I am unable to trace John Davies b. 1864 Porthkerry, Glamorgan and wife Beatrice Alma Davies b. 1895 Yeovil, Somerset. I know they were living in Barry, Glamorgan but cannot find them in 1911 Census trying all sorts of variations. I can only think they must be mistranscribed. Children are Annie b.1892 Cardiff Reg. Elsie b.1895 Cardiff reg. and Arthur John b. 1899 Cardiff reg. Cardiff is the registration district for Barry. Can anyone help please.
1901 Census has them living at 8 Digby Street, Barry, Glamorgan.
Used up credits looking for them so any help appreciated.
