However the william born to Henry Davies and Hannah williams was William Lewis. Henry Davies of 70 Victoria Street had Henry 1856, crickhowell, Mary 1859 Goitre, William 1862 samuel 1864 and thomas 1869. Abergavenny is a town but also an area where births are registered. Put William Henry Davies in the search engine and see what comes up. I check the registry pages in www.1837online.com in the UK, but I do not know if that is possible in the states. Tap it in and try. You pay by credit card for 100 pages, it is not expensive. Davies is a very very common name in wales so I had a lot of trouble finding my family. I sent off for a certificate for a william Davies, and it came back william henry davies who married isabella robinson may 16th 1883 in Salford. I thought I had all the right names but it was not right, which was dissapointing. I have done this for a year and found what I wanted. I worked backwords, and got wedding certificates, and then worked out the fathers names and so on. I wish you luck best wishes mark judge
