William John DAVIES & family, Lydbrook, (General)

William John Davies was my great grandfather. His wife's name was Rose, nee Warr. The couple had two sons -- my grandfather, Willam Oswald Davies, and Stuart Davies. I know, from information provided by family members in the UK that the Davies family was living in Lydbrook in the early 1900s. I have been told that William John Davies was "from the Forest of Dean, Lydbrook area". I have also been told that his two sons were "born and grew up" in the area. A search of various birth, marriage and death records has drawn a blank.
I assume (based on the scant family info I have) that William John Davies was born in the area c1875. I also know that Rose Davies, nee Warr (my great grandmother) died c1960, at the age of 96.
This, essentially, is all I know about my ancestors. I would greatly appreciate any information or help on the above names that forum members are able to provide.
Thanks.
