Help,I need somebody.......

Brothers and sisters, once again I must seek the assistance of our generous geneaologists to'give us a bunk', as it were, over the wall I have encountered in my latest bout of ancestral sleuthing.
Robert Davies b 1878 (Garston ?, but could have possibly been Wales just to make it more confusing) married in 1897 (Garston) Mary Ann Loftus b 1878 (Garston, possibly Irish Parents).
Until I can pinpoint the parentage of this couple, I am once more at full stop.

I will be grateful as always for any help proffered.
Adieu, mes amis, adieu.

Sister Dot, it seems that every time I go a-lookin', you come a-helpin', for which I am always grateful.
Thanks for this info, it is yet another piece of 'The Puzzle', which is much easier to follow now thanks to you.
I don't wish to push my luck, but if anything else crops up, I'd be interested to see it.
Regards, Tom.

Brother Allan, we do indeed meet again, and glad I am to see you,mon frere!
Your comments are sagacious Allan, I think the way forward will probably be to view a copy of the marriage certificate for a definite I.D.
I thank you for the above as I do all my historical helpmates on yo!, and elsewhere.
Adios y gracias mi amigo.

Interesting!!!! But I gave-up the search with the Davis's in Garston , got too confusing!!! My maternal grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Davies (nee Roberts) grandfather was Edward. I believe all came from North Wales originally but I was unable to get any further back than grandparent!! I wish all those that try "Better Luck"! :PDT_Xtremez_12:

So my kiddies may have an adopted antipodean ancestor eh?,who knows old boy, you never can tell.
This may well prove to be a tougher nut to crack than other lines of my research, but if I receive the assistance I have had heretofore,I have great expectations, which is no bad thing brother Norm, no bad thing at all.
Cheerio old chum,cheerio.

I wish you well in your endevours Red! The Davies's from my family arrived in Garston from North Wales, via Seacome/Elsmere Port, way back before the first world war. I was unable to trace any of them in the Welsh Registry search.
