Surnames: Davies Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/HNR.2ACEB/1244 Message Board Post: My great grandfather was called Thomas Davies. He married Sophia Collins in 1870 in London and they had three boys - Thomas Ayliffe, Arthur Edward and Nelson Henry Charles. Thomas Davies was a butler/servant/valet. On his marriage certificate he is of "full age" and does not appear on any of the censuses with his wife. Can anyone help me to find him please? He may have been born in Herefordshire around 1835 but I am not certain about this.
