New message to Vivienne j

From John dear vivienne, thanks for reply to my query about davies family abercynon, john and jennett,were the great grandparents of my wife, the one son cyril was my wifes grandfather, got lots of info on him, found the grave of john and jenett in pentyrch, they spelt her name various ways, we knew idris never married found he had lived in canada/usa but died in wales, knew one of the boys had stayed on at abertaf villas, think it was david, looking for david davies got 1000s of hits, morgan was a bit more unusual knew he was in abercynon, you told me where ..knew his wife was jane, but you pinpointed the right one for us , perhaps we can find decendants of john willie, as one of our interests is getting photographs of old relatives, and also we have lots of davies photos that some rellie might identify, it wud not be morgans children ,as it seems he had none thanking you john

Hello John..
It is best to reply on here most of the time as then anyone else seeing your reply may be able to help,with a private message only I can see it ,and with a family with these names you need all the help you can get!.

This will be a very hard task to do.
My first suggestion would be to place an advert in the local paper for the area to see if anyone comes forward as being related.

Have you tried searching tree on here to see if anyone else has them in their trees?
You may have to send many messages to no avail but you never know,you may hit lucky with one or two..

Other than that you would have to send off for all the possible marriages for David and John Willie and as you know there are too many for that really.

I am sorry not to be able help further,but good luck in your search.
