I don't know the scoop but she was raised by her grandparents, who were apparantly wealthy fish merchants, and all my life lived in Llanelli, Swansea. She was born, 10th March 1873, and married William John Davies. Have you heard anything on your Downes which may tie in with me? My Great nanna named her first daughter, Euphemia Jean, if thats any clue. Hoping to hear from you Dianne in Canada. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DENISE LLOYD" <denandboris@ukonline.co.uk> To: <WLS-SWANSEA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 12:52 AM Subject: [Swansea] NELLIE DOWNS/DOWN OR DOWNES/ > Hi - Is anybody reasearching Nellie Downs/Joseph Downs or Emily Dibney.

Apparantly his mom died either in childbirth or shortly after, and his Dad remarried. He went on to have further children, Bobby, Sarah, Tommy, Annie, Ben, Davie and Sue. Not neccesarily in that order. Could anyone please check the 1881 census, or later for this family. It may not be cockett, as my ggramps and his wife later lived in Loughor, and Llanelli. This is a huge road block for me as I cant find anything out about my GNanna either. Annie Boston Downes, born 10th March 1873, in Berwick on Tweed, raised by her Grandparents, wealthy fish merchants, nor do I know how she ended up in Llanelli. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Dianne in Canada. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 09:02:26 -0700 From: Pat Connors <nymets11@pacbell.net> To: WLS-SWANSEA-L@rootsweb.com Message-id: <3D835D92.6D6DD03A@pacbell.net> Subject: [Swansea] ADMIN MSG: Signature lines Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit There are increasingly messages with signatures of longer than 4 lines.These are not only bad netiquette but also take up valuable space at rootsweb archives.
