Hi Darren

Thanks for the message. Have you made contact in your searches for your particular line, with the line of Henry William Davies & wife Hannah, parents of Morgan, Simon, Sarah, Mary Ann and 1 other.

William worked on a property named "ellesmere", and daughter Mary Ann married James Tallentire, if this helps.

If you do come across someone after this particular family, please get in touch with us.  We will keep the album until we can find the correct family.

Britt

Now that it is 2025 there is much more information available online, including official records, which aids us in gathering details for families.    I'm adding some here for clarification of Britt's message and hope it may be of assistance ??

*   The name of this man appears to be Henry Edward DAVIES (rather than "Henry William")   
His wife Hannah DAVIES died 16 July 1900 aged 69 /  Henry Edward DAVIES of Irwell died on 15 August 1918 aged 80.
They are buried together at Springston Cemetery, Canterbury North.   Their headstone also mentions their son Simon who died aged 16 years, on 3 February 1876.

In an adjacent plot at same cemetery, there is a headstone for Morgan John DAVIES, 1858-1938 and his wife Sarah Alice DAVIES, 1867-1941.

*   Henry Edward DAVIES, (not "William") a farmer, owned land (freehold) at Irwell.   At one time, possibly due to a boundary change, he is listed in the Ellesmere Electorate, though still residing in Irwell.   Prior to this, the electoral district he was registered in was known as Selwyn.

Rosina  /  Rose  STEVENTON   >

Should have mentioned that upon hearing the decision of the Court (1924 - 3 months jail), the woman (Rosina) fainted and had to be carried from the Court by policemen.   
                            _____________ / /  ________________

That made me remember yet another later case ... Rose STEVENTON (something of a "drama queen" perhaps ?? ).

"Evening Despatch"  (Birmingham)  -- 24 April 1930

  Headlines >  "Birmingham Woman In Scene"  /  "Found to Be Insane After Collapse"
/  Court Incident :

" A painful scene was created at Marlborough-street Court, London, today by Rose STEVENTON, shop assistant of 152 High Street, Bordesley, Birmingham   ... "

( abbreviated ) >
- charged with stealing and receiving from a Piccadilly store .. 2 hats / gloves, a coat and a handbag.

-  When store's house detective began her evidence, Steventon collapsed in the dock and began to cry out.

-  Later seen by a doctor, who considered her, (Rose), to be insane.

-   The Magistrate discharged her.

She was then to be sent to an institution in Fulham.

Could this be 'Rosina Zeamond'? Can someone with access to BNA check the article?

Looks like her surname in article is > STEVENTON >  ... there is a hyphen after letter "n" ... and "ton" is on the following line.

Article ends in stating that she had a previous conviction for a similar offence :
