Hi Denise
Hope it is still sunny in Devon...its sunny here again today!!
Have you looked in the 1891 Llanelli index which you have access to with
membership (courtesy of Ray Morris)? Just asking as it will give an idea
then where they are not....the area to search then will just be outside the
area that has been indexed....
Do you know where this family were buried at all? Were they of the church
or non-conformists....
Did you have much luck in CRO?
speak soon Pauline

Subject: [Cmn-L] ELIZBETH DAVIES
As the list is so quiet can I ask a favour, please. I'm trying to
find the
whereabouts of the following family in 1891
Elizabeth Davies aged 53 (nee Williams but was married to Joseph Rogers
first
until his death)
Sarah Davies 17
Morgan Daniel Davies aged 13
Lizzie Ann 11
The father is David Davies , overman was born in 1828
In 1881 they were living at Penderi, Llanelli, in 1901 they had moved to
Paradise
in Llwynhendy but Elizabeth was the householder as David had died
as she is listed as a widow.
I visited Llanelli and Carmarthen at half term and tried to find them in
the 1891
census at Paradise or Penderi but had no luck . I think David had
probably died and they were living elsewhere. According to family tales
Elizabeth managed to buy Paradise and another house (unknown) for another
daughter so I'm hoping that I will be able to discover the date of David's
death -so I can find his will and therefore more information. How did she
have enough to buy two houses!
If you can help with their whereabouts in 1891 that would be a great help.
Best wishes
