Thank you Rose will find their address and write to them

You need to contact Aberystwyth library for electoral rolls.

That is correct, as I said I have the family 1911 Census living Llandudno Junction Conway.

What would be great if anyone had electoral rolls to see if the family had moved from that address tp Abreystwyth after 1911, that way I know for certain those ww1 records are my Gt Uncles.

Thanking you

Looks to be in Conway district in 1911:

Schedule type Last names First names Sex Birth year Age in 1911 District / other County / other
HOUSEHOLD DAVIES LLEWELYN M 1897 14 Conway Carnarvonshire

I don't have access to see the other family members.

Just found some hand written notes that I made a few years back, so I apologise for my previous error.

Llewelyn Davies born 18th November 1898 Bryn Caled Alley Bala Merionth.

I do believe that the family moved before 1911 Census were possibly living in Llunduno Junction,

But I still wonder if The Army Records are his though as being a hawker and same surname was not uncommon then?

Could anyone have a look for me please on the Elector Rolls/Cunsus

Thank you

Heidi,
The kind lady said this Llewelyn Davies was not born in Bala, so sorry I can not add any more for you.

My Davies family were from Llanrwst, but family kept moving around, the family members were usually Hawkers but I know that one son and his sons were painters.

Llewelyn has been a missing link for my mam's family for many years and is still thought of today and wonders if he married and had any children.

By strange chance, i think the Llewellyn Davies in Pontypridd is in my tree and was my daughter's gt grandfather. They lived in Llanbradach in Caerphilly, but Pontypridd was the registration district.. If it helps this Davies family were originally from Magor, Monmouthshire.

Heidi

Thank you both Sylvia and Rose.
I contacted Pontipridd Registry Office and what a very nice lady answered my query, sadly that Death Registered is not my relative

His occupation on the British Army WWI Pension Records was hawker, same as his father in 1901.

Rose

Sylvia, thank you for this, I know they were not living in
8 Poplar Row, Aberystwyth in 1911, but the family seemed to move around often, so need someone who can have a look in the Electorsl Rolls if possible.
I

Rose, yes I think the same as you and will speak to Pontipridd Registry Office tomorrow, will let you know the outcome.

well, you obviously need to check whether your Llewellyn with father Henry lived at the address in 1911


so you need to check on the 1911 Census to see who is living there

Then there are the Electoral Rolls ..... they were not taken during the war years, but you might find something before or after the war.

Susan,

If you have his birth cert. and know he was born on Nov. 2nd that must be his death. The odds of another Llewellyn being born on that date are very slim.

Purchasing his death cert. might reveal a relative as an informant.

Rose

Aw Netty good try, but as you said this is not my relative.

Trouble is I have no proof that he did infact go to America or even left Wales! I can only go by what relatives have said over the years.

Yet another mystery!!

wow Sylvia thank you so much for this information.
It now gives me another address to work from,
I did not know they had lived in Aberystwyth, the only hic cup I can see is that the birth year is out by 2 years.

How can I find any extra information that will give me the information needed to prove this is my relative?

aha, He was born 2nd November and yes in Bala, as I now recall I have those dates actually written down somewhere!

Well well, strange the family never heard from him as far as I know? now wonder if he was married and had children, this is getting exciting.....

But as you have said there is another Llewelyn same dates but have a feeling it is the one born in Pontypridd.
I would need to enquire really what do I do?

Thank you Rose

Although, this one fits with that death also:

Births Dec 1898
Davies Llewelyn Pontypridd 11a 618

Rose

If this is his birth:

Births Dec 1898
Davies Llewellyn Bala 11b 333

Then this could be his death:

Netty thank you for looking, I knew it would be very unlikely he would be found!

I just wish I has some other information about him that I could add, thinking now I do recall a family member saying years ago, that he got into a fight prior to him leaving, vague I know.
Will look through hand notes to see if anything else but I don't think there will be!

His father was Henry, but sometimes called Harry and his mother was Anne/Annie
