Tracing it back (if the John and Beatrice marriage is correct) these are the Grandparents but I'm sure his name isn't Colin. It could be John but it's difficult to read.

" is John Thomas Davis or John Tank Davis or are they the same man."

Explain, please............give FULL info - especially DATES and LOCATION

Posting 1911 census does not answer the question posed by Roy

So whats the answer to my question above that you have not answered yet

My post 21 Feb 2013 15:39 Where did you get the John Thomas Davis or John Tank Davis info from?

your question was, is it John Thomas Davis or John Tank Davis




Roy

If the siblings that Jonesey has posted are correct then buy the marriage cert that i posted above, that is the best way to be sure you have the correct family

Roy

Before knowing who his grandfather was is it not important that you know who his father was?

What was the fathers name and when and where was he born?

I am trying to find his paternal line but I am getting confused.
Could you all please give your opinion if his grandfather is John Thomas Davis or John Tank Davis or are they the same man.
