Have just read this thread. Lydia Florence Pamplin had 8 siblings, Evan Turner Pamplin is my ancestor. Katie Ballard Pamplin born 28 July 1895 was Lydia's daughter. Walter Goodall Pamplin born 13 November 1903 was Lydia's son, no Father on either birth certificate. On Walter's marriage certificate he states his Father is Walter Goodall Pamplin (deaceased) a Metal Brooker.
James Davis Pamplin was baptised on 4th May 1900 the Mother is stated as Dora Pamplin in the register.
I to have Georgina Ansell Weiss nee Barrett as his 2nd wife.
My Father always referred to Charles Davis as "the copper king" and made him sound quite a character. As Charles died in 1918 it must have been memories/ stories from his Father or Grandfather. Would you have any photographs of them? Would it be possible to have a copy of his will and codecils?
