Hi
does anyone out there have any davies or Knock families in their trees?
I am trying to trace the birth and parentage of my GGF Richard Thomas Davies b c1888 and i only have this from a now deceased Gt Aunt so not entirely sure if it is correct.
I do have all the details of his wife and children.
I also have his marriage cert but it only tells me he was 21yrs in 1910(which would make the birth year 1889) and that he and his father Thomas were both miners.

Can anyone help please

Thanks marie(richard Hummerston)
