This has niggled me for some time---Elizabeth Jones was alive at the outbreak of WW 2 1939 as family remember her problems getting to an Air Raid Shelter in a wheelchair as she was crippled with arthritis. She was born in Erryrys abt 1883 and married George Ellis who died very young in Minera 1912 (bur Minera 18 3 1912) She later married Heth Jones 1 5 1926 in Jerusalem Chapel Wxm (The Witnesses were ::)Tom Williams and his wife Jane yes the very one involved in The Limeworks Tramp Saga) When Heth died in 1956 he was buried with his first wife Ruth (nee Edwards a sister to Elizabeth) who had died in 1924 and there is a headstone to verify this in Coedpoeth Cemetery. I must presume Elizabeth was possibly buried with her first husband George in Minera but have failed to find it so far. I have the relevant census details but would appreciate putting this one to bed.

Hello Tom, I'm afraid I cannot help you with your query re Elizabeth Jones, but in your posting you make reference to The Limeworks Tramp Saga - and the witnesses Tom and Jane Williams. I should like to read this, but cannot find the item in "Search". I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

Never thought I would be doing this as I am still a novice really. Go to home page and open Mystery Ancestors (just below Miscellaneous) and you will see the interesting mystery of The Limeworks Tramp Tom

Hi, Elizabeth was not on the Electors list in 1945 so I can only give a guesstimate between 1940 and 1945---I have the Electors list for Minera 1937, 1945, 1949, 1951 and 1961 should anyone require any info from these any time. Thanks Tom

Thaks for this- I would favour age 59 at this stage and will now try for an Obituary or burial if or when I get a chance-great result, Tom

Hi, Just to close this particular thread on a triumphant note-- I have found the burial 8th October 1942 in Minera. An amazing co-incidence but my own father is the next burial in the register. As I knew his details I had never searched this register before. If anyone ever has the date of death I would still appreciate it but in the meantime lets end on a happy note and say thankyou to all who helped me in any way and thanks again--Tom
