Hi Alison
This information that Ozibird sent me is correct but I had already colllected this (but it had taken me a long time!)
Still no further foward on William Davis but I am continuing my search.
If you have any other suggestions that would be helpful.

Best wishes

Richard

No other variant of Davis for births in Romsey before 1851.

Mottisfont & Dunbridge railway station is a small station in the village of Dunbridge, Hampshire situated on the Wessex Main Line.
It is the closest railway station to Mottisfont Abbey and the village of Mottisfont, and the station was renamed Mottisfont & Dunbridge in 2006 to reflect this. It was previously known simply as "Dunbridge".

This is the reg'n district for Cubbington.

Marriages Jun 1868
Bishop Jane Warwick 6d 643
Burgess William Warwick 6d 643
Davis Richard Warwick 6d 643 <<<<<
Heath Emma Warwick 6d 643 <<<<<

No nearer to finding him in Hampshire with his parents.

I'm presuming this is him. I would say Richard has his marriage cert as he knows father's name & occupation.

Hi Richard,

What information have you got on Richard? Date of Birth! Mother?

Might help in the search for his father William

Alison

My great grandfather William Davis , father of Richard Davis born Dunbridge July 1845 was the stationmaster at either Dunbridge or Dundridge or Dean or possible Bishops Waltham , Hants in 1868.
He was living at Dunbridge in 1845.
We have done all the usual searches and have not been able to find any information on him or his wife etc.
We do have information on Richard Davis his son.
Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.
We are in Montana, USA
Thank you and best wishes

Richard J Davis
