Have discovered a gravestone for this person in Merstham, Surrey. My Davis ancestors are from this area but I have no record of this persons relationship to my family. Can anyone help please?

A very common surname - have you done any research?

Census records would be a good place to start

What is the wording on the gravesotne?
