Hi all
Hope you can help just think I am looking into this a little too much - Looking for information on Mair Saunders from Rhymney born 1919 - Looking for her husband who I believe was thomas as I think we called him tom. confused on date of marriage and toms surname.  Both died 1970 early 1980's


thank you

If you know the names of any of their children you could check freebmd using their christian names and birthyears/birthplaces with a mothers maiden name of Saunders

sorry late replying
The family where my grand parents family who I lived with and brought me up. My grandfather died when I was 8 so all i can remember is that Tom died and my grandfathers sister rather soon after my grandfather. My grand also died within a few years and thats where anything to do with the family died also. There was no documents of my grandfathers that I can remember relating to his family left behind . I do know that they had a daughter who would be 60 -65 whos name I do remember but moved away after completing university and married.

Thank you

Can you tell me if this is correct as your reply is a little confusing?

Tom was your grandfather and he died when you were 8yrs old

Tom's sister died soon after him

Your grandmother died a few years later - was she Mair Saunders b 1919?

If Tom & Mair were your grandparents - that means that one of their children was your mother or father

sorry I must get to bed earlier, My Grandfather - Myddyr was Mair's brother - Tom(?)  was Mair's Husband. My Grandfather died 1st followed I believe by Mair and Tom

Thank you for your help would love to have this information. There isn't anyone I can ask as sadly all my close family pass away when I was young. I know the daughters of Mair and Tom's christian name but I don't know if I am allowed to post this. (Hopefully she may still alive and my only relation I have.)

Best wishes and thank you

I see yuor problem - I can see your grandfather's birth in 1917, but no death, nor a likely marriage for Mair near home or away (thinking it could have been a WWII marriage when stationed away from home)

If Myddyr Saunders was your grandfather who died when you were 8yrs old - what year would that be as there is no death registration for him

Hi Carole
Thank you for taking an interest in this my grandfather died in 1979 - Merthyr Tydfil B80A 8603B he lived all his married Life in Deri, Bargoed and Married Dulcie Saunders of Deri ,Bargoed. I Know that Tom ? and Mair had one Daughter Annwen. I believe that they are burried in Rhymney Cemetry but I have visted there numerous times to look at the records, but only managed to find my great grand parents John and Emily Saunders. I have been to the old house to find that it has been knocked down and the old cafe is now a kebab house.
