Robert Davies married Annie Williams  25 Dec 1888 he was aged 38 Annie was 26, also when my grandfather was born in 1897 his father is Robert William Davies so Robert and had a middle name.

Possible marriage for John DAVIES in 1872 to Ann ROBERTS.  Father Edward a labourer, witnesses Robert WILLIAMS and Ann JONES.

This couple match this family in 1881:

Births for all the named children have mother's maiden surname as ROBERTS.  The youngest child is mistranscribed, he is Richard Nathan, not Richard William.

John's occupation varies; a Porter in 1871, Butcher when he married and Stevedore in 1881.

Thanks Debra your a gem, have you ever come across a situation where a child has not been registered or baptised?

Not all religious denominations practice infant baptism - so, not finding a baptism is fairly common.
Neither my daughters, nor my grandchildren have been baptised.

After 1874, parents could be fined for not registering a birth.
Before that the onus was on the Registrar to collect information.

Thanks for your input the reason I ask is I have a direct line who is the only child of 8 not Registered or baptised which I find odd.

I think you mean that there is one child of 8, for which you have not yet found a Birth Registration or Baptism.
