Albert Davies 1861 - 1924 - Forest of Dean FHT Forum

Hello,
Please forgive me as im new to all of this.
Can anyone help me find out any information on Albert Davies (born with the E died without the E!!) Born 1861 in Berrow, Worcestershire but died in Newent on the 29th June 1924.
I know Albert (my Great Grandfather) is buried in Newent and apparently is in an unmarked and shared grave. According to his death certificate he lived in Culvert street?, Cubert street? in Newent Road,(I can't figure out the letters correctly)and was a general labourer.
If anyone can help me find any information on Albert I would be so grateful.

Thanks.
Karen
