Hello all, there were probably loads of David Davieses in Cockett. Mine was
born in 1830 and in 1881 he and his wife margaret lived at 3 Bowens Row
Cockett, children Ann 1863 thomas 1859 matilda 1865 Catherine 1870 and
margaret 1872. Just in case anyone sees a connection! Thanks, Chris

Hi List and Jeff, sorry I couldn't remember your name Jeff, but I
do
believe it was you who got me this far with my Davies line in the first
place. The excerpts from the 1891 and 1901 were all that was sent to me, I
printed them in their entirety. I don't know if Cockett Sketty would be
considered Swansea Higher.
Thanks All
