Good find Rose..........thats why I urged Roger to get the marriage cert. for confirmation.

Davis/Davies.......I hate those interchangable names don`t you??



Births Jun 1886 (>99%)

Davis Emma Cannock 6b 545



Cannock covers Great Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay


There are no entries for Emma Davies in Cannock reg. district. for 1885-1888,

Though there is an Emma Salome Davies birth registered in 1884 in Cannock.

The problem with Davis is that it's interchangeable with Davies.

The Davis family is listed under Davies in 1881. In 1901, Alfred and Rose are also Davies.

There's this one which could be the Emma Somerfield in 1911 also.

You would need to order the cert. to confirm if this is the correct Emma Davis...with such a common name it would be difficult to pinpoint the correct person any other way. There are many Emma Davis marriages between 1901 and 1911

EDIT....Looks like they could be same area...found by googleing

Great Wyrley lies just under two-and-a-half miles south of Cannock, just under two miles east of Cheslyn Hay, and six-and-a-half miles north of Walsall.
