I wonder if clues are provided by the naming of her children. She mattered David REES, and the children were:
1. Richard Davey REES (b. 18 Jun 1891)
2. Elizabeth REES (b. 13 Mar 1893)
3. Christina REES (b. 27 Apr 1895)
4. Percy REES (b. 10 Feb 1899)

unfortunately Percy died at six weeks old.

Now David's parents were Richard & Christina, so family connections account for the naming of the first 3 kids. But where does the name Percy come from? not a name I have encountered anywhere else in the family tree. could there be a Percy Davey somewhere?

Just revisiting this one.

I am now convinced Eliza Davey of Linkinhorne is the one I am looking for. My apologies to all for having my head in the sand over this.
