I'm looking for the death of my Gt GT Grandfather, John Davies (some records show John Arthur Davies) a Rail Straightener who lived at 3 West View terrace, Ebbw vale, Monmouthshire. He is shown in the 1887 Electoral Role but when his wife (Mary) died in September 1889 she is shown as a widow.

Do you have the birth year for John? There are several death registrations that could be him.

All the information you can give helps.

Hi Glynn

I think this may be your John's death registration (he seems to be the closest fit to your John):

Name: John Davies

Estimated birth year: abt 1816

Registration Year: 1887

Registration Quarter: Apr-May-Jun

Age at Death: 71

Registration district: Bedwellty

Inferred County: Monmouthshire

Volume: 11a

Page: 64

Ebbw Vale was part of Bedwellty registration district until 1894, as far as I can see.

I believe the General Register Office is putting some certificates on line for a reduced cost - not actual certificates, but show all the important information. It might be worth having a look.

Good luck

Hi Pauline,

Thanks for trying but this person lived in Charles Street, Tredegar and was a Collier. (I'd already purchased the certificate).
