William Davies (Cir 1877-) |
William Davies
Another name for William was Will Davies. General Notes: William Davies was made redundant from the Willoughby Estate in 1908, by Sir Willoughby Evans. Apparently, in a bid to cut costs (after losses on horses), the owner tried to save money by keeping Will's apprentice over the experienced and therefore more expensive Will Davies. Noted events in his life were: • Occupation: Gardener. 3 • Census: 1881, 3 Apr 1881, 7 Ty Coch Street, Henllan, Denbighshire, Wales. • Occupation: Underground labourer (Coal mine), 1911, Pontnewynydd, Trevethin, Monmouthshire. His job involved checking and replacing pit props. • Census: 1911, 2 Apr 1911, 20 Charlesville (Church Terrace), Pontnewynydd, Pontypool, Monmouthshire. William married Harriet Mary Hughes circa 1902.1 (Harriet Mary Hughes was born circa 1875 in Llandudno, Caernarvonshire.) |
