Hello garstonite!

Yes, I think that's my ancestor John; there are three John Davies/Davis born in Colwall at around the right time, but John's marriage certificate to Maria Kempsey in 1846 reveals that his father was also called John; the other two possible Johns were the sons of single mothers, so I've assumed that John and Phoebe are his parents. I presume Phoebe wouldn't be on the 1841 census would she? I don't know when she died, but I can't see her name on the burial records for Colwall between 1813 and 1863... Either she died before 1813, after 1863, or else remarried or died elsewhere.

Thank you for your ongoing help :)
