Oh interesting. Maybe he's older than I thought and that's why I found it hard to find a birth record for him. If it was a '5' instead of an '3' that'd put his birth year at 1795, rather than 1816.

Edit: There's a baptism for a George Davis in Much Wenlock in 1793 - but I'm wondering if that might be a tad too early.

Anc has George born c 1813, age 38, in 1851 Census.
It may be age 58.

Are they mistranscribed in 1861 as I cant find the Census on Anc.

Can you type it up for me please?

You may have to get that 1846 M/C to confirm Georges Fathers name/occp.

Looks like George was married before?

1841 Census
Highley
Thos Norsey, 65, Lab
Sarah Norsey, 63
Thos Jey, 31
Jno Morris, 15, Lab
GEO Davis, 46, Lab*****
Mary Davis, 43
Elizth Berrie, 15, Servant
Jno Davis, 10
Mary Davis, 6

Not sure how this helps at the moment but may be Marriage of Thomas;

17 February 1795, Much Wenlock, Shropshire
Thomas NORRY to Sarah SMALLMAN

Oh wow! Thanks for doing all that searching for me, Trish, those are some amazing finds!

Just for me to double check and make sure I'm following you correctly:

So Richard Davis and Mary Smallman marry in Much Wenlock in 1783 - they would be my 4x great grandparents.

They have George, my 3x great grandfather in 1793. He marries someone called Mary and by 1841 they are living with his aunt and Uncle Thomas Norrey and Sarah Smallman (George's mother's sister) in highley.

Mary dies in 1842, and in 1846 he marries Maria Jackson, also widowed, in Highley.

That's an amazing find! Thanks again!  ;D

I'm interested that the Norrey's are listed as having a servant. I wonder if they had a bit of money?
