Townsend Grocery Stores

A Memory of Denbigh.

I used to come on holiday annually to stay with my Nain and Taid in Ruthin, I have fond memories of the staff and family from the "Townsend "Stores; as the train left Denbigh station on the way to Ruthin all the family would be outside to gives us a wave, it was always a highlight of a long journey. David Davies was my great-uncle (being Nain's elder brother), his wife was Ada, and he had a son Dai and daughter May (who worked in the post-office side). I used to enjoy visiting them during our stay and the remember the fascination of the goods they sold.

Good evening Peggy, I see you posted this back in 2011 - so sorry to take so long in writing! I do a lot of ancestry research and came across your memories of Townsend Stores after researching my GG Grandparents, Henry Davies & Dinah (Williams). Their son, Henry Davies, was my G Grandfather and if my research is correct then Edward Salisbury Davies was his brother. David (Stanley) Davies was Edward's son and the three of them are recorded as being in Townsend Store, 124 Vale Street in the 1939 Register. I'm pretty sure that this information is correct but I'm always looking to double double check and also find new information - like yours. Do you have any further information - names, other relatives etc. I have David's parents, Edward & Adeline, living in Rhos-on-Sea later on in life: their names and address (both at Townsend Stores and Rhos-on-Sea) are labelled in my Mum and Dad's address book as 'Uncle Ted' although Edward would in fact have been Dad's Great Uncle. Anything you can tell would be great and, of course, if there is any information I can give you I will. Regards, Mark (Mark Jones).
