One even has a picture of Ivor with his parents

Could anyone please help with information on Ivor Novello's father
David Davies. I know he was a tax inspector (!!) in Cardiff and that's
about all. I can find any amount on Ivor and his mother Clara but
it's like looking for a needle in a haystack with the Davies surname.
Does anyone know his date and place of birth ? I would be very grateful. Thanks Ed
