> I have the marriage cert of above when he married Amy Lovell 19 May 1878 Harmondsworth, he was  a Widower age 48, Gardener ,Father name Charles a Farmer.

I haven't found him in 1881 (unless he is the charles Davis with another wife, very much alive? I have spotted what looks like Amy (Eliza?)- though using her mother's name, Eliza, and visiting what looks like her aunt Ann. With her are three children - Edith(Amy) Lovel aged 8, Charles Davis aged 6 and (Albert) Henry Davis aged 1, all born in Harmondsworth. The way they are grouped suggests they are all hers, but this may just be the way Uncle Will did it. In 1891, it seems possibly the couple had changed their first names - the children's names match (including Henrietta, which is pretty distinctive) though the ages are out of kilter and the birthplaces mixed up. Possibly this is a brother using the same forenames and treading close on the heels of Charles as he moves around - which he did a lot. Charles aged 6 in 1881 born Harmondsworth matches in age charles aged 36 in 1911, though why he said he was born in Aylesbury beats me. This needs more investigation before we can be positive.

Might Albert Henry (b.1879) in 1901 be working away or in Boer War in South Africa? He may, of course, be deceased, unless you have him in 1911 or marrying later.
