Hi
I cannot see a link to Bedford yet. Keep looking though.

My guess is 1875 for the top picture because of the neck to hem buttons.

Just to make it clearer

1851 Address: Fore Street, Kingsbridge
OLDFIELD, William   Head   Married   M   48   1803    Rope Maker Kingsbridge      
OLDFIELD, Mary   Wife   Married   F   44   1807    Shoe Binder Foway Cornwall      
OLDFIELD, Mary J   Daughter   Unmarried   F   18   1833  Kingsbridge Devonshire      
OLDFIELD, Elizabeth   Daughter   Unmarried   F   16   1835    Boot Binder Kingsbridge Devonshire      
OLDFIELD, William G   Son      M   9   1842    Scholar Devonport      
OLDFIELD, James   Son      M   1   1850 Kingsbridge

As Phillip was born before the marriage he has the name Oldfield.

In 1861 George and Mary are in Stoke Dameral and Phillip is visiting his grandparents. He has now taken the name of his mother's husband.

1861 Address: 6, Fellowes Place, Stoke Damerel, Devonport
OLDFIELD, William   Head   Married   M   57   1804    Rope Maker Kingsbridge Devon      
OLDFIELD, Mary   Wife   Married   F   53   1808 Folvey Cornwall      
OLDFIELD, John   Son   Unmarried   M   11   1850 Kingsbridge Devon   
DAVIS, Philip   Visitor   Unmarried   M   9   1852 Kingsbridge Devon

In 1871 Mary Jane Davis is back home with her parents and Phillip has reverted to Oldfield.
1871 Address: Cornwall Street, Stoke Damerel, Devonport
OLDFIELD, William   Head      M   70   1801      Devon      
OLDFIELD, Mary   Wife      F   62   1809      Cornwall      
DAVIS, Mary J   Daughter      F   37   1834      Devon      
OLDFIELD, Philip   Grandson      M   19   1852      Devon

after this time they both revert to Oldfield. You have found the death of a Mary Jane Davis but it does not say she was the wife of George Vaughn Davis.

Hi. I have come across this thread by google.
I am researching the son of Mary Jane Oldfied who was born before her marriage to George Vaughn Davis.



1891 She is with her sons family
Address: 12, Besley Street, Streatham


1881 Address: 4, Colmer Rd, Streatham
She is with son Phillip

1871 She is with her parents described as married and using the name Davis but her son Phillip  has reverted to Oldfield
Address: Cornwall Street, Stoke Damerel, Devonport

1861 Address: 6, Fellowes Place, Stoke Damerel, Devonport   
DAVIS, Philip   is a visitor to his grandparents

George and Mary are at  Wilton Place, Stoke Damerel, Devonport


The marriage is
Marriages Mar 1855  as you know    
Davis    George Vaughn        Stoke D    5b   535
Oldfield    Mary Jane        Stoke D.    5b   535

Phillip was born c 1851 after the census

1851 Address: Fore Street, Kingsbridge with her parents and siblings.

I then found a second marriage for George
??
Marriages Mar 1864   
Bartlett    Eliza Ann        E Stonehouse    5b   570    
Burgoyne    John        Stoke D    5b   570    
Clatworthy    Elizabeth Peneluna        Stoke D    5b   570    
Davis    George Vaughan        Stoke D.    5b   570    
Williams    Ann        Stoke D    5b   570

Did they divorce or was it bigamy? I have not found George after 1861 census as yet and wondered if you had found anything?

There were no children on that census.

By 1891 James was a widow living in Evenlode
