Yes, she was the sister-in-law of someone who died in 1937! Seriously, though, Martin, if you were to give us some information, such as the name of you grandfather and any other immediate family members, then members of this list could help you work out who this person was. We don't even know that she lived in the Monmouthshire area herself, but with knowledge of your grandfather's name we could help work out who his siblings were, from the census, and then establish who G Dart was from the BMD.

Hi Martin According to Johns' 1938 Newport Street Directory the resident of 79 Gaer Park Drive was a Daniel Dart, of the Great Western Railway. http://www.newportpast.com/records/directories/johns1938/search.php?road=GAE R%20PARK%20DRIVE It seems entirely possible that this was the same Daniel Dart who married Gertrude B Harvey in 1920 At least that's the only case I could find of Daniel Dart marrying someone with initial G during the likely period Registration district: Newport (Monmouthshire) County: Monmouthshire Year of registration: 1920 Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Spouse's last name: Harvey Volume no: 11A Page no: 642 Daniel Dart died in 1966, aged 79, his wife having died in 1946, aged 62. There is evidence to suggest that Daniel had married previously, his first wife Annie having died in 1913. In 1911 Daniel and Annie were living at 58 Jeddo Street with their children Agnes, Daniel and Sarah At the time Daniel was working as a 'loco fireman' Do any of these names mean anything to you? Might your grandfather have been lodging with Daniel and Gertrude, (who don't appear to have had any children of their own)? Incidentally, when responding to the Digest version of emails on this list, it's usually a good idea to top and tail the response to get rid of all the text that has nothing to do with your response! Robert -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] The point I was making was that the lady in question described herself as my Grandfather's Sister in Law not that she was! If it helps my Grandfather was Frederick William Salmon Wright born in Northampton in 1879, move to Cardiff in 1909 to take up a position at Whitchurch Mental Hospital. As far as I can make out there is no evidence whatsoever of him having a relation of that name but I might be wrong. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Treharne Jones Yes, she was the sister-in-law of someone who died in 1937!
