Hi
I wonder if anyone could help find who Rebecca and Esther Davis's father was. I have Rebecca's marriage to John Statham Dec Q 1898 West Bromwich. She was born in Wolverhampton. She is my great great aunt. Her sister, Esther, married John William Baker but only had ____ Davis, occupation unknown on her marriage cert. I thought if I could find out what was on Rebecca's marriage cert it would help with Esther. I have seen postings regarding father's names and occupations on here and would be grateful for any help
Regards Marie

Thank you for the census. I have had a look at the previous censuses for that family but just would like to "prove" who their father was and that I have the right family. (belt and braces moment as there are so many Davies!) I am used to unusual names and finding it quite hard.
Would you presume this is the right family?

without buying birth certificates you would assume John is the father.
