I'm looking for Elizabeth Olwen 1896-1984 married to William James Grimshaw 1898-1975. I believe they lived in Barry, Wales. Anyone can help as I am looking for the address where Elizabeth Grimshaw nee Olwen live around in 70's.

Look forward to your answer

Kind Regards

Doreen electoral rolls for that period are not likely to be found online. You will find them
held locally, ( Glamorgan records office) searchable only by address though.

You would perhaps be best to buy William's death cert and see if it gives his home address?

You give Olwen as a surname, but there is no birth to match, is olwen the middle name, surname which would be likely to be Davies,

one of these two?

The daughter’s birth shows MMN to be Davies

If the death in 1975 is supposed to be William, it is in Lancashire No second forename, either
