liverpool marriage.

[Red Tom]

Hello folks, I am seeking help again with another obstacle to my research.
I can find no trace of the marriage of Thomas Davies birth unknown, and Mary Power,c1846 born Liverpool.As I have it, their first 4 children were born L/pool, their last in Garston. Lancs.
Can anyone help?

I'm sorry Heather, I was sloppy there, the date of 1846 is the year of Mary Power's birth,and Heywood, I have Mary and some of her children in Garston,Lancs for the 1881 census, by which time Thomas had died (possibly at sea,as he was a mariner).
The only child I have a birth cert for is Robert, born Garston.22/12/1877, which is where I discovered Mary's maiden name.

Hiya Tom -
Thomas Davies
Mary Power ..................very common names in Garston - and obviously Liverpool
are you sure that the first 4 - and Robert are the same parents ??...could easily be 2 sets of parents with the same names ...do you have them all in 1881 census in Garston - if so does it not give Thomas`s birth place ?

Hello again Alan, I've got Mary and her children in 1881, the first four being born in L/pool, and the youngest in Garston. Mary is Head of household , as by now she is widowed. I've posted previously in an attempt to discover about her husband, but I only recently got Robert's birth cert, so it's the marriage I'm trying to follow so as to discover more re Thomas the husband,but I can find no sight in my feeble efforts so far.

There is a baptism for Joannis (John) Davis, 27 February 1873 with parents Thomas Davis and Mary Power - St Joseph's.

That's one of the children as I have it (so far),the others are -Elizabeth c1869/Margaret c1871/(John c1873)/Thomas c1874 (all born Liverpool) and Robert born 22/12/1877, Garston.
I've searched for marriages post 1869 in Liverpool, but family lore has a Welsh man somewhere in the mix, and given that Thomas Davies was a mariner??....,but I'm hoping that isn't the case and the marriage took place in Liverpool.Oddly, I came across a baptism for a Robert Davies in Everton in 1881, but have discounted it as a red herring.

John Davis was baptised at St Joseph's - godmother Mary Ann Stafford

There is a baptism for Elizabeth Davis 15th January 1870 but birth is 1st July 1868 and the godmother is Catherine Stafford.

22nd August 1870 Margaret Davies -parents Thomas and Mary at the same church- godmother Margaret Connell  but not sure if this is the same family.

I can't see these children though in 1871
