Hello Monica

For some reason I'd never registered that Daniel Myers mentions a daughter in the Court proceedings. I was probably too busy trying to link them to Isaac when I read that a few years ago. Thank you for pointing that out. A big clue in linking them I think.

Yes, I'd seen both military records and ruled them out as being too young and no obvious link to anyone or any place.

Thanks Kay. I didn't know about that site. Will have a look and try some variations on spellings.

Thanks Ron and Dave, some very helpful information. Definitely pinpoints the shop on the map. The 1913 reference to Florence Coe I'd not seen before either. My great grandmother Sarah Ann Coe was known as Florence Coe for some reason.

Many thanks for your help.

Thanks Saddles. Does the directory give any indication where these would have been in the street e.g. I think 107 Upper Moss Lane was somewhere near the junction with Craven Street. I know in some directories they list where the houses break for another road.

Hello Arnaud

The fifth child was Eliza Davis born 1836 and died 1845.  She's on the 1841 census with the family at St John Street Road, Clerkenwell. She was buried on 11th June, 1845 at St James', Clerkenwell. The burial record lists her as living at Upper Ashby Street and her age as eight-and-a-half.

Helen Davis who was one of the other chiildren married George Cobb in 1862 and died in 1929. I don't know what happened to John Davis (1838-?) or Henry (1831-?) and his wife Maria Garrod.

I'll have a close look at your tree over the weekend. It looks very comprehensive.

Coe75 is my younger brother.
