Find Living Relatives

Since you have the location Wetaskiwin, have you tried the telephone directory ?

http://www.canada411.ca/search/si/1/Davis/Wetaskiwin+AB/

I don't know where it is or how large it is but there are only 5 Davis listings there.

one is a veteranarian

here is an obituary for a Harold Henry Davis in Wetaskiwin

http://yourlifemoments.ca/sitepages/obituary.asp?oId=557616

he was born in 1925 and his parents were Henry and Carrie and he had a sister named Mabel and the names of his deceased and living brothers are given there

there are 2 other Davis obituaries shown at that site in Wetaskiwin

one who was born in 1918 was the wife of a Frank Davis (later generation of course)

for comparison there are 5 Smith obituaries in Wetaskiwin and 11 telephone listings so that is a fair concentration of Davises :-)

the Canada voters list database at Ancestry that I do not have paid access to shows a Frank Davis in Wetaskiwin district 1935 to 1953

Did they emigrate together? The only Frank Davis travelling to Canada in 1905 seems to have been born 1894 and travelled on the same passage as two adult Davis couples and several other younger ones ...

knowing the some dates and the names of intervening generations can be the most useful thing e.g. to search for obituaries, military records/deaths ...

right ... Frank Forrester Davis married Mabel Toy 1890 Edmonton reg dist

He was born 1869, she 1868.

They actually emigrated 1906, Liverpool to Montreal.

FF and Mabel, and on the same voyage a CP Davis, adult male.

Here is one son killed in WWI, 1943 aged 26 (c1917), Vernon Davis, parents Frank and Mabel Davis, wife Dorothy Mary Davis of Montreal

(searched using keyword Mabel, that is the only one found)

that was very late for Mabel to have a child ... ? perhaps a coincidental Frank and Mabel ...

In 1911, a Frank 1868, Mabel 1869 (reversed?) and daughter Nellie 1894, immigrated 1905, are in Alberta

The 1901 for these folks is a little odd. Was Mabel the single probationer nurse Mabel Davis? Had Frank perhaps gone to Canada already?

Some children born in Handsworth in the 1890s are living away from parents

Nellie M Davis c1895 is with grandmother Ellen Davis
Edna c1891? is with aunt Eliza Marson
no sign of son Henry from the 1891 census

Have you looked to see if Frank or Mabel, or their children or other family members appear in anyone's tree on genes?

You can then make contact with them that way.

I wonder if anyone in Canada knows of descendants of the above who migrated to Alberta, Canada in 1905. from Birmingham England. 4th generation might include Harry Allen Davis b1944 in Alberta or John Richard Davis b1950 Wetaskiwin.
Any leads much appreciated.
