Hello all
I've chanced upon this thread, purely by accident, seeing if I could find any further information about Idris Wynne Parry as I had done some considerable independent research on this side of my family some time ago.

Idris Wynne and his sister, Gwyneth Aelwen, were my father's second cousins, but I doubt that my father would have known much about them as they were a few years older than him.  I have copies of their 2 birth certificates.  Idris Wynn was born on 24th December 1906, and Gwyneth Aelwen was born on 18th December 1907.

Their parents were married as follows:
Marriage:     March quarter 1906   
PARRY  John     Llanrwst  11b 446   
WILLIAMS  Elizabeth     Llanrwst  11b 446

Actual date from marriage certificate is:
21st February 1906.

Location
Zion Chapel, Llanwrst, Denbighshire, UK
to John Parry   
Description
Witness: Hugh G Parry. Edith M Collinge. Groom's add: 27 Fairfield Rd. Tranmere. Bride's add: Llanwrst.

I knew they had emigrated, but was unable to find much more about them afterwards, until I read your thread, here on Rootschat.

Elizabeth (Williams) Parry (born 14th June 1876 Gwernenedd, Llanelidan, Denbigh) was the eldest daughter of John Williams and Elizabeth Roberts (born 7th April 1839 Ty Isaf, Gwyddelwern, Merioneth), eldest daughter of my G G Grandfather, Evan Roberts (born abt 1814 at Llanfor, near Bala) and Jane nee Davies, (born abt 1814 at Ty Isaf, Gwyddelwern).

I'd be interested in finding out more about this side of the family, if anyone can add more  ie children of Idris Wynne or Gwyneth Aelwen.
