Alice Davies -

[Jackarmy1]

Hi,  I'm looking to find Alice Davies (sometimes Davis) mothers maiden name. What I know so far is Alice married Charles Henry Jinks in 1907. Her father was named on the marriage cert as William Davis. I've picked up the family on the 1891 census living at Victor St,  Stoke On Trent.
Family details are

Head William Davis 1846
Wife Charlotte E Davis 1861
Dau Mary E Davis 1880
Dau Alice Davis 1885 Hanley
Son John Davis 1888
Dau Edith Davies 1891, bap 1893.

Maybe I'm having a dull moment but, I can't find any other birth details for any of the children nor any other baptisms.
Is anyone able to locate any details on Charlotte E or even when she married  William please, many thanks in advance as always  - richard

Maybe:

DAVIS, ALICE mmn EDGE
GRO Reference: 1885  J Quarter in STOKE UPON TRENT  Volume 06B  Page 222

Maybe not, a William marries an Eliza Ann Edge in 1882.

Here is the family, as mentioned, on the 1891: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WWX6-4W2

Another child William was baptised at the same time as Edith
Baptised 19th April 1893 Wellington, Hanley
Edith born 23rd June 1890
William born 1st April 1893
Abode 10 Back West Street


It looks like they didn't marry and Charlotte's surname was Rigby
1901 Stoke
Charlotte E Rigby
Mary Rigby
Alice Rigby
John W Rigby 
Edith Rigby
William Rigby
Lily Rigby Grandaughter, must be Alice's child
Details fit with 1891 census and 1911 which is a mix of Davis & Rigby

Likely birth regs
Mary Elizabeth Rigby 4/1881
Alice Elizabeth Rigby 1/1885 matches 1939 Register dob
John William Rigby 2/1888
all Stoke on Trent mmn Rigby

Only Edith is Edith Davies 3/1890 Stoke on Trent mmn Rigby

William Rigby 3/1892 Stoke on Trent mmn Rigby
The birth year on his baptism was 1893 but could be a mistake as the year was 1893

Thanks both, the 1901 census looks correct but why are the children given the surname Davis on the 1891 register but Rigby on the 1901 ?

Charlotte on the 1881, possibly:

Hi Jamjar, I'm not registered on family search, is that the Vine St address in 1881 ?
