Does this sound familiar to anyone?? Someone must know this family....well heres hoping anyway, have a great day all :-) I for sometime now have been working on my own and my stepmums family tree (Davis). We have had a lot of real mysteries as you can well imagine and know when you start dabbling into this sort of thing. Her father Hobart Vivian DAVIS, born 19 August 1886 at Fingal, NE Tasmania. His name is actually recorded as Hobart Verian DAVIS and the reference is 1886/1527/33. Parents are George Alexander DAVIS and Sarah Ann CRAWLEY, went missing back in 1956 (from christchurch,NZ) without trace and still to this day we have never found out what happened to him which is very sad, perhaps he went back to Australia to die, who knows?, but there have never been records found here for him unless he died with using another name which in that case we will probably never find him. There was a trace done for him through the salvation army, the police missing persons reports and still nothing!!! I am trying to gift my stepmum with the knowledge of what happened to her father before she too passes away, but with much difficulty. Hobart never spoke much of his immediate family but I wondered if anyone knows anything of this Davis family? I have on site <outbind://7/www.geocities.com/lucyz_nz> www.geocities.com/lucyz_nz how our Davis lot go. There where a lot of them that apparently came originally from Wales, and a lot that resided here in New Zealand as well. If you have ever heard of or know any little amount of info if you have time to reply to me it would be much appreciated. I would especially just like to thank you for taking your time to read this email. Kind Regards Sheryl www.geocities.com/anika662000/ Snelleksz Family www.geocities.com/lucyz_nz/ Davis Family
