Hi List
I am hoping that someone would be able to do me a great favour.
I live in Australia which makes it a little difficult to check the local
papers in Wales for an obituary from 1953.
My cousin is the granddaughter of John Henry WILLIAMS.
He was born in Nantyglo in 1886 and died on the 6th of March 1953, at St
Woolos Hospital in Monmouthshire. He married twice and had 10 children.
During WWI he was the most decorated Welsh soldier rising to the rank of
CSM.
Shirley is the daughter of Bertha his youngest child.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could find his obituary for me, I
would love to be able to fill in the names of his other children. I know the
eldest was Doris who was born in 1909 & died in 1910 and the youngest was
Bertha born in 1926.
I'm a member of Ancestry.co.uk, and the BDM's don't help much as both John
Henry WILLIAMS married a Gertrude WILLIAMS, which makes finding children
much more complicated without knowing their christian names.
I know he married Gertrude in 1908 and she died in March 1927. He married
Morfyyd REES in 1937, at the time i believe Morfyyd was 49 so i don't
believe they had any children.
If someone could look this up for me I would be eternally grateful
Thanks heaps
