Photograph of Thomas Davies
Thomas Davies (my great great grandfather) of the Dunraven Hotel, Tonypandy and of 'Maesyrhaf', Trealaw" 		Thomas Davies was the son of Benjamin Davies, and was born somewhere in the large parish of Troed-yr-aur, Cardiganshire, on 30 June 1815 as his gravetsone shows. We have been unable to substantiate who Thomas' mother was, and all we know is that his father Benjamin Davies was a widower when he married Susannah David, daughter of Morgan David of Graigddu & Gwaunadda, Dinas.
On 6th November 1847, when he was 32 years of age, Thomas married Elizabeth Bevan, daughter of Thomas Bevan of Llwynypia Farm, Tonypandy, at Carmel Chapel, Pontypridd.There is no known image of Elizabeth Bevan.
Thomas Davies & Elizabeth Bevan had six children but they lost a baby girl named Letitia. their three sons Morgan, Thomas and Richard all died in adulthood, as did my great grandmother, Friswith Elizabeth. Only their youngest daughter Letitia lived to older age.
If anyone can add to these photographs I would be most grateful. The photographs will enlarge.
