many thanks sorry for delay at getting back.
Im still trying to get further back. I have THOMAS THOMAS b 1792 who married MARY FUZZARD b 1794 both from Portland Dorset. They have a daughter Mary b 1814 who married Thomas Chaddock
.I think Thomas father was Thomas married to a Mary.

Christiana Davis 8 months: born: Portsmouth, Hampshire

that is 100% correct ADA WAS MARRIED TO WILLIAM ABERT MUNDAY on 28th nov 1891 in Southampton

Could only find one birth for Ada:-

Births Dec 1872 (>99%)
Pover Ada Eveline Southampton 2c 13

age and place would be about correct, so could be her!


and this looks to be her in 1881, although can't be 100%.
Name: Ada Pover
Age: 8
Estimated birth year: abt 1873
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: Thomas
Mother's Name: Emily
Gender: Female
Where born: Souton, Hampshire, England

Civil parish: Portsea

Household Members:
Name Age

It would seem that she did marry:-
Marriages Dec 1891 (>99%)
Barnett Walter Blaker Portsea 2b 1043
Munday William Albert Portsea 2b 1043
xxxx Pover Ada Eveline Portsea 2b 1043
Turner Jane Charlotte S Portsea Island 2b 1043

Birth for John Allen:-

Births Dec 1869 (>99%)
Davis John Allen L Weymouth 5a 324

so he did have a third name. The L could be a mistranscript of F.


His marriage:-
Marriages Sep 1891 (>99%)
xxxx DAVIS John Allen F Portsea 2b 926
Doody Lavinia Ryall Portsea 2b 926
xxxx Grover Louisa Portsea 2b 926
Turner George Portsea 2b 926

so correct family!

If marriage is correct, then this could be her in 1851:-

Age: 14
Estimated birth year: abt 1837
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: Joseph
Mother's Name: Mary
Gender: Female
Where born: Dorset, England

Joseph Waight 57 born: Fullerton, Hampshire (Butcher)
Mary Waight 52 born: Portland, Dorset
Christiana Waight 14

Marriage cert. will confrim as father's name and occupation is given.

Nothing obvious for Thomas, so you would need the cert. to find his father's name.


possible marriage:-
JOSEPH WAIGHT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 20 MAY 1832 Portland, Dorset, England
Spouse: MARY GIBBS

Her christening:-
CHRISTIAN - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 07 AUG 1836 Portland, Dorset, England
Father: JOSEPH WAIGHT
Mother: MARY

awww yes. but is there a way of finding his grandfather detail

Possible marriage:-
Marriages Mar 1857 (>99%)
Davis Thomas Weymouth 5a 448
Waight Christiana Weymouth 5a 448

the birth cert. of one of the children will confirm, or not, mother's maiden name.

On the 1881 census Catherine submitted there is a Jno A F Davis ... born c.1870.

I would suggest this is the John you're looking for.

Jno ... is an alternative way of spelling John ... seen quite regularly.

was hoping to see a JOHN ALLEN DAVIS the others fit but john i believe married LOUISA GROVER
