Why not try sending for Harold Davies wedding certificate to his second wife? This would give his fathers name and trade . It would be a start in locating him in the 1901 census, once you have this information. Good luck Mike Morris Toronto Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendy Davies To: ENG-LANCS-PRESTON-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 11:33 AM Subject: New Lister. Hi all, I am trying to trace my husbands family and have only got as far as his Grandfather . The info that I have is as follows: Harold Davies , Born 1906 possibly in Chorley. Died 5 Aug 1970 in Chorley. He was married twice, no idea who to the first time but his second wife was Rose Barnes of Chorley. He lived at Moor Road Chorley all of my husbands father's life, ( from at least 1942). I'm totally stuck ,so any help would be much appreciated. Wendy in a sunny Cornwall. ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
