I have just got back into contact with a second cousin on my dad's paternal line and have just realised that I haven't really looked into the family of the great grandmother we both share :o
Her name is Mercy Maria Davies born in 1875 in Hampshire.
Here she is in 1881 with her parents http://search.ancestry.co.uk/browse/...ln=Davies&st=g
When she married my great grandfather, Gilbert Eldridge, in Arlington, Sussex, on 2nd Sept 1895, her father's name is given as William James Davies, Coachman/gardener.
Here's her parents in 1901 http://search.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/...lfriston.ALL.4.
I think I've found her mother Mercy's death in Eastbourne (where Mercy & Gilbert lived) in 1908.
William James is James W on the 1901 census, so it appears that he uses both names.
Please can you help me find William J or James W Davies in the census returns for 1851/1861/1871 as I can't find him, as well as his marriage to Mercy and her birth please. Also I can't find Mercy junior (born 1875) in 1891???
Many thanks for your help!
