In reference to my message regarding Thomas Davies born 1861 Herefordshire. thank you for the replies.
He is the the Nephew of James Davies(born 1835 Tupsley,  Herefordshire. His daughter Rose Davies was born in the UK possibly Herefordshire or Nantyglo, Pontlottyn, Blaenafon area.  His father Thomas Davies (born 1841  Tupsley, Herefordshire )was living in the Pontlottyn area 1891. We are not sure when Thomas Davies (born 1861) left for South Africa but Rose Davies his daughter was with him. There is a verbal family story tht his wife ? died during the crossing from the UK to South Africa. Thank you once again to those of you who replied

Hello Haines. thanks for your time and help. The census  does say the George who died in 1896 was born in Clodock but the other census' indicate he was born in Blaenafon. His mother was mary Ann (Powell) Williams was certainly born in Clodock.
i have checked the parish records for Clodock but have been unable to find a birth for George in 1852 at Clodock.. The George who died in 1876 still remains a mystery.
ypur help very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Can some one help? i have a small enigma,  i believe my distant cousins in Australia have researched and entered the wrong George Williams  on their tree. H e was my great uncle. They have him dying in 1876 but i am fairly confident that the correct George Williams died in 1896 , Blaenafon both men died tragically George 1896 died from severe injuries sustain whilst working at Big Pit, the Coronors report actually mentions his father George at being present at the time of the accident.
I have both death certs and the copy for George Williams  who died 10th September 1876  states, occupation was Farm Servant cause of death on coronors report .. found dead killed by a kick of a horse. This happened in the Parish of Llanworth (very dicicult to read) Kilgeddin  (which I think is a few miles from USK. i have found George Williams who died 1896 on the 1871 census and the 1881 census and 1891 census. 1871 census shows living with parents George and Mary Ann William, s  (my great great grandparents)Abergavenny Road.  Occupation haulier.1881 Census Living at Long Rank,  Blaenafon. married to Sarah Ann (Wilkins) Williams, son Issac, George's  occupation Miner,  haulier. The 1891 census shows him to be living at Black House, Blaenafon.
 For years the family appear to be living Abergavenny Road, and Upper Brickyard are of Blaenafon. i can't find any reference to the family living in the Usk area.
i am trying to prove that relatives in Australia have researched the wrong man.

Hello My friend from Australia is thrilled and delighted with the information you have given  him. He will be returning to Australia shortly and can't you for the help you have given him. He is so impressed with the kindness of people on here that he has joined Rootschat, he is very new to researching and he feels that he will get support on this site as he starts to develop his research skills.
He asked me if he could contact from Australia, i am not sure 100% but perhaps someone could tell me if this is possible.

He was wondering if there is any information an Ann Jane Cross and her father Philip Cross of Limerick. He thinks that the reason she came to England was because she had become pregnant and was still a spinster.
i would just like to reiterate my thanks for the help you have afforded him

Very much appreciated folks.

Huge thank you.
