Jenkins / Davis connection (General)

I have the marriage certificate with the following information

Shadrach Jenkins, bachelor of full age, of Bream, West Dean, collier
married Sarah Davis , spinster of full age, of Bream, dressmaker
on 9th March 1856, at Primitive Methodist Chapel, Lydbrook
Fathers Thomas Jenkins collier
and William Davis charcoal collier
- both fathers deceased although the certificate does not state this
Witnesses - Robert Davies and Caroline Davies
Minister John Parry Bellingham, Registrar J M Thomas

I have found Sarah Davis at home with parents on the 1841 census and again in 1851

I believe the Caroline Davies who was a witness was either Sarah's older sister of Sarah's illegitimate daughter before her marriage. Sarah was born in 1827.

Questions
1. Who was Robert Davies? Not a brother so a cousin / uncle?
2. Who was Mary, Sarah's mother?
