I suspect Violet Rose Young b.24th Oct 1901 appears as 9 yr old Cissie Davies in the 1911 census, the adopted daughter of James Rees Davies, Baptist Minister in Abercynon, Glamorgan.
On her marriage she is recorded as Violet Young Davis, her father as James Reese Davis, Baptist Minister. The mother's maiden names recorded on the births of her children are Young-Davies and Davies. Her death certificate records her forenames as Violet Rose. If her mother, Mary Ann Young, is who I now suspect she is, James Rees Davies would be Mary Ann's father's half brother and Mary Ann  would be my grandmother's sister.
William Joseph Young seems to have wanderlust. Walsall, Rhondda Valley, Aston, Knighton, Rhondda Valley, Aston, Nottingham, New Tredegar, Salford and probably lots of places in between.
I need to order more documentation, births and the all important marriage certificate.
Presumably Mary Ann Young died between December 1901 and the remarriage of William Joseph Young in the first quarter of 1906. The death could be anywhere with the family moving about so much. Many thanks all for the help given, Ray

Colin, Young and Davies seem to be quite common names and marriages between couples of that surname are not uncommon. Not sure if William Joseph Young was the spouse of Mary Ann Davies as 4 people on the page in 1894. Can't be the couple I am looking for if they were in Aston in 1897 not Knighton.
Carole, thanks for finding William Joseph Young b. 4 April 1897. I have downloaded the digital image. The address is 2 Windsor St, Aston and the father's occupation is Baker Journeyman, parents names identical.
I am tracing a DNA match and it connects to the side of my family that originates in South Wales and the West Country which is why I was drawn to the Pontypridd marriage. I also have Davies ancestors in South Wales.

If you use the North Wales BMD you will find it was a civil marriage.

I agree with your reading of the entry. There were probably a few men about at the back end of 1646 who may have been members of one or another of the armies or local militia involved in the conflict between King and Parliament but were now having to fend for themselves. The circumstances of the slaying might be revealed if other records are examined. Maybe a drunken brawl, a murder, or some other cause. Ray
