Looking for BEATRICE DAVIS

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Sally Report 22 Jul 2010 14:59

I am trying to track down Beatrice A Davis. I believe she was born in 1907 and may be a sister to Amelia Florence Davis b 1904 - both born in Bristol. Parents are meant to be William and Florence Davis.

Is anyone able to check the 1911 Census for me? I know it's not a lot to go on, but this family is confusing me :O)

Many thanks in advance

Hello Sally

Glad it helped, never been called an Angel before, not what my wife calls me anyway.LOL

Just another piece of info from the original which i firgot to add.

They had 6 children all living still as shown on the 1911 census,

I also note that the Father William is not shown on this record, so could this be him?

LOL George, an angel with horns maybe then??

It certainly looks like him in this census doesn't it!

Wonder what they were all doing there? Maybe having to work away from home to make money - especially with all those children!

They went on to have three more - twins in 1913, and another son in 1916. My grandmother was one born in 1913 and my own mum said that her mothers twin died young.

Thank you for that additional info! The plot thickens!
