Emily Davies, possibly Manitoba
« on: Thursday 17 April 25 09:28 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone
I have located detail for Thomas Davies who died at Winnipeg, Manitoba 30 September 1975, but I cannot trace his wife Emily Jane Davies.  They migrated from England in the 1920s, having married in 1917 at Liskeard, Cornwall.  She was born Emily Jane Pascoe in 1891.  I have located a death for Emily Davies in Manitoba in 1923, but is easily discounted as a death notice reveals she was wife of Herbert R. Davies.
Can anyone offer any suggestions, researching from Australia.
Best regards
Stuart McDonald, Western Australia.

1931, under Davis. Son is now 6:


Thank you so very much, I hadn't got so far as children...an added bonus.  The misspelling as Davis was how I located death records in England for Thomas Davies' parents.  I think I found an obituary for Emily in the Winnipeg Free Press 1984 14th March, p 66?, but it's behind a pay wall alas.  But I really am chuffed with what you found and shared,  Illuminating.
Thank you again
Stuart

Lots of fabulous info from Jorose, as always...

That is Emily's death notice 1984. Sadly she was predeceased by their son Raymond Thomas Davies
 Vital Stats has: Date of Birth: 17/07/1924
 -died 1961...He had three children.  I will send some information by private message.

A little more on her husband for those searching"
  William James Davies, Margaret Ann Wakeham
 - His siblings Mable Gladys Davies & William Henry Davies
Has them on census 1891, 1901 &1911 children born Threthawle Near Menheniot
an FHS tree  https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/pedigree/landscape/G4YT-7C1

 1914/15   79th militia/17th reserve so I got all excited when I found a Thomas Davies in Brandon
census 1916 but sadly not him ( only b. England matches) unless all is topsy turvy...
 1916 CEF sign-up has him at Suite A - Cadillac Block / served Canada 5 months
 *1916  Red herring!  a Thos J Davies   carrier P O    h 138 Garry
  - coincidence!!! same name same job as he has later! But obviously not the same man.

 1919post-war CEF last entry info - has him living at 1025 Ashburn St
 1921 Clerk at *Eatons... living 939 Pine st. -  *directory
 *1925 Thos Davies   carrier P O   h. 939 Pine  *directory
 1926 1045 Pine street
 1931  1108 Ashburn  - mail carrier

*Wonder if he did have a middle name, though, as both his siblings did!

Thank you again, I had the sibling, it was Thomas and his wife Emily who I was missing.  I could find an obituary for Emily in the Winnipeg Free Press, but it's not so free being behind a paywall.  I appreciate what you have fund for me.
Thank you
Stuart
