If you know his birth date then you can phone up the register office and get them to send you a copy of the entry in the general register. it the GRO number (general register office) in the UK. Put www.GRO.co.uk in the computer and see what you get. there is a phone number and you can ring them, they are very helpful and charge for the service about 18 dollars to send you a certificate. the www.1837online.com register of pages will allow you to go through each page of 1923 under the name davies until you get a palce name, a page number and a volume number. As long as you have half of these then the lady at the register office will help you find the entry . If you get a birth certificate entry it will have on it the fathers name and the mothers name and maiden name. Then you put it into the 1901 census and see what you come up with. In the UK the census has a 100 year embargo so 1901 is the latest. If I can help in any other way please let me know and I will try. best wishes mark judge,
