Davis family, Bradford on Avon
- Bradford-On-Avon
Hi - I'm lookin for information about a Davis family who lived in Bradford on Avon. I believe I may have traced a distant relative called Samuel Davis, who I think was born 1792 approx. I beleive this Samuel Davis moved to Bath, to the Walcot district and settled there where the Davis family lived for many years.
I could be totally wrong though. This Samuel Davis may not even be connected but I'd love to hear from anyone who has any info on Davis family from Bradford on Avon, especially if you know of a Samuel Davis who moved to Bath.
I think his son was a George Davis who married twice (Elizabeth Rendall, Mary Anne Bolwell), and subsequent generations lived for many years lived 65 Avon Street, Walcot, Bath.
If anyone is researching Davis from Bradford on Avon, and feel there could be a connection there, please give me a shout,
Thanks
