DAVIS, Alfred William Born in Ruardean 1882 (General)
Born in Ruardean 1882-1883 Alfred married Florence Daisy May Gibbs 03.11.1902 in Ruardean. In the 1911 census he was living with his wife and children at High Street, Ruardean and was a coal miner hewer. At some time he changed the spelling of his surname from Davis to Davies. I am looking for any further information about him (parents, siblings, which mine he worked at etc) from birth to 1911 please. He was my great grandfather. Thank you.

William Alfred DAVIS, 1882 Ruardean
Thank you very much for all the information. I have the name as Alfred William Davis but you have written it as William Alfred Davis. I do believe he was known as Alfred. Do you thinnk it is the same person? I have no other information on him prior to his wedding in 1902.

DAVIES, Archibald Ivor Born 1905 in Ruardean
Born 1905 in Ruardean, son of Alfred William DAVIES and Florence Daisy May DAVIES (nee Gibbs). Also known as Ivor. He was originally a miner but changed profession to baker. Had his own bakery in the main street in Mitcheldean possibly before moving to Coventry early 1930's. Was bombed out of bakery during World War 2 in Coventry and returned to Mitcheldean until around 1949. Does anyone have any photographs or memories of him or his bakery please?

DAVIES, Archibald Ivor aka Ivor
by BDaviesVera , Sunday, April 08, 2012, 20:56 (4687 days ago) @ slowhands
Does anyone please have memories or photos of the bakery that was in High Street, Mitcheldean run by Ivor Davies? He was there in 1947, having already established his bakery there after been bombed out of his bakery in Coventry. Ivor was born in The Morse, Ruardean in 1905, and apparently was a miner before going into the bakery business (which he learnt from an existing baker in Mitcheldean before leaving for Coventry). His father was Alfred William Davies, a miner whom I know little about before 1902. Alfred (possibly aka William) was married to Daisy May Florence Gibbs in 1902. Any information would be gratefully received please. Thank you.
