GO TO LAST POST!! - Updated 13 September 2015

Firstly, sorry if I have posted this - or similar - before. Not easy to check!!

Anyway, Charles David is my grandfather's youngest/older sibling if that makes sense :-)

i.e my grandfather was the "baby" and Charles David was the next. I have a marriage for Charles David

This is DEFINITELY him as in the image his mother - my great grandmother is "cited"

He is shown as married....and I thin that this is her death

Name: Edith Llewellyn
Birth Date: abt 1876
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1959
Age at Death: 83
Registration district: Caerleon
Inferred County: Monmouthshire
Volume: 8c
Page: 115

But where was she in 1911?

I have tried seaching St Cadoc's a hospital in Caerleon for the "insane" to no avail..... :-S

Is this her birth ?


Births Jun 1878
MATHIAS Mabel Edith - Bedwelty 11a 100


rather than this one


Births Dec 1877
MATHIAS Edith Mabel - Newport M 11a 208

Sorry - called away. I believe it is the Newport one - will know for sure when the certificate comes (hope it is because all the work I have done on her family is for the Newport one :-)

The enumerator has put his mother Mrs M Llewellyn has head of the household on his summary page, so it looks like she is missing from the census as well - wonder if they were away somewhere together?

this looks like his mother in 1911 -

Also on the census for him - and crossed out is one child born and one child died. Difficult to pin down because it's before mmn was added to index. Which is why I wondered if she might be in a hospital somewhere

well spotted Choccy!

The mother?

No Barbara - different Maria. My Maria was born in Trowbridge and is the one in the Commercial Street census - Maria Wright was her daughter.

I have everything going about all of the children and their families except the missing Mabel Edith/Edith Mabel.

Well, that blows that theory out of the water. Is this Charles's death (can't see another birth for a Charles D 1877-80)

Charles D Llewellyn
Birth Date: abt 1879
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1926
Age at Death: 47
Registration district: Bridgwater
Inferred County: Somerset
Volume: 5c
Page: 382

From probate - Charles David Llewellyn of 45 Wellington Road, Bridgewater, died 2/5/1926, administration (with will) granted to Eva Bevan, spinster. £174 10s 5d.

I am not convinced it is his death but I have sent for certificate along with the marriage certificate - though whether it will have any pointers to it being him I don't know.

But I can't find another death that fits. Curiously, my cousin who is in her 80's remembers her great aunts Maria (as in the census) and Jane who dies in the 50's/60's and knew of great uncle William but she knew nothing at all of the existence of a brother called Charles David. Which suggests to me that (a) he died young and (b) maybe "under a cloud". Perhaps he ran off with Eva Bevan!

Jude

I'm not convinced about the death either, but can't see a birth which would go with it (England/Wales). I wonder if the death you have for Edith is correct? They may have split up and she could have re-married - maybe by 1911 she was living with someone else under their name, which is why we can't find her.

I don't know about the death for Edith - it is a complete guess. And of course it is such a common name.

That's a good angle to try though

Jude

The 1901 census has an Eva Edmonds, barmaid born Newport but I can't see a birth for her. There is an Eva Bevan born Monmouth in 1880 though.

I can't find a marriage for this pair in 1899

Oh look she lives with Charles and Edith!!!!

This is probably Eva's birth

Births Dec 1882 (>99%)
Edmunds Eva Newport M 11a 182

The connections continue..

in 1891 Eva is living in Capel Street Newport across the road from my grandmother Isabella Irvine who married Lewis Llewellyn who was living round the corner with his brother Charles David :-)

So Charles probably knew Eva Edmonds before he met Edith .....so only thing to prove is that Eva Edmonds and Eva Bevan are one and same and that it is indeed Charles' death in Bridgwater!!

It's a bit of a leap though! Not sure if Eva Bevan would have to prove her identity in order to prove the will. Thinking about it, you can get a search done for £6, which includes a copy of the will - it may give more information than the death certificate would.

Just in case you want to try, probate was granted 18/6/1926 London, the form & address for applications can be found here:

Scroll down until you find the postal search address and link to the form.

don't think the 'Spittle' connection is right - here they are in 1901
