Please can anyone find the marriage of Thomas Davies b c 1824 Liverpool to Elizabeth b c1833 Raglan or Monmouth,around 1855 when his first child Thomas was born in Liverpool. The second child wasn't born till 1862 so was this a second marriage?

Mary these are such common names we need a bit more to go on.

Who was the second child?

Do you have the family on any census? Could you give us the details.

1891 census says Elizabeth is from Monmouth,the welsh link is confusing.1881transcript also says Thomas from Wales.

Mary

Mary Report 8 Jan 2013 19:41

I thought the Welsh place could read Raglan to tie in with Monmouth.No such place on map.

where did you find that Elizabeth was born Monmouthshire please.

the 1891 I found Thomas seems to be a widower if I have the right one - son Owen still living with him

Mary

1891 census West Derby St Katherine's Elizabeth 61 is a widow with daughter Hannah 28 with green grocer shop.Eliz b Monmouth( where I live now )

lancashireAnn

lancashireAnn Report 9 Jan 2013 17:36

this is the one I thought was Thomas in 1891 living in Strickland street Everton

Thomas Davies 70 - widower insurance agent (collector in 1881 which fits)
Owen Davies 23

Hannah seems a bit old there as she was only born in 1867/68 and Elizabeth from the other censuses would only have been 58

Mary

Mary Report 9 Jan 2013 19:29

I am a bit confused about Thomas - a grocer or an insurance agent? He or his wife is credited in family history with the invention / selling of Everton toffee at the Everton football grounds. :-D

Seeing as Owen #1 was bp Liverpool St Peter, and that was where they lived in 1861, my vote is for:
