He married Ellen Jane Benfield, daughter of George Benfield and Sabina Leafe, on 15 May 1894 at Annesley Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire, England. William Henry Getliffe died in 1955 at St Asaph, Denbighshire, Wales, St Asaph (Welsh Llanelwy) is a town in Denbighshire North Wales on the River Elwy In the 2001 Census it had a population of 3,491
The town of St Asaph is surrounded by countryside and views of theValeof Clwyd. It is situated close to a number of busy coastal towns such as Rhyl Prestatyn Colwyn Bay and Llandudno The historic castles of Denbigh and Rhuddlan are also nearby.
History
The earliest inhabitants of the vale of Elwy lived in the nearby Palaeolithic site of Pontnewydd (Bontnewydd), which was excavated from 1978 by a team from the University of Wales, led by Dr Stephen Aldhouse Green. Teeth and part of a jawbone excavated in 1981 were dated to 225,000 years ago. This site is the most north-western site in Eurasia for remains of early hominids and is considered of international importance. Based on the morphology and age of the teeth, particularly the evidence of tauradontism, the teeth are believed to belong to a group of Neanderthals who hunted game inthevale of Elwy in an interglacial period.
Later some historians postulate that the Roman fort of Varae sat onthesite of the Cathedral. However, the town is believed to have developed around a sixth century Celtic monastery founded by Saint Kentigern and is now home to the small fourteenth century St Asaph Cathedral. This is dedicated to Saint Asaph (also spelt in Welsh asAsaff), its secondbishop
The Cathedral has had a chequered history. In the thirteenth century,the troops of Edward I of England almost burnt the cathedral to the ground and, in 1402, Owain Glyndwrs troops went on the rampage causing severe damage to the furnishings and fittings. Two hundred andfifty years later, during the Commonwealth the building was used tohouse farm animals, pigs cattle and horses
The first Act of Union in 1536 placed St Asaph in Denbighshire. However, in 1542, St Asaph was placed in Flintshire for voting purposes. Between 1 April 1974 and 1 April 1996 it was part ofClwyd
As the seat of an ancient Cathedral and Diocese St Asaph historically had city status The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica refers toit as acity, but it is no longer considered as such. The town applied for restoration of city status in the 2000 and 2002 competitions but was unsuccessful.
