Hello Susan
The marriage is correct.She is proving very elusive!
As amatter of interest is there such a place as Hacton on Dees or is it mistranscribed?

Thank you very much Adeline and Cathy.I think between you you'vesolve a good part of the mystery.Frederick Hugh Davies was a witness at the marriage of my Great Aunt Annie Williams whenshe married John Williams.He was an electric car driver.They married in June 1901.
Maud Davies married John Thomas Williams in December 1903.He was my Grandfather.Maud was his first wife.Her father is given as Thomas Davies Engineer.The witnesses are Polly and Annie Davies.I havent been able to find Thomas Polly or Annie.

This is the same house that I posted in the 1901 census with Maud and Mary E Davies with their Grandfather George Morgan......could this be your family? I wonder if Mary E could be Polly as every time I put in Polly in the search it comes up with Mary? I have found George through all the Census and he's a Monument Sculptor. In the 1881 census he has a grandaughter Rachel Davies with him and his wife Mary.....

Thank you for looking Cathy.I can't see Mary E on there.I can see Maud Mary and I know our Maud Davies married John Thomas Williams.But the household does look similar.Unfortunately our Maud died in 1906.I'm really trying to find out if she and my Grandfather had any children.By 1911 he had married my Grandmother and had two children with her.

Hi John,
