Alice Jane Davies b1881 parents
« on: Saturday 05 May 18 03:31 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have been trying to find more information on Alice Jane Davies (1881-1964) parents.

I Believe they are William Thomas Davies and Elizabeth Brown but I can't find anything else other than their names.

Alice Jane Davies
Born 1881 in Stawell, Vic, Australia
Died 1964 in Ascot, Vic
Married Llewellyn Ronal Roberts in 1904.

Children:
Aneurin Owain Roberts 1905-1985
John Elias Roberts 1907-1997
Llewellyn Ronal Roberts 1913-1992
David Evan Roberts 1914-1975
Lloyd George Roberts 1918-Unknown

Thanks for any help.

On her death registration her father is as you say William Davies, no middle name, but no mother is listed.

Do you have her birth or marriage certificate?

I have been going by the BDM record #21161, the record #18320 is close in location and year but the fathers name doesnt match.

The marriage is #6706 in 1904

People in UK pronounce DAVIES as Davis which is possibly the explanation for the slight change of spelling.

Perhaps this is his death?
1919, Victoria #15841
Wm Thos DAVIS, 64 (b abt 1855)
Death Place:   Ballarat, Victoria
Father's name:   Chas Thos DAVIS
Mother's name:   Sarah SPENDLOW

Adding - this may be the birth registration of this man:

Victoria, 1855, #7725   
William Thomas DAVIS
Born: Victoria
Parents: Chas Thos Davis, Sarah Ashby
