Eliza THICK/COX/DUKES was my 2 x great grandmother. Her daughter Mary Grace Cox being my great grandmother. Eliza died in South Wales in 1918 but as yet I don't know the death date of her husband, Charles H DUKES. I will dig out my files and see if I have any more info on the whereabouts of Eliza and Charles for 1891 for you.

Eliza was listed as JUKES in 1891 although the online transcription that I've seen has misread this as Jakes! Doesn't help family tree researching does it!!!!!

Anyhow, in 1891 she was a widow and lived with her daughter and son-in-law (my great grandparents) Joseph & Mary Grace COOMBS and their children in Bratton Seymour, Somerset. She was still living with them in 1901 but by then they'd moved to South Wales - they were living in Gilfach Goch, Glamorgan (where my Dad was born - he was the middle of 3 sons of Joseph & Mary's daughter Gertrude).
Eliza DUKES died in Gilfach Goch on 25 Dec 1918.
