The 1911 census tells us that they had lost 2 of their children, James & Ellen.

 

In 1918, Johns son William was killed in France serving with the Royal Welsh Fuselier’s.

 

 

In Autumn 1920, Johns daughter Catherine married Levi Rees in Merthyr Tydfil.

 

We believe this is the record of death for John in 1926.

His date of birth is a little out but may be a transcription error.
