I always presumed that the father of William Albert Davis would be William James Davis simply because there were 2 sons by this name and both deceased

Hope this will be of some assistance

cheers

thanks for the reference to the Geelong Advertiser

Have never located the deaths of William Albert Davis and Ellen Egan (Davis)
can only presume I am looking for William James Davis as a father for William Albert
both William and Ellen Davis also not found in 1903 electoral roll or later
