Find Ancestors

Oooh thankyou so much. I shal have to check that site now, I dont know many to be honest. I found ancestry quite confusing at times, though leaves popping up out of nowhere and most of the time there was no connection what so ever. Im gonna write this down quick before I forget :)

As even her birth reg quarter tallies with her date of birth on death ref.

Births Dec 1899
Nunian Elizabeth Jane Carmarthen 11a 1046

If the birthdate on the grave is 10 years out and The name Carradine not known to you ...how do you know it's the right grave ?

Because her brother and parents are correct on there, it even says about the brother being killed in the war, location right aswell. The address is also right. I cant imagine who else this Elizabeth is though, unless they had another daughter 10 yrs later and named her Elizabeth also, and then it was she who married this carradine. It really is annoying me now! I'll have to go on "Who do you think you are?" and let them do it for me. Trouble is as far as I'm aware I'm not famous :]

I might have another spanner to throw into the works.
Births in Llanelly
Elizabeth Jane Nunian O/N/D 1899 11a 1046.

Elizabeth Jane Francis O/N/D 1899 11a 986,now did this Elizabeth Jane francis marry or if she didn't then the death in 1972 could be hers!!!!!!

There was a Elizabeth Jane Francis married in Llanelly 1922 to Thomas Thomas wether it is the same E.J francis i don't know.

Emily.
Can you give all the details on the gravestone please?
Who is your direct ancestor?
What was your starting point to get back to Margaret and John Nunian?
And does it say what relative this Elizabeth Carradine is to John and Margaret on the headstone?
Also is the headstone in Llanelli?If so which church/chapel.
I live in Carmarthenshire..

Edit.
Thanks Maryb..:)
This is going to keep me awake tonight now trying to work it out..!

Gravestone is in Llanelli yes, at Box cemetary (no church or chapel there dont think) It reads:

William son of John and Margaret Nunian
Pte Civil services Rifles
Fell in action Bourlone wood, Cambrai, France.
Nov 27th 1917 aged 19yrs

also of the above named

John Nunian
Died Aug 20 1929 age 53

also wife of above

Margaret Nunian
Died Feb 24th 1963 age 88yrs

also Elizabeth Carradine
Born Nov 9th 1889
Died March 16 1972

Elizabeth would have been my Great-Grandmothers cousin. John + Margaret being her aunt and uncle.

To be honest, I shall have to go and check it myself, a friend wrote it down for me, maybe missed something out.

Oh my gosh how do you find out about the probate? Thats so interesting to know. Is it because I'm only on standard? You've all bn so helpful though. Its turning into a proper little mystery know, my heads spinning!

Just a thought .... If you can trace where Brinley Francis was buried then perhaps it might be worth checking to see if Elizabeth is buried with him (not always, but very often wife is buried with husband). If she is, then Elizabeth Carradine is someone else ....

John Nunian married Margaret Jones.

Marriages Jun 1898
Jones Margaret Llanelly 11a 1282
Nunian John Llanelly 11a 1282

So was that Elizabeth Jones that married Henry Gibbs Carradine in 1913 Margaret Jones niece?and John Nunians niece by marriage therefore.
So she would have been born Jones and not Nunian.

Henry Gibbs Carradines death?

Probate and Wills stuff is on Ancestry.
Dont pay more than standard on here,this site do not have any records themselves,they just direct you to a site that does,usually Find my Past.
If you are going to pay a sub anywhere make it Ancestry or FMP.
Few of us here use GR for records.

Incidently there are records on Ancestry (military) for William Nunian, 13 images just going to have a look now >>>

born llanelly June 19 1898

Emziee if you want those images PM me your email and I will copy and attach

In next of kin has 'full blood sibling' Elizabeth Jane aged 24 when sister Muriel was 16

all details matching the 1911 posted by FannybyGaslight

Interesting that Elizabeth Carradine on grave insccription doesn't say middled name Jane,or does it.

When it says Elizabeth Jane full blood next of kin age 24,was that in Nov 1917 meaning that Elizabeth born 1893??

Maryb

Just been looking through war records for William Nunian,on 2 occassions it says father John Nunian of Rock House Capel Road Llanelly??
Whats that about as on others it says 31 Swansea rd,that is also his address at time of death for John.

Also John and margaret had 2 children that died one David James Nunian I prossume who was 5 months on 1901 census died Sept 1901 the other one ??
so would they not be in same grave.
All irrelavant i know but thought I would post it anyway.

Maryb

Hi Mary, I think the discrepancies are down just to the differing dates that the various images refer to for eg when William was called up he was 17 and some months, and further on, the page has him as 18 and 8 months I think it was ( not looking at images at the moment) , the ages for Muriel and Elizabeth are after his death when pension papers came into it , so do tally with the ages on that 1911 i believe,
