    Default 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.

    Mary head aged 35 Widow Charwoman
    Elizabeth aged 12
    Margaret Ann aged 10
    John aged 8

    so doesn`t help much for his dad , but at least now you know his mum was Mary...maybe we need to step back a little here , cos looking for a marriage in Liverpool around 1869 for a Davies to a Mary...........oh dear...mission impossible...and if you look for the 1871 census in Liverpool for Mary Davies aged 25 with Elizabeth aged 2 and newly born Mary Ann (if she has been born )...another hard task....genuinely hard research mate...the very best of luck...you`re gonna need it......allan

    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"!

    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.
