pjbuk007's Scavenger Hunt...Everyone Welcome To Join In

[pjbuk007]

Thanks all - off to bed.

I have those, osprey, Adeline was my Gran. Except for Eunice A E Trask; can you find Douglas and David TRASK's deaths?

I tend to think James Davies whom she is with is Reuben under an assumed name; but will think on.

Goodnight all.

Who is Douglas? When/where born?

[jaywit]

Shaun I wondered that, the only one I can see born in Wales ( Newport Mon.) has mmn Sullivan.
David is mentioned in message 1

Whoops, meant William TRASKjunior  from OP, Douglas is my grandfather's brother and another mystery for another time...

Lets go back to the beginning.

1881 census James Strange born Liverpool ( I am convinced that is wrong) living in Newhaven. His age makes him look like James snr.

1881 Eunice living Newquay

Feb 1882 Eunice back home in Gloucestershire gives birth to Annie

August 1882 Eunice marries James Strange in Newhaven

1891 In Wales as Davies children  born Swansea.

1881 Reuben Strange son of James is in Swindon.

Whoever Eunice did marry then I feel the only place they could have come into contact would be Gloucestershire.

Why marry in Newhaven?

My only thought is that the groom for some reason talked her into it maybe didn't want to marry in Gloucestershire as he had something to hide.

There is an 8 year old child on 1891 so it appears Eunice became pregnant soon after the marriage so the obvious guess is that the father was the man she married.

So what happened to Reuben who was living in Swindon in 1881?

What happened to James who was living in Newhaven in 1881?

If she was living with Reuben in 1891 and afterwards when did he die? ( She is shown as a widow on 1911)

I am afraid still more questions than answers.

I think Reuben died in Cardiff RD aged 70 in 1926.

Eunice could have been a widow in 1911 as a result of James's death...when was that I wonder?

[jaywit]

Shaun and where was Reuben in 1911?

James could have died anywhere, did he ever go back to Wales?
 He was there in 1871 and if he was using the name Davies then we are on a hiding to nothing trying to find his death.

Agnes Strange born Llantwit Fardre in 1888 is in a tree posted on GenesReunited - might be useful to contact the tree owner (Des). Presumably it's the same person who posted the message on Curious Fox.

[ShaunJ]

and where was Reuben in 1911?

I've no idea but a Reuben Strange of the right age did die in Cardiff RD in 1926 !
