This blog will reflect the progress of my genealogy project(s). I will describe any major changes that I make on my website www.fayewest.ca and I will document how I solved some brick walls.

Elizabeth Broder

I have finally made some progress in my search for my great-grandaunt Elizabeth Broder.   I have known for a long time that she spent some time in the United States, around 1880.  I knew that she married Robert Jones and that they lived in Wales.  And I knew that after Robert's death, sometime before 1943, she moved to Belfast where she died in 1951. 

I didn't know when or where she and Robert married, where they lived in Wales, or anything about him.  Today I found them on the 1911 census of Wales.  They were living in Dolgelly, Merionethshire and they had been married for 6 years. 

The census information led me, I think, to Robert's death - I've sent for the death certificate for confirmation.

Now to figure out WHERE they married.  I didn't find a record in Dolgelly.  The search continues.
