DAVIS Family of Dawlish

[haselbury]

In my Research I found Mary Jane Davis wife of George Vaughan Davis in the Free BMD Deaths - June Quarter 1856 Newton Abbott 5b 97.

I do not know anything about any children fron Mary Jane Oldfield. perhaps you have the wrong one in the Census.

I found George Vaughan Davis in the Free BMD's Deaths - June Quarter 1893 Bedminster 5c 454  George was 57 years old.

George Vaughan Davis Remarried Ann Williams March Quarter 1864 at Stoke Damerel 5b 570

Have you actually looked at censuses I posted?
They are pretty clear.

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.

Lk,
I cannot help you with anything about Mary Jane, as I have no more than I have already stated. Free BMD's do not give relationship information. As Mary Jane was Married to a Davis not in my direct line, I have not obtained the Certificate for her death.  My direct line comes from George Vaughan Davis's Father Thomas's Brother William and his wife Mary Ann Mudge. As their are so many in this family, it would not be viable for me to obtain every Certificate pertaining to not direct line.

Walter Davis b1829 is my great great grandfather.

I have just begun doing my family tree and I want to thank those who have provided me with so much information in this thread. Much confirms what I already had, but there is so much more that I have learnt.

Thank you all.

Cheers
