Rachel is listed as mother in 1891 census as posted above by safc, whereas you Greyghost lists her as Mary Elizabeth nee Milburn.

Just to add to the confusion, I have just looked up Samuel's brother - Leonard Maurice Davies on 1911 census again listed above by safc, and there the mothers maiden name is Friedman !!

Am a bit confused here.

EDIT - just looked up possible marriage of parents -

Jacob Davies marries Rachel Friedman in Liverpool in June quarter 1888.
