Searching FreeBMD uk-wide for Thos M Davey, there appears a distinct geographical "thread", starting with:

Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Dec 1869 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Davey Thomas Mark Camelford 5c 11

Camelford is in Cornwall not too far from St Agnes. Is this our Thos, I think so.

In later years the relatively few (and all different) Thos M Daveys are between Cornwall and Cardiff/FoD; in Devon, Bristol and then:

Births Sep 1896 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Davey Thomas Morgan Pontypridd 11a 489

This is also interesting, altho of course Morgan IS a very common local surname:

Births Sep 1908 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Davey Thomas Morgan Swansea 11a 1195

Could this be a son of "our" Thos Davey & Florence P. Morgan, a brother to Florence P.A. b1903, the Morgan second name perhaps recognises they were not yet married ?
NO !, the free Ancestry 1911 access lets me find this lad with his Jackson/Beddal grandparents born & still living in Swansea... which is probably followed by

Marriages Sep 1935 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Davey Thomas M Williams Swansea 11a 2321

Again most probably coincidence, but reminds me that Florence b1875's grandfather was a Thomas Morgan, as was Gertrude b1875's father...?

HOWEVER, searching the above Thomas Morgan Davey's shows it is actually quite a common name in South Wales, so what now ????

I suggest perhaps searching for Thos M.Davey born 1866-1870 within the neighbourhood of Florence's address in 1901 Penarth Census.
ALSO the Emmigration Records for them both, hopefully travelling together and from Cardiff ?

AND Thomas:

Is it too much to hope the first "hits" on both these searches give coinciding dates, both are to New York (hence Pennsylvania ?), please check them out somebody and post back, thanks.

Of course, it's possible they didnt meet in the UK, but that seems very unlikely to me.

Hope this helps a little Margaret,
good luck !
