Just another quick thought. As the person with him was from Runcorn could he have been taken back there for burial?

Flintshire / Re: Hare and Hounds, Wepre, Northop.
« on: Saturday 23 August 14 16:50 BST (UK) »
Just came across this request this afternoon. I was born and bred in the Quay although live a long way away now. My late father was the local funeral director and so I am familiar with the graves/cemeteries in the Quay.
I am not sure when the cemetery opened in Bryn Road/Kings Road. It is possible of course as you say that there never was a headstone.
One line of enquiry might also be that there may have been an inquest as you say he died in or near the river. I concur with the other poster to this query that he might have been taken to the Hare & Hounds following the tragedy.
You mention the name Oldfield in your enquiry. There are still members of the Oldfield family in Connah's Quay so it might be worth trying to contact one of them.
As regards St Marks church the new vicar is in place but as a newcomer and not local to the area might not have much information. There is a Churchwarden for the church but I would think that your best line of enquiry would be the verger. As I am living away and my cousin who was a lay reader at the church sadly passed away a few months ago I do not have to hand the name of the verger.
Hope that this goes a little way to help you in your search.

London and Middlesex / Re: Ada Mary Trapp

May I put a few things into the mix. I think that I am the person refered to as having a family decended from Frank Eidmans. He was my husband's grandfather.
Frank did not marry a Dorothy Robins but a Mary Margaret Julia Ellen Robin who as she was very small of stature was known as Dorothy ( a reference to Little Dorrit).
I am still trying to find a marriage for Ada and Joseph as although it is possible that they did not marry I think as Ada was such a staunch catholic it might have been that they divorced and in her eyes she was widowed.
Also Joseph registered the birth of Frank (and the death of William) so would he have done so if not married to Ada I wonder?
I have done a great deal of work on the Trapp family and I am willing to share my research to date.

Very interested in this thread as my dh's great-grandmother is the Ada Mary Trapp in question.
We too have been searching for a marriage for Ada and Joseph.
