I have been trying to continue my grandfathers work into the Davies' side of the family but he passed away recently and this has left me a bit stranded since i'm quite new to this. I am looking for anyone with any relation to my line of Davies. The oldest most concrete lead I have is George Rufus Davies (1870-1840) who was married to someone by the name Ada (1874-1941). they had several children emma albert george daniel pearce arthur jesse thomas idris ethel. All from South Wales Area. Any help would be great!
