davis of grimscote

[walkerlad]

hello everyone
i have just discovered after 10 years that i have made a mistake with a link to my davis family tree
i had william davis 1880 born in oldham, lancashire.
i have just discovered he was born in 1880 in openshaw in lancashire and his father samuel davis 1853 was born in grimescote in northampton and his father william 1823 was born in fosters booth northampton. i have found them on the census of 1851-1891, but have not been able to find william davis born 1823 baptism or his marriage to a elizabeth !!! there first child is john born 1843 i think.
the areas were they resided are : fosters booth, grimscote, eastcote, astcote,kislingbury.
there occupation varied from boot cleaners/polishers/maker
to agricultural labourer.
if any one could find any further information on this family, ie: baptism etc as i have not been able to find any parish records for that area, yet on the 1851 census there seems to be other davis families, which could well be william davis 1823 brothers or parents.

any help would be much appreciated
kindest regards
michael

In 1851 the registration area where they lived is Towcester.
 In 1842 there is a reference to a William Davis marrying an Elizabeth registered in Towcester. Perhap this is him? Have you seen this? There is, however, a birth registered for a John Davis ending Sept 1842 in Towester. Trouble is - it is such a common name.

Hi walkerlad

31st Oct 1842 Pattishall William DAVIS otp, bachelor, age 19, labourer, father Joseph, labourer Elizabeth MARRIOTT of Astcott, spinster, age 19, father John, labourer

The places are correct but wrong father re: your information.

7-Jun 1841 Lutton BT's William DAVIS of Washingley, bachelor, of full age, labourer, father Samuel, labourer Elizabeth BAKER of Washingley, spinster, of full age, father William, labourer 

Astcote, Dunscote, Grimscote, Eastcote etc are tiny hamlets in the area of Fosters Booth and Pattishall (being the largest area) district.

Perhaps the best option would be to send for one of the children's birth certs which will record Elizabeth's surname

Here is another one which must be theirs, hopefully

hello tricia
i cant find any of the childrens birth recorded, i thought with a unusual name of ellis born c1850 that would stick out, my link is samuel davis 1853 grimscote.

Do you actually have the 1851 census record for William?
