DAVIS family Ballarat Victoria

That's good! Nora and William may have been at that address prior to 1954, but there's gaps in the electoral years on Ancestry. They seem to move around a lot in the 1930s and 40s, I can post all available places and occupations if needed.

Thanks Matthew.

We know very little about William and Norah - so that may be helpful.

Can't find a birth for William at Echuca - might look over the river.

Much appreciated

Have you purchased and downloaded the 1929 DAVIS/ LANIGAN marriage certificate?
The details on it should give the parental names of the bride &  bridegroom and much more.

Thanks Sue.

That may be the best way to go.

Walter DAVIS is an extremely famous Ballarat name.  Probably not the same family but here you are...

Yes, I had wondered also but no.
