Hi Slowhands,
thanks for that, very usefull work indeed.
Now you're "in" I feel we're sailing in calm home waters again, sorry but last night it was just getting too much for my small brain to take in.

Margaret posted yesterday that she felt that Flo was Thoms Davey's second wife, on what grounds I don't know (although seeing the LDS hits I was beginning to wonder too) ??

I still wonder if this could indeed be the same Thos Nankevil Davey that Flo marries a few years later ??. However trying to search for Thomas & Mary Davey in the 1911 Census hasn't shown up any obvious hits, which may mean they have indeed already emigrated ?. I certainly havent found an obvious convenient Death for Mary around the early 1900s, but its a very popular name to disentangle....
A Mary Davey marries in Pontypridd in Sept 1908, another in Cardiff in Sept 1911, but no evidence yet to even suggest it's "our" Mary marrying again after leaving Thomas Nankivet; but again there are a heck of a LOT of Mary Daveys in this area !


As the 1911 Census is available to me, and abt the right timeframe, I've tried searching it for a Mary Davey maybe born abt 1865 (like Thos). Again there are LOTS of such ladies, many with spouse Thomas, most in "our" area of the SW UK. One "possible" hit is here, a "widow" after just one year; perhaps Thos staged his death to "runaway" to the US, or maybe she's saying this to cover her own good name, or am I just being fancifull again !

1911 Wales Census
Mary Davey Head(widow) abt 1867, 44yrs, Married 1 yr, Labourer, Swansea Glamorgan Wales, 10 Campbell St.

Ah well... and I thought Nankivet would be an "easy" name to trace....
Thanks again for helping.
