Whats the connection

[ddhughes]

I am trying to find out what connection Edward Davies (mistranscribed as Davia) has to the Lewis Family. In the 1871 census he is staying with the Lewis Family with his 3 sons, and is listed as Son-in-law, but I do not know who his wife is, because in previous censuses, their 3 daughters (That I know of) have married names like,  Susannah Coates, Sarah Bridge and Elizabeth Stevens, so who did Edward marry?

John Lewis 68
Ann Lewis 68
Susannah Coates 32
Emily Coates 8
Francis Coates 11 months
William Stevens 31  ( Mariner, Born St Austell, Cornwall, no childeren )
Elizabeth Stevens 30
Edward Davia 42
William H Davia 19
Edward Davia 14
Thomas Davia 12

On the marrigae certificate May 26th 1870 for John David Lewis (son of John & Ann Lewis)  and Elizabeth Agnes Tourney the witnesses are Edward Davies & Elizabeth Stevens. His name keeps popping up but I cant find the connection . Any help would be appreciated
thank you

Perhaps Ann, who married John Lewis, was previously called Davies and Edward was her son, born before her marriage to John.

In those circumstances (and in the parlance of those times), Edward would be the "Son in Law" of John Lewis, the Head of the household.
