Research Notes

• There is a marriage record for Lilian's marriage to Idris Rees. Unable to find any records that could be verified to him besides this. There are too many Idris Rees in the Swansea area with an age range that should fit him. Marriage Announcement article states parents as the late Mr. and Mrs. D. Rees. Is the initial D. for David, Daniel.... Without this first name and a possible age, just impossible to make a substantiated claim.
• However, he could be Idris David Rees. This assumption is based on a death record for this name Transcript: Name: Idris David Rees Death Age: 70 Birth Date: 14 Jun 1909 Registration Date: Jan 1980 Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar Registration district: Neath Inferred County:West Glamorgan Volume: 27 Page: 2146 ^[7] This assumption is based on a few clues. His middle name David could be his fathers given name. Place of death is West Glamorgan which is where Lilian's death record states her death occurred. Date of birth and death are within parameters believed he would be associated with.
