Hello, I've neglected my Welsh research for too long! I am wondering if
anyone can help me track down a possible living relative, my second cousin
Clive DAVIES who was born in 1949 in Merthyr Tydfil to Trevor Raymond
DAVIES and Edna RIRIE.
I'm desperate to break down a brick wall so I'm trying a different and very
roundabout path. My Great Grandfather was James RIRIE who married Mary Ann
GREEN in India, she died in 1899 after having 8 children, and in 1908 his
second marriage was to Elizabeth EVANS (previous married name MORRIS) in
Merthyr Tydfil. They had two children. Edna's father John Thomas RIRIE and
May RIRIE.
I'm trying to pin down John GREEN, Mary Ann's father, and hoping (probably
clutching at straws) that living descendants of James RIRIE, may be able
to help in some way. I haven't tried to follow up on the second marriage
before. And have come to a halt with the first marriage, my grandmother
(who grew up in Merthyr with her stepmother) is gone, and none of my other
second cousins have progressed any further than I have!
Thanks, Chris (Australia)
