Conway 11b 571

note - I would not use Catherine as a ref point as her name could have been spelt in a variety of ways and the GRO will only match like for like

Thank you. I have the marriage certificate for Margaret Davies, John & Catherine's daughter but not her birth certificate. John Davies was a cab driver and they lived for many years in 18 Madoc Street.
Pauline

I have only recently found out that Sarah Ellen did not have a sister Kitty. She was her sister-in-law. It seems she had a brother Peter who married Catherine (Kitty) and they had two daughters that I know of. They were Gwen & Beatrice.

Hi Christine, I am also curious what a Bathing Machine Proprietress is, so I have just looked it up. It is a Beach Hut that they could hire to change into there swimming costumes. In the 1890's they were on wheels.
Thanks
Pauline
