Have been trying to locate above in parish records without success.He was my grandfather and died in Tufthorn Avenue in May 1941 aged 61 years.His wife was Gertrude Mary Davies but she died in 1971.

Any suggestions please?

Tony Holder

If you look on FreeBMD

You will find that

John DAVIES married Gertrude Mary ROGERS - Monmouth District September 1905.

From this information you can send for the Marriage Certificate.

I'll check the 1901 census for you.

From the Burial Book for Coleford Town Cemetery:

Entry - 3705
Name - John Davies
Occupation - General Labourer
Age - 61
Abode - 84 Tufthorn Avenue, Coleford
Date - 10th May 1941
Officiating Minister - Rev'd R V Wraith
Where Buried - Section B Adult Gr.
Grave Number - K 13
In Consecrated Ground

You might be lucky and find a funeral report listing family mourners etc. which will probably also show which church or chapel the funeral was held at, published in the Dean Forest Guardian. There are some archives for this paper at Cinderford Library and some dates are still held at the offices of The Forester in High Street Cinderford.

Hope this helps you in some way.
