Hi Paul et al,
When John James Davies married on Feb/28/1872, Pitsmoor, Sheffield, his father was recorded as John William Davies, Engineer.
John James was a Clerk but later became a cab driver.

Mary Jane Davis (??) born 1865 Sheffield. The only connection I have found is a birth for March qtr/1865 at Barnsley Union. no mmn.
There is also a death for a Mary Ann Davis Dec.qtr/1865 at Barnsley Union age 30 (B:1835.??)
Is it possible Mary Ann headed back to the Tankersley area (Barnsley Borough) where her brother John James was born.

Possible burial for Mary Ann Davies, 14th Oct/1865 at Royston, Yks, also nr.Barnsley.

There is a birth record for a Mary Ann Davies B:1848 June qtr.Sheffield, mmn: Hepplestone but I cannot find a marriage match.
Still nothing on Elizabeth....

Some of the above can be found on Sheffield Indexers/Family Search and BMD.
