Hi, Thank you for the information on the Blight family now I would like to trace the Davis side of the family. Arthur Joseph Davis was my Grandfather he married Elizabeth Jane Blight 9th Oct 1897 in Wilmington.
His Father was Thomas Davis. I have a letter sent to my Aunty June 1996 from the District Council of Mount Remarkable saying they have installed a plaque in the Melrose cemetery for Thomas Hand Davis and Helena Davis. Thomas Hand Davis and Helena Davis married later in life, he was a younger brother of Thomas Davis her first husband.
I have some information on a Thomas Davis m Matilda Watts in England. They set sail for Australia on 31 Jan 1849 from Plymouth on the ship Stebonheath arrived Sth Aus 11th May 1849. They had 3 children Elizabeth, Thomas and Walter. Trying to find out if this is the right family.
