<title>Russell  G DAVIS marries Emily A HOOK, Longhope 1926 (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Dan,</p>
<p>The ever-helpfull and quick-to-search GlosBMD site has the following Records which fit your case; </p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Birth Details</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Child Surname Child Forename Father Surname Mother Surname Mother's Former Name Year District Office Register Entry <br />
DAVIS Russell George DAVIS DAVIS BULLOCK 1890 Gloucester Gloucester, Huntley 18 143</span> </p>
<p>(Bullock is a wellknown Longhope family name)</p>

DAVIS Russell George HOOK Emily Ambury Forest of Dean Longhope All Saints  1926 1 380 </span></p>
<p>I wonder if Russell's middle name &quot;George&quot; could possibly be a transcript error, or ???  <br />
Interestingly Eliza's middlename is the unusual Ambury, as per this thread's original poster..?</p>
<p>Again searching GlosBMD, for a Davis/Bullock marriage, gives this good fit, the earlier posts show Russell's parents were Jabez &amp; <strong>Sarah</strong> Davies;<br />

<p>==============================</p>
<p>Dan,<br />
I see Ambury's name is still displayed as blue, hence &quot;active&quot;, altho clicking on it suggests they've not visited the forum since 2012. I suggest you mail Ambury direct bu clicking their username, they'll hopefully get your email and may be able to help clarify things further.<br />
Have you seen the excellent Longhope Village website ?.  I see it contains photos of Jabez and Sarah's grave, both lived long lives 'til about age 90, and hopefully the site will provide much more of interest to you. <br />

Hoping this helps, Jeff.</p>

<title>Harold DAVIS, Longhope 1911 census (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi I am trying to research my wife's family. I know from talking to her family that her great grandad was a russell jebus davis. I have been unable to find anything on this person but now believe that it is the russell that is displayed above. I do know that the russell I am looking for marries a Emily hook. I am also wondering if jebus is actually jabez after his father. </p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated</p>
<p><br />
Dan</p>
