Davies-Prisk

[lighthouse]

Hello - thrilled that google led me to this forum as I was digging around to back up information about the William Prisk (St. Hilary) connections! I am hoping to confirm the Davies (of Illogan) connections...



So far: Thomas James Davies (lighthouse keeper) 1905 - 1990, son of Mary Martha Griffiths (b. 1883, Falmouth) and Thomas Richard Davies (1875 - 1946?). Thomas James Davies m. Elsie Prowse (1907 - 1983, of Abbotskerwell) in 1931.

Thos Richard was son of Richard Davies (1852, Illogan - 1941, Essex) and Mary Ann Prisk (1854 - 1921). As far as I know, Richard and Mary Ann had 6 children (Minnie Watson 1874 - 1929; Thos Richard m. Mary Martha GRiffiths; Wm James (b. 1883) m. Alice Grey, THomas Henry (b. 1888) m. Edith Whitehead; James (b. 1889) m. Martha Miller; George (b. 1891) m. Annie Carter).


I am looking forward to exploring the pages here and possibly even getting some feedback.
