Hi Listers, This is my first request on this list, so bear with me. I'm trying to find information regarding the birth and marriage of my gggrandfather, Thomas Richard Davies. He was born in Wales, circa 1919. I have a record of his death as follows: Thomas Richard Davies, died 28 September 1873, age 54, buried at Ararat Baptist Cemetery, Whitchurch, Glamorgan, Wales. However, my Gen Soc cannot locate his death record on the St Caths Index. He is listed as a House Proprietor, Ely Road, Canton on his son's birth cert. and listed as a master-mariner living in Canton, Cardiff on his son's marr cert. I know that he died before 1881 as his widow had remarried and was living in Pembroke House, Llandaff, Cardiff with her 2nd husband, Thomas Williams(also a retired master-mariner)and the children. His wife's maiden name was Martha Davies(yes, a Davies/Davies marr.), who was born in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, Wales. I have no information on her either, except that she was born ca 1833. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated, perhaps if someone could check the 1871 census for Cardiff, this might at least give me a place to start. With anticipation Rosie from a beautiful spring day in Warwick, Qld, Aust.
