Hello Chris
I've been searching RootsChat recently for any further info about Idris Wynne Parry and his family, as I know they emigrated to New Zealand, and I found various messages you had written and received. Would you be kind enough to get in touch with me as I would like to find out if you have have more info re the family?
I already know quite a bit, as I have done my own (verified) independent research, but would like to add a bit more, if possible.
The parents of Idris Wynne and his sister Gwyneth Aelwen were John Parry and Elizabeth Williams.
From my notes:
Marriage: Mar 1906
PARRY John Llanrwst 11b 446
WILLIAMS Elizabeth Llanrwst 11b 446
Date: 21st February 1906 on the marriage certificate
(Elizabeth Williams was daughter of my G Grandfather's eldest sister, Elizabeth Roberts - technically my first cousin, twice removed.)
Births Mar 1908
Parry Gwyneth Aelwen Birkenhead 8a 465
Births Mar 1907
Parry Idris Wynne Birkenhead 8a 440 (I have copies of both these birth certificates.)
In 1911, Idris Wynne is staying with his Auntie Jane in Llanrwst, while his parents and sister are at home in Birkenhead, Cheshire at 19 Woodchurch Road, Oxton, and John is a shopkeeper.
I W, his mother and sister emigrated to New Zealand in 1915, following his father, John, who had already gone out to NZ in 1913, escorting his brother's future wife. (John's youngest brother, Hugh Griffith Parry (b 1883) had also emigrated to New Zealand, some time between 1911 and 1914, and later returned to the UK in 1944 with his wife Hannah Davies Parry after retirement, to settle in North Wales.)
I'd really like to find out if anyone knows for sure what Idris Wynne did after going to New Zealand, as I can't find him on the Electoral Registers there. Did he get married and have children, or not? If you can help, I'd be most grateful....
Jan
