Hello Mona
No Benjamin married an Elizabeth Mary Selway on 14 November 1886 in Neath,
Glamorgan and started several business's and did very well. Benjamin has a
chapter in a book titled Port Talbot , A Gallery of Past Personalities. The
chapter details some of his business's . I have the family well documented
from the Marriage in 1886 . John Davies died June 1/4 1871 by which time the
couple had David born abt 1862, Benjamin abt 1864 and Mary Ann abt 1869. On
the 1881 census Margaret is living at 48 High Street, Llanelly with the
children and and two Boarders one named Elizabeth Davies aged 74 born
Llanelly.

Could Benjamin have emigrated to the US? Or do you find him on a later
census in
Wales?
Many copper workers came to the US from that area.
