	I would very much like to see what could be done with that one I put up above from 1881 Name: Peter Davies << Age: 65 Estimated birth year: abt 1816 << Relation: Head Spouse's name: Ann << Gender: Male Where born: Llanasa, Flintshire, Wales << Civil parish: Llanasa << Occupation: Quarryman <<<< He just ticks every single one of the boxes. Right age, right wife, right place, right occupation. Is he the same as the one with the possibly switched sons John and William? I'm too tired today to try to sort that out but I will return to the charge, lol.

	Okay, I have a new theory, Peter was John's stepfather. His mother was Ann Jones who was married to Henry Jones. 1861 Name: John Jones Age: 20 Estimated birth year: abt 1841 Relation: Son Father's Name: Henry Mother's Name: Ann Gender: Male Where born: Llanasa, Flintshire, Wales <<< Occupation: Stonemason <<< Civil Parish or Township: Gwespyr Henry Jones 48 Rate Collector, eeeeww, who would admit to that? Ann Jones 48 Thomas Jones 25 John Jones 20 Samuel Parry Jones 16 County/Island: Flintshire 1871 Name: Peter Davies Age: 55 Estimated birth year: abt 1816 << Relation: Lodger Gender: Male Where born: Llanasa, Flintshire, Wales << Occupation: not shown but HOH who seems likely to be his brother is stone cutter <<< Condition as to marriage: U.M. Civil parish: Greenfield Ecclesiastical parish: Holywell Town: Greenfield County/Island: Flintshire Robert Davies 54 Ann Davies 53 wife of Robert Peter Davies 55 He sure looks like the 1881 Peter Davies I am so fond of.

	Sorry folks, will have to go to bed. Just posted a long reply homing in on Bruce's 1881 Peter Davies, but lost the lot. The 1881 fella is unmarried, does that matter?, but Bruce if you look closely at the census image he is a Stone Cutter too, there are light ditto marks below Robert's entry. Not sure why Bruce has mentioned Ann Jones. Surely if John Davies's mother did not marry Peter until later in life, John would have known that he wasn't his father. But maybe he just used the name for ease. Yes Ladykira I think we communicated before on this. Sorry for repeating myself, I have just got to find this man. This fella is important to me. So I am really grateful for your research. Speak tomorrow. Margaret
