OK......
I am looking for the death of Hannah DAVIES before 1911 census, when her husband Alfred DAVIES is shown as a widower.
His youngest son in 1911 is Albert aged 4, so Hannah must have died since his birth and be of child-bearing age( ish)

In 1911 Alfred and his sons lived at 9 Chapel Terrace Pontycymmer, ...which comes under Bridgend, Glamorgan area.

I would expect Hannah's death to be in Bridgend registration district, as she lived up the valleys and it wasn't easy to travel east or west.

I'm not sure where Hannah was born, - she changed her mind at each census, but she was shown to be 21 when she married as Hannah PARRY in Bridgend R.O. in May 1886.
Her father was supposedly Edgar PARRY (deceased) , a carpenter.
Alfred was 23....I know all about him and can track him back, b. in Madley, Herefordshire in 1862.

So....
Hannah PARRY hasn't been found with a father Edgar, ( did she invent him, although one of her sons later had that name)
I can't find a suitable father ,Edgar in any census.

She MAY be a servant in Bridgend in 1881 census

1883, ..married Alfred DAVIES

1891 4 Mountpleasant, Bettws, Glamorgan........married

Help to give her a beginning and end would be great.

Thank you.

Hi

I couldn't offer much but if you are that bored and if you are willing and able to do 1911 look-ups I could offer a couple. Have asked for quite a few already so have held these two back.

Jeanie

Edit: See you've really got something to get your teeth into so do not worry about mine. I'll check in later.

She can't play hopscotch but she could be ironing sitting down - that would alleviate her boredom!! We could all send our ironing to her...:))
