Other Information: Information received from Sonia Davis in Australia February 2012 "This was my great grand aunt, she was born in April 1869. Her brother Samuel was born two years after her death in 1878. I have found it difficult tracing Charles William Davis and Harriet Wetherick (their parents). Elizabeth seemed to be living with her grandparents on the 1871 census and it is reported that my great grandfather was born in London, well that's what it says on his death certificate but I can't seem to find any census info on those two! I'll will keep trying! I will forward other relevant information when I can."
