Anita Elizabeth Tregarneth (nee Tildesley) also Thomas 1889 to 1972

[ARTIST RESEARCHER1]

I am researching Anita Elizabeth Tildesley and her husband George henry Thomas.
Married in 1907, they changed their name to Tregarneth in 1928.
I am particularly interested in anything during the second world war when Anita Elizabeth was named on Land tax for Plas Bodfa, Beaumauris. Anita was a writer, poet and artist. (The Call of the Sea and Founders of Faith in Wales). Photographs, stories anything would be wonderful. Their address varies over the years 1935 to late 50s but one was Voel Vanna (Church Bay) Porth Swtan.
Her family lived in Plas Mor, Rhosneigr and later her brothers lived in a large house on Menai Strait.
In 1907 she lived where her aunt lived at Glan Aber, Llangefni.
I am also trying to trace Miss Dwynwen Evans of Ty Lawr Newborough

Did you check the marriage registration - her surname was Tyldesley - not Tildesley
www.freebmd.org.uk

No birth registration but there is a birth in 1889 Monmouth for an Anita Elizabeth Jones - mothers maiden name Waite. 

Where did she die in 1972 - no death under Tregarneth.  A death in 1972 would have her full birthdate.  Where did  you get 1889 from as her birthyear

Have you looked for her on the 1891/1901/1911/1921 censuses to establish her birthyear & place of birth

Census info is available via the various subscription sites or free on www.familysearch.org

Do you have a copy of her marriage cert showing her fathers name?

Thank you it should be 1881 sorry my miss type.
She died in Jersey so I have details of that.
I have a lot of details and you are correct that link is to the correct Tildesley family. They married in 1907 so she was Thomas until 1928 when they changed their name.
She travelled a lot which I have details of and they seem to have several addresses on Anglesey and in Dorset. I am really keen to find a photograph of her but having no joy.

You probably already have this - no photo

I do thank you.
I thought her published books may lead me to a photograph of her but nothing yet.
Her Founders of Faith in Wales has since been republished.
Thanks again

Given she was an artist as well as an author I would have expected to find a photo somewhere

Only other suggestion I can make - and it's a slim chance - was anything published about her in Jersey when she died which may have had a photo??

[ARTIST RESEARCHER1]

Thank you I will try that.
Nothing has come up as an obituary but I will try the papers thanks again I appreciate you thoughts.

The only painting I could spot was "Autumn Landscape", mentioned in the Times Jun 25 1934. Googling "Autumn Landscape Tregarneth" delivered an image.

The only "obit" spotted was a very short Death notice in The Times.

Photograph as rare as hens' teeth.

Thank you.
I was just hoping that the publication of her books would include photographs but so far only written reviews and adverts.
Her husband George Henry Tregarneth was sheriff of Anglesey in 1948 but there doesn’t seem to be photographs of those.
Anita/George travelled extensively from 1910 to 1960 so was hoping that photographs may exist of onboard some of the transatlantic ships. They were on the Ss Maurentania to New York in 1914 for example.
Thanks again.
