My first knowledge of Thomas DAVIS is when he married Ellen Jane JAMES in 24 April 1878, but where had Thomas DAVIS come from?
His marriage certificate says he was born England, 43 a widower, he is a carpenter living at North Adelaide and his father was Charles DAVIS.
His wife was Ellen Jane JAMES 25, spinster, living North Adelaide, the daughter of William James. They both signed their names.
In 2nd March 1879 a son Henry Malcolm DAVIS was born to the couple, the certificate now says he is a builder, living at Brompton.
In 1881 his wife Ellen died in hospital, probably in childbirth.
The son Henry Malcolm DAVIS was placed in care as a State Ward until he was 12 years old.
On 8th March 1884 Thomas DAVIS married again, aged 45, widower, builder, living at Stepney, father Charles DAVIS.
To Susan SMITH age 30, spinster, living at Stepney, father name William SMITH.
If he was born in England, why can’t I find him in England?
How did he get to Adelaide, South Australia?
When did he arrive in Adelaide?
Did he come with family to Adelaide?
Where do I find death date?
