My grandfather Edward Joseph DAVIES, was the son of the Robert DAVIES I mentioned in my last post. He was born in Acton Scott 25/01/1868. He married Annie Sarah POTTER (of Potter's Bakery, Lower Street, Cleobury Mortimer) 07/06/1897 in Balsall Heath.
In 1901 He was a grocer in High Street, Cleobury Mortimer where my father was born in 1902.
However, I can find no trace of him in the 1911 census. His two children were fostered for some years, separately, but with family, so I presume he was "somewhere else". All I know about him after that, is that he died in 17/05/1934 in Tenbury Wells in the family home where later I was born.
Can anyone help me to find out where he went - and why?
