From everything found so far, I too would be inclined to think that Margery was Lea's Marion.

There seems to be no sign of Margery Davies after 1927.

It's odd that her birthplace is unknown in 1911. If she was brought up by nuns, as suggested in another thread, surely they would have known where she was born -
unless perhaps she was a foundling - and if she had gone from the nuns to the Davieses, one would expect that info to have been passed on.

And IF she's the same person, why she would change her name to Harvey is a mystery.
