Davis family Speech House Cottages (General)

Can you please help ?
Dad - George Thornton Williams b.1917 now aged 95, had two elder brothers, Charlie b.1909 and Fred b.1907. They grew up at the cottages next to the Primitive Methodist Church in Church Road Cinderford, prior to moving to Belle Vue Road when he was about 12 years old.
Fred died a young man, (Dad can remember him being kicked by a horse in the head) and on a recent trip around the Forest, he mentioned that Fred fathered a child before he died and before he was married. The child - a girl, was born to Fred's fiance - Nellie (or Nelly) Davis (or Davies), who lived with her family in 'Speech House Cottages' - the one nearest Moseley Green. This cottage has been converted into holiday lets and now named 'Parkend Cottage'. (I am not sure which District Speech House Cottages would have been in back in the 1920's).
Dad thinks the girl grew up and went to live in America, but knows nothing of her name or her family as it was such a long time ago. The Williams family here would love to trace her or her family if at all possible. She would have probably been born in the early 20's.
Any help would be great
Thanks B. Wright
