Rebecca and Esther Davi(e)s
« on: Friday 23 March 12 08:59 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I wonder if anyone could help find who Rebecca and Esther Davis's father was. I have Rebecca's marriage to John Statham Dec Q 1898 West Bromwich.  She was born in Wolverhampton.  She is my great great aunt.   Her sister, Esther, married John William Baker but only had ____ Davis, occupation unknown on her marriage cert.  I thought if I could find out what was on Rebecca's marriage cert it would help with Esther.  I have seen postings regarding father's names and occupations on here and would be grateful for any help
Regards Marie

Thank you for the census.  I have had a look at the previous censuses for that family but just would like to "prove" who their father was and that I have the right family. (belt and braces moment as there are so many Davies!)  I am used to unusual names and finding it quite hard.
Would you presume this is the right family?

without buying birth certificates you would assume John is the father.
