Hi Rosie,

Yes I have and nothing comes up.  :(

Where else could I look?

Or does anyone have any ideas how I could find an Obituary for Llanhilleth in 1947?

Cheers

Monmouthshire / Help- obituary/probate - Thomas Rees, 1947 Llanhilleth
« on: Friday 29 March 19 06:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

My great-grandfather Thomas Rees died on 15 July 1947 in Lllanhilleth.
I think he owned his house - 11a High St, Llanhilleth.
2 of his daughters and his wife had already died.

His son William Rees, was with him at his death.

He was outlived by his 2 daughters - Hannah and Myfanwy - and his son William.

Hannah Jane Rees (Jones/??) was my grand-mother, and I'm trying to find out her last name and trace her. Apparently she re-married, having been widowed in 1931 when her husband, Stanley James Jones, died.

I'm hoping that she might be named in her father's Obituary or Probate?

Any ideas how to find either of those from Lllanhilleth in 1947?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Shane

Monmouthshire / Help - Hannah Jane Jones (ne Rees) re-married?

Hello,

I have run into brick walls trying to trace what happened to my Grand-mother from Llanhilleth.

Hannah Jane Rees  (1903-???)
     
Born:2 Apr 1903 in Lllanhilleth to Thomas and Maria Rees
Married Stanley Jones  - Sept 1924 (Marriage Certificate referred to her also known as Nancy)
Feb 1931 - Stanley died - and my mother Edna Winifred Jones was born in Sept 1931

According to my mother, Hannah did not want Edna, so Edna grew up with Hannah's parents Thomas and Maria Rees.

My mother refused to ever speak about her mother, but only mentioned that "her mother re-married" and "her mother lived in Kent, near Bighan Hill during the Battle of Britain".

So I do not know who she married...after 1931 ... where she married, OR what her last name was.
I also don't know when she died, or where she died and was buried.

I have searched the 1939 Register for variations of Hannah Jane Jones, Rees, Nancy Jones all through Wales - and no luck. I even searched all the Hannahs in Wales in 1939 - but none with the same birthday.

I have also searched Marriage records in Wales and in Kent - Hannah Jane Jones, Hannah Jones marriages - and none match up.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you in advance!
cheers
Shane
