my great grandmother born eliza daviesc 1859
in esclusham/rhostyllen
to a james davies 1835 and barbara jones 1839
they also lived in these places and minera is
named
barbara has a brother elias c1845 died in mining
accident. in minera
eliza marries a john davies from this area.
in 1881 they are in co durham and have their
child jane (my grandmother) who is 1.
they go on to have richard and mary. their
is also of a record of a sibling dorothy older who seems to
have lived with barbara and james and not gone
to durham.
by 1901 eliza has married on the census a john
hughes from esclusham who is 37 making him born
c 1864 and they have sons enoch john thomas, james
and possibly edwin.
however their marriage in durham in 1888 lists
john hughes as john hughes jones.
does anyone know who he was or what happened
to their boys- also dorothy,richard and mary davies??
also i can't find eliza's first husband john davies
birth certificate - again anyone know his family.?
they all at some point may have moved to newbiggin
northumberland - miners
james and barbara also later moved to the north east.
