Beverley Report 27 Feb 2011 18:56

I am trying to get any information I can on my late Auntie. Namely Emily Vera Davies 1913. I dont know where she was born, but she married Alfred John Trow approx1939.Alfred was a welsh coalminer from Tredegar South Wales.There were 4/5 children. Emily (known as Vera) was killed when the car she was a passenger in got caught up in a police car chase.This was about 1970.I appreciate any help. Many thanks Beverley

Beverley, if she was your aunt then she would have been the sister of your mother or father so I guess you already know about the family?

Unless she's an aunt by marriage .........

Thank you for the help, Vera was my fathers sister.Unfortunately I am not sure how to go about finding what children they had, so again any help I am grateful for. Also I dont know where Alfred was born, so that would be a great help aswell. Vera and Alfred apparently were living in Tredegar at the times of their deaths Regards Beverley

Enter only Trow and Davies in the surnames (no christian names)
Choose timeframe 1939 -1945, click births and you will find 3 possibles. ... but all different areas... so may not all if any, be yours.

Really grateful for the help.With regards to Alfred,s birth that is a very good possibility also mother,s maiden name as Rees. Was there any information on his father? Thank you Beverley

You would need either Alfred's marriage certificate or birth certificate to find his father's name.

There are two possible Trow / Rees marriages on freebmd
