There are previous threads on this Davis family of Glasshouse Hill from davointassie

Taynton is in (East Dean) - 1861 census

Gloucestershirebdm

Charles DAVIS married Sophia YATES at Cheltenham St Mary 1847 - only the marriage certificate would show Charles' father's name

- and looking at the births i.e. DAVIS/YATES this is the correct census return

1851 Census Newnham - Back Lane

John YATES - Widower - age ? Gardener, born Westbury on Severn
John YATES - son - 33 - Shoe maker - born ditto
Sophia DAVIS - daughter - 35, Stay maker, born Frampton on Severn * Widow by the 1871 census
Charles DAVIS - son-in-law - 25 - - Harnefs Maker - born East Dean
Susan DAVIS - grand-d - 2 - born Newnham
Ann DAVIS - grand - d - 1 - born Newnham

Fod records, burial at Newnham 3 August 1867, Charles DAVIS, age 42

This seems plausible

---

1861 Census, Little Dean (no luck yet on 1871 census for Charles or Sarah)
District 2 Page 17 of 24 (very faint to read)

Think it is Silver Street - which is mentioned in later pages of the census returns

Charles DAVIS - 33 (c1828) - Coal Miner, born (on Ancestry transcribed as Taunton, Gloucestershire, but reads Taynton)
Sarah DAVIS - 45 - born Upleadon
Charles WILKES - 16 - wife's son - (Glosbdm - Charles WILKS/Elizabeth WEST - 1867, Littledean, St Ethelbert)
Fanny WILKES - 9 - wife's daughter **
