Hy just a quick question when you mention Gwersyllt Church do you mean Holy Trinity or are they two separate churches and that applies to burials as well  regards Alice

There are 2 border crossings from Canada to the US from 1940 & 1941 for Gertrude May Williams born Summerhill, Wales.  They are hard to read, but it looks like she was working as a cook and her contact in the US was a Mrs. Crawford, 5-something Park Avenue, New York City.  Her brother Edward is listed on one of the pages as living in Toronto.

I think she is with Adele G. Crawford at 580 Park Ave. as a cook on the 1940 census.  An obituary for Adele's husband William says he was the head of the building firm William Crawford, Inc. in New York City and died in Southampton, Long Island. 

So, I don't see any Rockefeller connection, but a pretty fancy address nonetheless.

You can see the 1940 census here - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/K3YJ-ZZM?cc=2000219

The border crossings are on the same site you subscribe to.

Hi Alice, thank you for this information. Very interesting. Marion and Emily would receive gifts from Auntie Gertrude and my Mum remembers that Gertrude crossed the Atlantic on the Queen Mary liner! I am happy for you to send me your address by email stuartdavies@blueyonder.co.uk and please keep in touch. Any news of Oscar's war record?  Edward or Ted must be the artist! Holy Trinity is Gwersyllt Church. It feels very much central to our family's history, Emily and Marion spoke of it and the people including Canon Aurelius Jones on many occasions.
Best wishes
Stuart
