HI Annette
I have checked 1851 census for the areas that I have indexed (80,000+) and
can only find 2 Silvanus Davi/es in the index....
Neither fit the bill, one is a 70 year old farmer in Llanboidy wife wife
Rachel....the other a 32 year old farmer in LLandissilio with no son
Thomas.....

Subject: [Cmn-L] THOMAS DAVIES/DAVIS
Hi all listers
I am trying to find information on my husband's Great Grandfather THOMAS
DAVIES. There are so many of them it is a nightmare!!
Thomas was born about 1845 and arrived in Australia before 1874.His
marriage cert.
gives his father as SILVANAS
His eldest son was named DAVID SYLVANUS DAVIES but later children were
DAVIS.
Thomas's death cert. in 1898 gives his name as THOMAS SYLVANUS DAVIES and
his
birthplace as BANCYFELIN, CARMARTHENSHIRE but his daughter's birth
cert.gives his birthplace as CARDIFF.
Other certificates have his name as THOMAS DANIEL DAVIES or THOMAS DAVIS.
The IGI has him listed as THOMAS DANIEL DAVIS and has his birth listed as
1838 in
Kalgoorlie Australia but Kalgoorlie didn't exist then.
Do any of these names seem familiar to anybody.
Some kind people have checked the 1851 Census but all the SILVANAS or
SYLVANUS
DAVIES OR DAVIS are either unmarried, underage or don't have a
child THOMAS listed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Annette Davis
