Another little update from me!
I have received the marriage and death certificates from the records office and added a bit more to the story.
As Hugo mentioned, Matt was in the Imperial Hotel with the Inland Revenue in 1940. This would explain why he wasn’t on the Llandudno records for 1939. Florence was originally from Wrexham so she might have moved there then as well.
Florence and Matthew married on 18th July 1944 in the Register Office of Conway Valley. As we thought, Grandad Matt was a bit naughty! He put himself down on his wedding certificate as a Widower which was a surprise as I was expecting to see Bachelor or Divorced! They both lived in Tower View, Cwlach Road.
At the time of their marriage they both lived in Tower View, Cwlach Road in Llandudno and Matthew's occupation was Civil Servant, Clerical Staff.
My cousin has had a quick trip to Llandudno and took some photos of each road although he couldn't pinpoint Tower View specifically. He also stood at Grandad's grave and took photos of the area round it so the rest of us can find it in the future. I think we may get a stone put in now we've found him.
Matthew’s death certificate shows he died at home in Clifton Road with Florence beside him on 17th May 1950 from Lung Cancer aged 65. His occupation is recorded as ‘Formerly a Messenger, Inland Revenue Department.’
So there we are. We know what he looked like, where he lived, his job, his wife, his death and burial place. That’s a lot more than we knew a week or two ago! Although my other cousin had a lot of old photos from her parents, she'd never looked through for or tried to identify Matthew before. We don't see each other very often but we're both on Genes Reunited and thought we'd pool our efforts! I guess the lesson here is talk to your living relatives before you go looking for the ones who have passed!
Thank you everyone for your contributions and enthusiasm!
