Daphne Jurie

[Poppy Turnip]

Can anybody help out with my maternal great grandmother Daphne Jurie she married Gwilym Meradith Perkins in 1911 in Cardiff.  Had 3 children then cannot find any trace of her after the marriage date and Gwilym was remarried by 1923, always told she had gone back to live in France.  When Daphne registered her children the Jurie on her marriage cert was spelled differently Jury, Juris, I found the address she put on the marriage cert to be in Gladstone Road in Barry and it came up as a boarding house on the census.

Hi

When Gwilym re-married in 1923 - did he show himself as a widower?

just re-read the older post and realised you are one & the same as the poster name changed on 2nd page. You obviously have the details of the 1911 marriage. Could you give us some detail, please? It may help the search.

Daphne gives her age as 21, but what is the name & occupation of her father?
What is Gwilym's occupation?
And his address?
Have you checked that address in 1911?
What are the names of the witnesses?
Have you tried to trace the witnesses?
Do you have the cert from Gwilym's second marriage?

hi,
Gwilyms army service records are available, though they have the marriage and possibly 4 children(the writing is faint)  there is nothing to suggest what happened to Daphne.
Gwilyms apears to have asked for his written will to be returned in 1920 which may or may not suggest a change in circumstances

Sorry I took so long to reply, work etc , Carole I do not have his 2nd marriage certificate for Gwilym and Maud Partridge.
 No Osprey I am not related to or in touch with the other poster.
Name of father on cert was George Jurie, no address for him just says he is deceased and was a Gamekeeper.  Says she is a spinster living at 50 Holton Road, Barry, I checked this address on census and it came up with quite a few people staying there in 1911, I thought it looked like lodgings or boarding house maybe!  The witnesses on the Cert are Lizzie Jones and Leah Lloyd and no occupation for Daphne just a dash.  Gwilym's occupation is Coal Trimmer and was living at 149 Gladstone Road, Barry.
Interesting about the Will being returned to him as I ordered his father's will Benjamin Perkins and he is not mentioned in the Will around that date just his wife, son and the 3 Grandchildren (Gwilyms children) but no mention of Daphne!!!!

Just thinking that maybe I should get the birth certificate of the youngest child of Daphne and Gwilym.  Gwilym Meradith Hugo Perkins as it seems that he was born in Bedwelty, Monmothshire the others two children were born under cardiff registrations.  Maybe the Bedwelty address will bring up some more clues not sure how to go about ordering a birth certificate and how much it is!  My Grandmother Megan Eurian Perkins new very little about her mother, or so she said anyway, so have been running into lots of brick walls, my Grandmother always said she died in Childbirth, wonder why she would say that but my Grandmothers son said she went back to France (Alsace region) and my Grandmothers Nephew says she was from Marseille in France all very confusing!!

and Gwilym was remarried by 1923

Marriages March qtr 1920 
Gwilym Perkins / Ann Weaver  Bedwellty  11a 225

The last child born to Gwilym & Daphne was in 1917 so a short timescale

I somehow could not imagine her walking away from 3 very young children although I know it does happen
