The years married and ages of children vary quite a lot with the various censuses. Trying to find out who Elizabeth is, is next on the list

« on: Saturday 16 December 17 22:34 GMT (UK) »Hi again on that 1891 census William had a newly married brother Mark b 1862 Breconshire married to a Carnation and children, in 1881 he is with a wonderful group in 3, Gipsy Tents in East Dean, Westbury on Severn
Census ref RG11/2523/110/9

Thanks I am aware or Mark and Carnation. There never seems to be a census of mark and william together when they were children although williams parents were using John not johns.
I have checked my family tree and i have a davis link already from one of william and elizas children marrying a hodgkins/hopkins/hoskins grandmother so it would seem that davis was linked to travellers in that area, going to look more into it

« on: Saturday 16 December 17 21:42 GMT (UK) »Hi the family were in Westbury on Severn in 1891 census, RG12/2004/60/2, has the birth registration Comfort JONES June qtr 1885 Westbury S 6a 261 mmn Davis been looked at?Thanks i will look into this. I often get mistaken when i say johns for jones. Being unable to read or write could have potentially led to jones being recorded instead of johns

JOHNS, MARK mmn JOHNS

Thanks groom, literally just found that record. Just have to try and find a family with eliza and sister sarah to confirm if she was a johns. I know that cousins did marry in the family so cpuld be right

This will be shown for almost all births between 1837 and 1916.
Trying to have a look now, not having much luck at the moment. I never found birth certificates. Just baptism records. Assumed this was because they were travellers
