Ross Davis

in the South Island of New Zealand. Familys that settled in New Zealnd around 1830 to 1850
I have reason to belive that the original name was Davis when they landed in New Zealand then the name changed to Davies most likly because of NO Schooling and not being able to spell or write.
I am looking for a Male born around 1870 give or take 10 years each way most likly from English decent.
I want to ask for a DNA test to confirm the linage

for more info go to www.davisfamilytree.org

My Grand parents lived in this area around 1911 thr to 1923 a house at Feilding,No 20 Grey street is of interest to me. It may have been a railway House. As George Charles Davis was a Bridge builder for the NZ Raiways he may have been renting a or allacated a Railway house.

Can anyone tell me if there were records kept of NZ railway employees?

Cheers

The first two names George Charles are false.
We have reverted to DNA tests to find our Grandfather. We know he was English most likely from Herefordshire England. He was Born around 1870 thru to 1890. He was of med Build in body size, fair hair.
My DNA is R1b1a2 R-M269 I have banked my DNA and we are looking for a DNA match so if you have Davis DNA can you please contact me on rossco12@bigpond.com.

Thanks for reading my post.
Ross.

Where did he come from? before 1904
Where did he go to? after 1920

What was his real name:?
George Charles Davis is the kings first names: so we guess the first two name MAY be an alias

WHAT do we know about him:?

He was White, most likley English , Australian, New Zealander or Welsh.
He was good carpenter and a bridge builder. He worked for the New Zealand Railways in Napier, and lived in the "Railway Station Yards Napier" most likley in a Mobile Railway Carriage that could be connected to a train and moved to the next work site; siding on a new bridge being built.
He was born about 1870 give or take ten years.

Does any one have history of "Railway workers in New Zealand" during the 1900 thru to 1930.
In particular Families that lived in these mobile communities?

cheers Ross Davis
