We are clearly talking about 2 different Albert John Davis's . Were they both born in 1886? The one who married Isabella Wahlqvist ( erroneously  but persistently spelled Whalqvist by her immigrant Swedish  father)(1889-1981) died in 1964 - will revert on this point. To confuse matters, the first  child of Albert and Isabella was also Albert John Davisborn August 15th 1911 and died June 19th 1991
As for Charles John Steven Davis, could he have born on the journey to Australia of his parents Charles and Martha Davis, without a birth record in either Australia or Britain?

Dear Julie Newman
I think I may have found your immigrant Davis ancestors , Charles and Martha , who married in England in Exeter in 1881 and  arrived in Queensland aboard the Nowshera ,which arrived in  Queensland in Sept 1883.   They  had one son Charles John Steven DAVIS  in Rockhampton Queensland and your great grandfather, Albert John Davis,  in Orange in 1886. Eventually , they moved to Western Australia .

Hope this helps
