David Davies and Catherine Davies
« on: Thursday 28 July 22 08:57 BST (UK) »
Hi All

I am trying without success to find an ancestor David Davies who with Catherine Davies had a child Evan Davies in 1771 Radnorshire Wales, whilst I have information for Evan and Families I cannot find any information on David or Catherine, no birth no marriage dates etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Following up Colin's great spot.All at the same parish
Siblings
Thomas 24 Feb 1774 so David Davies and Catherine his wife
Edward 3 June 1776
Robert 6 March 1778
Mary Jan 12 th  1781
Jane May 22nd 1784
David Jan 12th 1787
son ? 25 Oct 1788
William June 13th 1792

possible burial for Catherine of Pentrecithorn 12 June 1827 age 79 years born 1748 .
So she would be 23 when Evan was born and 44 on her youngest William's birth.
David 's  24 Sep 1810 has no age given

I can't spot an obvious marriage or baptism for him.

Thank you for your help Colin I did have that information on Evans Birth but that was as far as I could get on David and Catherine, hard without her maiden name too.

Ciderdrinker thank you too as I was only aware of 1 child Evan (most unusual for the times), this has opened up another avenue for me to check out, David seems very elusive to say the least!

I did find this marriage, which I dismissed but given the additional information by Ciderdrinker it might be worth following up.

David Davies widower
Marriage Date:   Marriage 20 Oct 1770
Marriage Place:   Llanllugan, Montgomeryshire, Wales
Residence Place:   Llanwyddelan
Spouse:   Catherine Davies spinster

Both signed x. Witnesses Ann Jones & Soloman Davies, he signed others on that record.
