  Family	Hubert VAUGHAN DAVIES,   b. 11 Dec 1897, "Glan Dulyn", Glanypwll, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Merionethshire d. 9 Apr 1963, "Ardmore", Hesketh Road, Old Colwyn (Age 65 years)
  Marriage	11 Sep 1926	Longsight Baptist Chapel, Manchester   [10]
  Notes	It is not clear how they met, and I have not found any newspaper articles that might have accompanied their marriage. But a curiosity is that in 1921, HVD was a "boarder" at the house owned by Edward Turner (EFT's uncle). At the time, HVD was a "clerk" working for the Ministry of Pensions in Manchester - one of a number of regional branches of the Ministry of Pensions charged with ensuring that soldiers, sailors and others received disability and other benefits. Edward Turner describes himself as a "commercial clerk" for Cunliffe and Cooper, exporters. I have not found out any more about them, but I wonder if HVD both met EFT through Edward, especially as they were all baptists, and whether he got into the grocery business as a result of talking to Edward (plus the Ministry of Pensions soon left Manchester, presumably as their work was winding down.
