Theres a possible marriage to Thomas Hughes IF Elizabeths surname was Jones, registered at
Wrexham 11b 548,....as he was a collier, its possible that he lived in the area prior to
marriage?
I have no idea which newspaper the inquest report came from, (sent family members to the
archives!)....although Im assuming it may have continued on another page, as it ends
rather abruptly....should send them back for the rest of it!!
Hannahs death cert. reads;
Place of death; Shropshire Union Canal, Chirk
aged 44 years
wife of Sydney Norman Powell, roadworker
(we assume the Sydney A in the newspaper was a typo!!)
Cause of death; drowning - she having cast herself into Shropshire union canal whilst the
balance of her mind was disturbed.
Inquest held 13th June 1938.
Again, my aunt has the actual cert, but there is mention of the Ceiriog as to where the
body was found......which may explain the death being registered in Wrexham? The inquest
appears not to have been filed.
