Simone x

Have you looked at the Parish Records? The marriage of John and Elizabeth is there, as are births for at least three children, including Katie. Appaently John Davis was a widower when he married Elizabeth.

Our relative, Arthur Enoch Selby married Kate Seline Moulton whose parents were William and Selina Moulton. Next to their grave at St Briavels is a war grave for Lionel Edwin Moulton born 1886. I wondered if he was Selina's brother but it turns out his parents were Henry and Jane Moulton, so maybe a cousin. However, I have not researched this side of the family so sorry I cannot be of any more help. I am sure someone will turn up trumps!
