HRH William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland is rumoured to be the father of Ms Davey following an affair with the daughter of an unknown Scottish soldier.
Does anyone have any further info re the daughter/mother.

Someone else on genes has her in their tree.
Have you contacted them?

There seems to be an awful lot of information on google searches.

Added:
She is showing on 1841 under her married name.
I must cycle past her house on my way to work every day, but I think it has been demolished. Though there are some strange 'conversions' along there. You can probably use google maps to get street view of the road.

Welcome to the Community boards Bob.




As Bob is a new poster, I'll send him a friendly message on how to return to this thread. :-)

Thanx for the help. Bob B

This thread rings a bell?

You would be better off bob if you put the old thread back up so ,we do not search over the same ground as last time :-)

Midlothian (Edinburgh), Scotland, Extracted Parish Records about Suckling, William, Jun. Miss Wibrow James Davey

Book: Volume 5. The Register of Marriages. (Marriage)
Collection: Midlothian: Edinburgh - Register of Marriages, 1751-1800


This is the marriage that has been attached to her.


EDIT I see from your ancestry account that you have written this was just a cover for the fact that she was William's daughter.

I suppose you have also seen this?

Hi alviegal,

I have seen most of the above information you have provided, except the detail re Wybrew Flora Davey's mother having three children before reaching 18 years of age.

Most of the Ancestors members seem to believe that WFD's mother was born C1730 & WFD C1760. (1760 - 18 = C1742) . Do you have any definitive info regarding thease birth dates???

Many thanks for the details provided.

My tree is the Bridgewood Family Tree and by some quirk of fate I am related to Nelson's mother & to the Walpole line including The 1st Lord of the Treasury , Sir Robert Walpole. B. 1676 - 1745.
