My grandmother Verinder (vera) Davies was born c1894 in Wales (Cardiff/Swansea/Barry). Siblings were Gwilym, Lillian, Dorothy, Wyndham?, Joseph?.
She was a gifted painter but had trained as an opera singer. She migrated to Australia in 1923 where she married my grandfather in 1924.
We have no body of information about her family as she did not speak about them and all documents my aunt had gathered were lost at Rome airport in the late 1980's.
Other relations we know about were cousins: Ivor Novello composer actor.(born David Ivor Davies)
Fred Parrya tennis player.
