Hi Robert & Karen

I think this is the family in 1891 in Abingdon - court off West St Helens Street

Davy, Thomas abt 1864 Chelsea Pimlico, London, England Head  - House decorator
Davy, Ann A abt 1863 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Wife - tailoress at clothing factory
Davy, Tom abt 1882 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son 
Davy, Florence E abt 1884 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter 
Davy, Albert V abt 1891 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son 
Davy, George H abt 1890 Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son 

 and here they are in 1901 - wrongly indexed as Darcy - Court 11 off Ock Street

Tom Davy abt 1864  Chelsea, London, England Head   
Annie Davy abt 1863  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Wife
George Davy abt 1890  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son 
Frank Davy abt 1893  Ilsley, Berkshire, England Son   
Percy Davy abt 1894  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son 
Arthur Davy abt 1897  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son 
Lily Davy abt 1899  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Daughter
Jack Davy abt 1900  Abingdon, Berkshire, England Son

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for the info on Thomas Davy, the second lot of info in the first post seems to be the one i am after because it has Jack Davy in it. I have Jacks birth certificate and the address corresponds as 11 Ock St in 1901. There is one sister to Jack that is missing her name is Violet, Jack was the youngest. Jack, Violet and I think Thomas, all came to Australia around 1920 and lived in North Sydney in the same street for years. Jack was my grandfather.
Once again thanks
Robert & Karon

Hi

I think you will find that both lots of info in the first post refer to the same family - the first lot being them in 1891 (before Jack was born) and the second being in 1901 after Jack was born.  The marriage is also theirs - do you want to go any further back? I have some other Abingdon records which might help if you do

Hi Debbie

Yes I would like to go back as far as possible because there is no one left alive here that remembers anything more than Jacks Birthday and family members who lived in the same street.
I dont think people back 50 years were ever concerned about family history or where their roots came from.

Thanks again,
Robert and Karon

Good Morning from England


Here is Jacks father Thomas from the  1881 census before he was married so with his mother & father Thomas & Elizabeth

Stert Street Two Brewers Inn, Abingdon St Nicholas, Berkshire, England

Thos. Davy abt 1831  Yorkshire, England Head 
Elizth. Davy abt 1843  Wiltshire, England Wife   
Thos. Davy abt 1864  London Pimlico, London, Middlesex, England Son  Nicholas, Berkshire, England 
Joseph Smith abt 1820  Culham, Oxfordshire, England Lodger 


After some searching I managed to find what I am pretty sure is them  (with Davy spelt Davey) in the 1871 census -
In the Tower of London

don't  panic - it seems Thomas Davy snr was a soldier before he retired to Abingdon to run the pub

from 1871 St Botolph without Aldgate  London   - The Tower

Thomas Davey abt 1830  Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, England Head 
 Elizabeth Davey abt 1842  Wambrook, Wiltshire, England Wife   
Thomas Davey abt 1864  Chelsea, Middlesex, England Son 


I was pleased to find this because it gives an actual place of birth for Thomas Davy snr rather than just Yoprkshire (Yorkshire is a big county)

He is also there in 1861 as an umarried solder - the same birthplace given


Hope you find this lot interesting

Debbie
