He is given as Thomas Davies Engineer.I presume he was still alive.A little bit more information about the type of Engineer would have been useful!

Thanks Maddie.I had hoped it might have been the elusive Thomas father of Maud with Polly and Annie the witnesses,but it looks like another family altogether.
