Hi Carol

The 1939 Register has Phyllis B Hancox ...single.......but it indicates that she later married a Mr Wall and then a Mr Price.

Which as you say, she did.... in 1941.........

Marriages Mar 1941 (>99%)
Hancox Phyllis B Wall Carmarthen 11a 2485
Wall Arthur B Hancox Carmarthen 11a 2485

And.......

Marriages Dec 1948 (>99%)
Hancox Phyllis B Price Amersham 6a 585
Price Horace G Wall Amersham 6a 585
Price Horace G Hancox Amersham 6a 585
Wall Phyllis B Price Amersham 6a 585

A Horace G Price though and not James Price.

PricklyHolly - thank you - yes this is the family. They were living in Tower House on the Glanbrydan estate and Matthew (born 7 June 1887) was the groundsman. That's very valuable information. I know that Phyllis (known as Beryl) migrated to Bucks during the war and she wrote home to her sisters telling them about the wonderful social life in the bright lights of Bucks. Her two younger sisters also migrated and all three worked in an armaments factory (Rotax) where all three sisters met their husbands. It's the information about Phyllis which interests me and the presence of Arthur Wall. Phyllis is listed as single nee Hancox was Wall. Yes she married Arthur B Wall (her mother's half brother) but in 1941, the marriage failed and she remarried 'James' Price but in 1948! I don't subscribe to FindMyPast so don't have access to the 1939 register - can it be altered online? Beryl was 15 in 1939 but married in Carmarthen in 1941 to this Arthur Wall who was living with the family in 1939. Why is she listed as Price when she didn't remarry (in Bucks) until 1848 and she met James Price at Rotax.

Many thanks for all your contributions - I have copies of Matthew (1887) and Selina's (1891) birth certificates and yes Matthew snr is given as father on both - (deceased) on Selina's which is borne out by the 1891 census return where their mother Elizabeth is listed as widow. Matthew's occupation is given as plate layer on both certificates. I hadn't found Selina's baptism on 04/03/1891 at St John Tipton - so thank you EricaH for finding that. She died 3rd Q 1892 aged 1 Stourbridge - I don't have this certificate but will get it from GRO. This registration district seems to indicate that the family had moved out of the workhouse when she died.

Matthew jnr (1887) was my husband's maternal grandfather and yes he died in Bucks in 1979. His history is interesting - family lore has it that Matthew and his brother James fought regularly and one day during one of their fights a knife was involved and Matthew lost the sight in one eye. Boys will be boys. Family lore also has it that Matthew didn't get on with his step father Edward Green and he was admitted to Gem Street Industrial School where he can be found on the 1901 census whilst his mother, step father and brother James were living in Tower Street, Dudley.

For those of you who may not have come across Industrial Schools before - they were not places of punishment but an opportunity for 'troubled' youngsters to learn a trade - the school even found employment and arranged transport to that employment but it seems young Matthew jumped the gun and ran away! Family lore has it that he walked the railway lines and found himself in Llandeilo, Wales.

He met his wife Ellen (known as Nellie) who was in service in the area and they married in 1922 in Llandeilo. To cut a very long story short, he worked for many years as groundsman at Glanbrydan Park and they had 5 children - my late mother-in-law was their middle child. Matthew was well into his 70's when he eventually retired - meanwhile 3 of their daughters had migrated to the bright lights of Bucks and Matthew and Nellie retired to Bucks to be close to their family.

I can't find any record of Matthew snr's death - neither can I find a marriage for him and Elizabeth - Elizabeth was born in Ashby-de-la-Zouche, Leics and I live fairly close to Leicester Record Office so will take a drive up there soon - maybe the parish registers will yield some results.

Meanwhile if anyone has any more leads on my brick wall I'd love to hear from you!

That one is too late, malyon, and wrong MMN
