Herefordshire / Re: Thomas Davies 1855
« on: Today at 00:35 »
Once again, I draw your attention to my reply #13.
There are 2 Thomas Davies born around the same time, and in the same Burghill - Holmer area. One is the son of James (a cooper), and the other is the son of Thomas (a labourer and thatcher).
They are not the same person!


I believe the marriage details regarding Cecilia Wildbore/Ashton are also correct.

If you do not have the actual document, you will not know what it says. It doesn’t matter what you “believe" it might say. The indexing of a document does not give you the detail that is on the document.

I posted details in reply #13.

Unfortunately, I don’t think NorthernGeezer has followed up on any of it yet, or obtained the necessary documents to provide accurate information.
I don’t think there is much more I can do to help.

A “deal” was a measurement used for lumber.

This is the relevant birth certificate. PLEASE POST IT BELOW.
This will tell you where & when he was born, his parents’ names and his father’s occupation.

I now believe that the fact there is a Thomas and James Davies in Burghill who are both Coopers is just pure coincidence, the Mary Saunders marriage has convinced me of that.

But you haven’t seen the that marriage certificate to know what is recorded. So how do you know?

Working from here-say and assumptions is not effective. You need FACTS.

The occupation farmer of James Davies on my grandads wedding certificate raised questions too,

James Davies occupation is NOT a farmer on any wedding certificate. You keep saying you are looking for James, a farmer. WHY?!

In your words (reply 14):-
1930 wedding, I have the certificate, Thomas James Davis ( my grandfather) married Elsie Jane Bell on 26th December, father listed as Thomas Davis, deceased, occupation listed as farmer.”

Have you thoroughly checked the other person’s claim, through documented evidence and sources?

Please post the supporting documents or links to the  sources.
