For Marjorie, Elizabeth,Jill, Tom and all Carmarthenshire List members.This
helps to clear up a few questions we had about his marriage.The Times
Obituary mentioned he left a wife and daughter.Did the daughter Gwladys
marry Captain John Cemlyn-Jones who she became engaged to on the 20th
September 1917? He was not mentioned in the Obituary. Was she still single
or was she a widow? More questions!!! Best Regards John & Noela
