Could the marriage have been in England?

The 'FreeBMD' website search facility brings back a possible match on names registered at Dewsbury, Dec 1889, Vol 9b, Page 1010, two of the names being Richard Davis and Fanny Eyres.


Following up on this, a 23 year old bachelor named Richard Davis, labourer, Cleckheaton, married 20 year old spinster Fanny 'Eyres', Cleckheaton, on Christmas Day, 1889, in the parish church of Birstall in the county of York.

The fathers were recorded as Michael Davis, joiner, and Henry Eyres, labourer. A Sarah Eyres was one of the witnesses.

So looking promising for ciderdrinker's post at reply #4.

1881 - Henry and Mary Aeyres  x both born Cornwall but later censuses have ‘Goray’ and Ireland.
The children have mmn Farrar

Hi,
     Many thanks to all for the information found so far. My wife's grandfather Richard Davis was born to Richard and Fanny Davis after the 1911 census, I can find a birth record for his brother John born in 1914 but not Richard. Did find marriage record for Richard Davis to Catherine Barcoe in 1934  at Sandyford where my mother in law Frances Teresa Davis  grew up. Richard moved from  Wicklow to Dublin to work and stayed in the house of his elder brother William Davis which was the original Sandyford House in Sandyford. Here he met and married  Catherine Barcoe a niece of his brother Williams wife. Am confused no birth record for Richard.

What year was Richard born?
Have you got John in later years?

Hi,
     My starting here is my mother in law  Frances Teresa Davis born 1938.She is In good health but her memory is a bit sketchy.She is fascinated by what has been discovered here. She is very vague on precise dates,however tells me her father Richard  was in his 90s when he passed away in mid 2000s. He married in 1934 and doubt was younger than 20 when he married,hence think born between 1911 and 1914,I found the actual birth registration  details for family member James born 1911 on census.This means 1911 is possible.I am being discreet here,follows on from the  thread and topic started here on rootschat  in 2010.However  posters who began topic in 2010 have been inactive on this site  for many years.
Many thanks

Never thought of Doris.
