Ellen Davies

[valerie1]

It appears the sanatorium was in Abergele for  for children with TB  who came from Manchester which now makes more sense

Hi Valerie, was she the daughter of William?

[valerie1]

Hello LeeW
No her father was Daniel Davies

[LeeW]

oh yes I see now, William was her brother I think, if they were from Jenkins Street?

[LeeW]

this might be of interest, also confirms that John moved to Lancaster (from your other post about his marriage)

That is amazing I have just danced around my lounge
I have Williams death certificate and to be honest, it says that he died on the road to Llanifair by an out building and to tell the truth I knew he enjoyed a drink and I thought him to be a vagrant
I can’t tell you what it means to have this info ,I also heard he had special needs but does the army rule that out
He died in 1950 from memory
And it shows  Ellen still alive in 1950
This is a fantastic piece of family history and I do t know how too thank you
Thanks so much

no problem Valerie, the Visitor and North Wales Weekly news are a great source of research, for some reason obituaries in these papers very often list the entire family and where they are living. oh and the Ellen Davies you found that died  in 1959 was a spinster who died in Llys Onnen, Abergele (it was a home for the blind but not sure how far back).
If you have any specific date of other deaths in Abergele let me know (post 1945).

LeeW I’m in your debt
I’m still smiling at the information you found is blown me away the newspaper cutting
Now I’m very interested in that death, because I now know she didn’t Marry . I didn’t think she did and I’m pretty certain that when they were all young the girls  wore milk bottle, Glasses that’s how it was described to me so I now wonder if this is her
I will have to go back through my notes to find the details
It’s so interesting because it also confirmed lots I knew  about them it’s so lovely to have it in black and white
Thank you for the offer once I find Ellen’s death this family is put to bed
Honestly when items like this are found it’s like a win on the lottery
