EDWARDS, W.Emlyn.
Driver, T4/037079,
Royal Army Service Corps

Died - 8th June 1919 - died at home aged 29 yrs

Son of William and Rachel Edwards, of 5, Hollybush Terrace, Nelson, Cardiff.

Buried at Llanfabon (St Mabon) Churchyard, Nelson, buried near front door

(I have searched for this grave at Llanfabon Cemetery. As yet I have been unable to locate it despite the fact that the cemetery in this area is relatively small. The majority of the graves near the front door (or opposite West door as it has been recorded) are very old stone and have deteriorated and are thus, difficult to read.)

Emlyn Edwards was born in the Llanfabon area in about 1891. He was the fourth child born to William and Rachel. William Edwards was a stone mason by trade and originally came from the Llanfihangel area of Monmouthshire. Rachel came from the nearby village of Gelligaer, some four miles away from Nelson. All their children were born in Nelson.

Herbert was born in 1885
Frances - born 1887
Mabel - born 1889
Emlyn - born 1891
Margaret - born 1893, and
Arthur was born in 1897.

The family made their home at:

34, High Street, Nelson.

The eldest son, Herbert is likely to have gone on to learn the trade of his father. He is shown on 1901 census as a stone paving cutter.
