Hunting the missing Davis brothers

[claretaylor22]

I am trying to find out more about the sons on this census entry

Richard E Davis and Herbert William Davis

Enable Cookies - Ancestry.co.uk

I haven't found births for either that I'm happy with and I can't find Richard after 1881.

I have Herbert with the family in 1891 RG12 Piece 2428 Folio 72 page 7
:(
Both are no where to be seen in 1901.

By 1911 Richard P says he has had 7 childern, 4 being dead. So either Richard or Herbert is dead by 1911, but I don't know which.

To make things a bit more complicated on the 1871 census Richard is listed as Edwin. I also have a broach "made by gt uncle Edwin"

Then in 1921 in his will Richard P leaves his watch to his son "Albert" which he doesn't seem to have had as we have it! So has Herbert become Albert and is Richard/Edwin dead

All suggestions gratefully recieved

I think this explains 'Uncle Edwin'...

Davis Richard Edwin Joseph

He marries in 1890...

Marriages Mar 1890

He and Annie are on 1891 and 1901 censuses, with children.

Yes that death does look possible. Hmmm so who the heck is Albert!! I definitely a son as he gets a third of the estate with the daughters!
