The Common Room / Re: Death Registration
« on: Friday 10 April 09 13:52 BST (UK) »
Hi Pughy
I believe the death had to be registered in the area in which it took place. Maybe he died at work or something?
Alternatively, he might not have been registered using his middle name - plenty of John DAVIESes about, I imagine?

Hi Rob
Welcome to Rootschat
I did a google search and came across a great website - then realised it is probably yours!
http://www.greaves.ca/index.html
The National Trust surname database indicates that there were too few TWELCHes in 1881 and 1996 to register (<100) so that doesn't help you much either.

I see that you've already checked the IGI. Fascinating research you've done there though. Sorry not to help at all.

I know that this isn't a perfect fit but have you considered him?
1901 census RG13 Piece 5237 Folio 61
Patrick Mc DONNELL sailor single 19 able seaman worker born Antrim Cushindal (Cushendall)
He's on board the Steamer Gem in Llanddulas, Denbighshire.
There's also a John Mc DONNELL from Cushendall on board.

Ah that will be the Welsh in you, caru!
The Dominic and Bridget couple in 1901 don't have a James at home with them in 1891 - don't know if you can say categorically that that rules them out though.
I think the 1911 census will be much more helpful than you think - it should tell you where he says he was born at least! Have you found him in the earlier censuses, I don't think you've said?
Have you looked at James' medal card on Ancestry - I think you said you have access to it? And I don't suppose any of the CWGC details of JPMcDs gave a father called Dominic?

If he was in Wrexham in 1911, you won't be able to see th census yet - it is due out shortly though and should be checked.
Have you followed up the suggestions of Piglet and Josephine on the previous threads?
Specifically, have you followed up the family found here -
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,361755.msg2384514.html#msg2384514
on the 1901 census to see whether they had a son?
Who were the witnesses on the marriage certificate? Did they marry in a church (which denomination) or register office - might help to determine which faith, which could be important if you're following an Irish family.
Did the name Dominic pass down the family? Were any of the siblings names mentioned - did any of those mentioned in the 1901 census from the thread linked above seem familiar from the next generation down?
I hope the answers will enable us to help you

Hello Gene Genius
When you say you haven't tried "in here" before - I just did a Rootschat Search and you have about eight threads on the same family!
I'm just pointing this out because it might save someone spending credits on information that you already have.
Where does the 1911 census say he was born?
Can you post details of this family please?
