Hi my great nanna was born in Berwick upon Tweed, her name was Annie Boston
Downes. I don't know the scoop but she was raised by her grandparents, who
were apparantly wealthy fish merchants, and all my life lived in Llanelli,
Swansea. She was born, 10th March 1873, and married William John Davies.
Have you heard anything on your Downes which may tie in with me? My Great
nanna named her first daughter, Euphemia Jean, if thats any clue. Hoping to
hear from you Dianne in Canada.
