Hi Ian,
My mistake, I dragged out my daughter's baby book and double checked. My grandmother
(Stella) told me her mother's name was Olwyn & think I've found an Olwyn born
in Glarmorgan in 1893. The 1901 census states she was 8 years old at that time. My
grandmother's mother (Olwyn) was not married at the time of my grandmother's birth
& so the mother's name appears as "Williams". I've seen the entry
for Stella E in the 1901 census and it seems to fit. Grandma supposedly lived in Corris at
the time she left with her Aunt Nell for Canada when she was about 5 years old, around
1916. I believe Olywn may have married a man named Jones at some point but am not sure.
I'm afraid Grandma told a few stories to throw us off the track that her mother was
unmarried. No I don't have a birth certificate, but have tracked down her marriage
info on a Canadian site and will be sending for a copy of the marriage registration.
Perhaps more information will be on that? She married Arvid Westman in Kimbe!
rley BC Canada on Oct. 11 1929.
Thanks for your help!! :)
Linda
