Hello, I'm trying to find any information on the following family:
John Davies c1872 and Mary Ann Davies (nee Davies) c1873 had the following children:
Beatrice May b1904 married Evan Thomas Williams and moved to Coedpoeth
Margaret Ann c1905 married George Austin Williams and had four sons, William, Thomas, Edward and Raymond
Rose c1906 married Harry Bray and had four children, Eunice, Mainee, Gordon and Graham
Emily c1907 married Alf Bray (brother of the above Harry)
Elizabeth c1908, died in 1968 in a tragic fire at Shelton Nursing Home, Shrewsbury, never married
Percy c1910 married Doris Tonge
Tom c1911 was the local postman in Ruyton for many years, also a Deacon for the United Reformed Chapel in Ruyton
All children were believed to have been born at "1 The Fields", Ruyton. Their parents John and Mary Davies were also living at the same address when they both died in the 1950's. Any help would be gratefully appreciated

I have yet to obtain Mary and John Davies' marriage certificate. I'm not sure whether they were married at either Ruyton XI Towns, (inbetween Oswestry and Shrewsbury) or the next village on, called Baschurch. There is a marriage entry for 1903 but Mary's middle name "Ann" is not mentioned, so I can't be sure if this is the correct entry. Both Mary and John are buried at the "United Reformed Chapel graveyard in Ruyton. Mary died in 1956 and John died 9 months later 1957. (Their death dates took me a long time to find).
