Gwilym Davies-Artist in OR approx 1958

I am trying to fiind any relation of my Grandmother"Verinder (Vera) Davies". She was once an opera singer before she migrated to Australia after WW1. She was from the Swansea/Cardiff/Barry region in WEales. Her siblings were Gwylim, Dorothy, Lillian,also possibly a Wyndham, a Joseph.
As well as having trained as an opra singer she was also an artist who drew and painted throughout her life. She had been educated at a girls school in Barry Wales.
One sister Lillian married a David Semmens and migrated to Australia as did her unmarried sister Dorothy (Dolly).. To date we have no further information as all documents in respect to her family were lost when my aunts baggage went astray in Rome in the late 1980's.
She did not discuss her family with my mother or aunt and her known siblings are all dead as are their children. There is probably no connection but my grand mothr was born c 1894 and her brother and one sister were all younger than she.
Let me know if this helps you aas there are very few Gwilym Davies around.
good hunting
