In 1911 Ernest Davey, 1897 and Robert Lionel Davey, 1901, both born in "South Africa" were in Falmouth Cornwall.

Does anybody have any info about their parents etc?

I stumbled on your question today whilst researching Robert Lionel Davey's older brother Douglas Grills Davey (my grandfather). I'd be interested in any information you may have found, and can share what I have found of the Davey family.

To answer the original query (more and more records are now available online)- Lionel's death gives parents as Ernest and Edith-
