Devon / Re: High Bray look up request DAVIES COMPLETED

it does say John

which would make John b1821 Ystrad, Cardiganshire, son of Rachel and Thomas the logical answer

part of me was quietly hoping Henry was a Henry John, I still think he's part of the tree, just maybe not on the branch I thought he might have been

thanks again

complicated is one word for it,  I think it's a complete mess and I'm very grateful to you all for looking

I thought exploring other family members might help and then started looking for any John Davies b1860 in the area, found the Henry from High Bray with a Margaret and a baby John so wondered who he was

sorry for any confusion

I think I know that tree  :-[ especially if you search it for a Violet and find one near Pembroke

I've been running crazy on there trying to find puzzle pieces and have filled a couple of people on it with anything that may or may not fit

thank you osprey

I started digging around for the Jenkin Davies on one of the censuses with Thomas and Rachel, ended up in Cardiganshire with several names, places, and dates that match other documents, melted my brain a little in the process as there are a lot of Thomas, John, Rachel, and Marys but it does look like it all fits

time to switch from coffee to gin, thank you so very much for your help everyone

could I be really cheeky and ask if you can see any records for

Jenkin Davies b1853 or Mary Davies b1856 Ystrad

I'm wondering if they all share the same father if they're grandchildren of Thomas and Rachel. I can see index listings for those dates but have no idea how to read them

I think this is where I get a bit snap happy with the puzzle pieces

I tried mapping where the children on that 1841 census went and thats, where I think I have jumped a big gap in wondering if the Margaret Davies with Henry from HighBray in 1961 might be the same Margaret, daughter of Thomas and Rachel although the 1841 has her as b1838 and the 1861, has her as b1835

and having had another look, I'm not sure the 1851 census I found is the right one because there is another Thomas and Rachel Davies listing with a son John b1835

... going to need a bigger pot of coffee

the link seemed to come up twice so I separated it and clicked it, thank you for finding it wilcoxon

I did try looking for an obituary wondering if a list of mourners might give some clues but I didn't get very far.

osprey, I keep being drawn back to an 11 year old John Davies listed as a grandson with a Thomas and Rachel Davies in 1871, so then tried to work out if they had children and where their children might have been in 1861, there is a Margaret b1835 with a Henry Davies from High Bray and a baby John Davies but I'm worried I'm trying to hammer pieces into a puzzle to make them fit.

I think it's going to remain a mystery but do appreciate everyone's input
