Rachel Cartwright Davies

[Lacyjules]

Rachel Cartwright Davies born 1869 in Wem, Shropshire. I am looking for information regarding her family. I think her father 's name was either Richard or Robert Davies. Rachel married Harry Nicholas in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. After they married they relocated to Chester, Cheshire and went on to have 3 children Monica, Harry Norman and Horace. Rachel was my great grandmother. Any information relating to Rachel's ancestors would be welcomed especially her parents or siblings. I hope someone can help fill in the gaps. Many thanks

Welcome to Rootschat!

Marriage register gives her father as Richard Davies, gardener, her address Bellevue Road, witnesses  William Sayce & Sarah Weaver.

A big thank you to all who posted a reply I am very grateful to you all. Rachel was my great grandmother and I am looking for information on behalf of my mum as we know very few details regarding Rachel's life before she married my great grandfather I did find the Lomax family information but I was unsure of whether it related to Rachel. Many thanks.
