Also possible, at that time, Grandpa may have been ap Davies.....which would have probably confused the man into just writing Davis anyway.
Can someone explain to me how i get into someone elses tree? It is open for me.
Marcia

I gave the Welsh spelling of Davies because my Grandfather came from Wales. However, he got married in England. In those days they were not too troubled by exact spelling and, the reigistra being English, automatically wrote it Davis without asking if it was correct. My Grandparents either did not notice at the time or thought it unimportant and not worth correcting.

Reinstating all my posts........I took the precaution of saving them before I deleted from the thread.............

Superfluous now, I know, but proof that the effort was put in....................

Marcia

IF you ever come back to this, please note the birthplaces of the family I posted for 1911..........used precious units to get the info.

There is NO mention of Wales............someone has been giving you inaccurate information.

You surely know that Davis (no E) is an English name............

note to all...
alice mary's brother was deffinately no john. his wifes name was may.
sorry, but the other adcock lines on this thread, unfortunately, do not match. she is too youge to be adult on the 1801 , and 1891 cencus in one reply and too old in the other.
thank you all.

Glad you are getting to grips with it Marcia. You live and learn all the time.

If you want to bring the thread up to the first page again just reply with anything even a n and then post it.

Melx

I have pm'd you.

Oh Mel I am soooo glad. But I have really misled people with my original posting! I just hope everyone on this thread will re-read it and update whatever they have found. some people are looking for Alice Mary Davies long before she married and as if she were the Mother of Alber Earnest instead of the wife......but could here mother-in-law also have been an alice? Possible I guess, but should be registered in wales at that point.
so I have printed everything off so that I can study at leisure and linc the dates.
I have caught up with messages on this line, but I have found 98 messages on a queery for another branch going the other way...I know have learned a new lesson.......only look for one person at a time when you start!!!!
Marcia

Oh good.

Are you managing better with the thread thing now Marcia??

Richard deleted his own messages on your thread. He is the only one that can do that.

He did'nt have anything different to what I posted.

Mel

no these are right for my uncles. cleaver you! yeah!
I corrected alice details [ see top of page] she was born in 1882
now it makes sence!
marcia

Well, you must all be heartily sick of me!!!! Not my fault this time!
I see the name stuck Ricochet. Thanks for all your work and all of Mels too. You have certainly found the right people so my Dad must have been told an awful lot of lies about his background!
Anyway it is all coming together nicely thanks to all the help.
Reason I have been absent so long: my mainline phone went down and it took nearly four weeks for them to find the fault....at the bottom of my garden, would you believe, on the incoming cable where it attaches to the pole! So, no phone, no internet.... It took another week for them to get that back on....
It was a very peaceful 5 weeks with time for a lot of reading, but a lot of frustration at not being able to get back online..
It will take another week to sort out all the 'waiting'stuff.
BIG THANK YOU'S ALL ROUND.
Big question....where did Wales come in? All my beliefs in my spoken ancestry seem to be falling apart very fast!

i have deleted a whole load of messages from my e-mail thinking I could see them later in threads! no! I've lost everything from the last few days.
Mia Culpa to everyone.
Please just bear with this ancient and non-laptop/threads/e-mail/internet /novice/idiot!!!
Can you please re-add what I have lost/destroyed. Stuff sent this week if I haven't replied please.
And I cannot find Richard O'shea and he is awful mad at me for not reading what he has written and he has taken so much time for me,and ,I think there is a lot and I AM SO SORRY!
a very meek and mild/ quivering in the boots.....Marcia

this is really a note for everyone
yes I am looking for all that adcock line. also i have updated the top of this and it is now way more accurate
