Is there anyone out there who has a connection to a Mary Davies, formerly Davies, born
about 1830 or 1835, married (?) to a William Davies, an "Iron Baller" who lived
on Tredegar Road, Rumney, Monmouth, in 1859. They had four children. The oldest, Polly
was born abt 1855, Priscilla, born about 1857, William, born abt 1859, and Sarah Jane,
born in 1862. They were all supposedly born in Ebbw Vale. They at least lived there for
awhile. Mary Davies is shown on an 1871 census in Ebbw Vale as living with an unmarried
brother named - would you believe - William Davies! Sarah Jane Davies is my
great-grandmother. She and her husband, James Brace, immigrated to Pennsylvania about
1881. Sarah Jane states in a biography that she never knew her father. I don't know
if he died when she was young, or before she was born, but the father is not listed on
Sarah Jane's birth certificate. If anyone has any connection to any of the above four
children, I would greatly appreciate any further information on their parentage.
Thanks. Joyce Morgan
