Amy - a little more for you.
I think I mentioned in an earlier note that Robert DAVIS had another marriage before Mary PEAK.
Robert DAVIES married Mary Ann ROWE
Penzance R.D. 1906 December Qtr Vol 5c Page 489
In the 1911 Census Mary Ann and her son Robert (born 1907) were living at St Ives
They travelled to New York later that same year.
"SS Majestic" sailed from Southampton 24th May 1911 and arrived in New York 31st May 1911.
Mary Ann DAVIS, age 27, of Digey, St Ives
Robert DAVIS, age 3, of Digey, St Ives
Nearest friend or relative - 'friend Mrs ROWE, Digey, St Ives, Cornwall'.
Also travelling with Mary Ann and Robert were the following who were listed on the passenger list immediately before Mary Ann:-
Eleanor DAVIS, 32, wife, St Ives
Thomas DAVIS, 9mths, child, St Ives
Eleanor DAVIS, 3, child, St Ives
Nearest friend or relative - 'friend Mrs Noall, St Ives, Cornwall'
All were bound for Crystal Falls, Michigan.
This would be:-
Thomas DAVIS married Eleanor Trevorrow NOALL
Penzance R.D. 1907 June Qtr Vol 5c Page 467
Almost certainly a brother to Robert DAVIS.
Will try and add a little more about Mary Ann ROWE and Eleanor Trevorrow NOALL in another note.
