Father Griffith DAVIES, b. 10 Oct 1865, Ffestiniog, Merionethshire d. 9 Oct 1947, Birmingham (Age 81 years) Relationship natural Mother Laura Annie REDDISH, b. 7 May 1873, Macclesfield, Cheshire Relationship natural Marriage 8 Apr 1896 Macclesfield, Cheshire [1, 3] Notes - Maybe married at the Methodist New Connection Chapel. No records for either on IGI at Jan 2000.
The family story is that Laura's family thought he was not worthy of her daughter (he was probably still a miner, or at least a very insignificant white collar worker), and told Laura to break off the engagement and look for better prospects. However she was so unhappy that the family gave in, and supported (or were much happier about?) the wedding.
