Hi Hugo,
It has been some considerable time since my last post. I cannot believe the level of complexity in attending to my mother's funeral, estate, and interment requirements. It has been almost 4 months since her passing, and I have only just finalised everything.
Coincidental to your post yesterday, I decided to get back into my father's history tonight. The one line of investigation I needed to pursue was the letter written by my father's brother Richard Davies (on the death of my father) where he talks about his love of the mountains and the fact he was born in those mountains at his grandmothers house. You may recall that I could not find any positive records of my father's grandmother (on the Davies side) since giving birth to my father's father William, and so far, my father's grandmother on his mother's side remains a mystery. So, ordering a birth certificate for Richard Davies may provide very important information.
I started searching for Richard Davies records on FindMyPast, and interestingly found two records relating to school records. The first was a 1909 record for St George's National School (Infants), Llandudno for my father's eldest sibling Edward Davies(1905), living at (looks like B but also listed elsewhere as F)ron Cottage, Cwalch Street, matching the address on other records. The second is a 1910 record for both Edward and my father's second eldest sibling Richard Davies (1907) attending Dyffryn Road Council School whilst living at 7 Alexandra Rd, and most importantly "Left the Neighbourhood" on 15 December 1911.
The above school records also record Edward's and Richard's date of birth which provides a means of confirming any birth certificates ordered.
My investigation will continue, and I must admit this research has already given me a new boost in life.
Is there any information you can provide on the St George's National School (Infants), Llandudno or the Dyffryn Road Council School?
Regards and thanks
