Have you found Charles or any of their children on any census please?

Not seeing a marriage to Charles ....or an Elizabeth Jeffries as a cook in 1881.

Could you copy and post the census details please ?

is this the 1881 census?

Address: Monnow Street, Monmouth

JEFFRIES, Elizabeth E Servant Single F 16 1865 Cook Llanrothal Herefordshire

Ahh - I took Llanrothal to be in Wales !!
Always a good idea to give the county.

Yes same Elizabeth, Sorry new to this. Charles is on the 1901 census with the spelling DAVIES Manchester St. Newport Mon

DAVIES, Edgar R M 1 1900 Newport Monmouthshire

Yes thats the one, the birth years are a bit out . The Edgar R was my Father in Law born in 1899.
Charles was born in Bromsberrow Heath Glos and Elizabeth in Llanrothal, Herefordshire, 1865. I cant find any records on these two prior to 1881 so dont know their parents info.

is this Charles and some of the children in 1911?

DAVIS, Edgar Son M 13 1898 School Newport Mon
DAVIS, Lilly Daughter F 14 1897 School Newport Mon
DAVIS, Freddy Son M 9 1902 School Newport Mon


info on the marriage has been completed and deleted, it says 10 children born to marriage, 9 still living at time of census

marriage looks like 25 years

Could very well be, Elizabeth could have died after Freddy was born as Edgar had to go and live with sister Rose Ellen, born in 1888.

just a thought, I think Agnes on 1911 may be the same person as Sarah A on the 1901

Eldest child ?
