I am trying to find out information on William Alexander Davies. I have no idea where he was born. He had a daughter called Edna, born 1900, who I believe may have been illigitimate (she is my grandmother) I never met Edna but I have her wedding certificate from 1931. On it she gives William Alexander Davies as her father and his occupation is Forman Joiner. I do not know where Edna was born (or even if she was born davies) but she died in Liverpool in 1955. Edna gave birth to my father Norman Davies in Ripon North Yorshire on July 26th 1921. (I also know there was anouther illigitimate boy born in Ripon in 1919 he was called Ernest and was sent to Leeds for Adoption he was also born crippled. Edna was in Ripon until 1921 and we believe she then went to Liverpool. We do not have her mothers name (it may have been Mary Jane Bland) but we are not sure. We have all the pieces of our jigsaw except her date and place of bitrh and also we cannot trace William Alexander Davies.
