|---|---|---|---|---|
| Birth [E0110] | 1/11/1870 | 22 Clive Place, Trecynon, Aberdare, Glamorganshire | JONAHFAM: "registered as 27 Nov!" 1939 gives exact date, but estimate? 1881 is 1870-1. | 1 2 3 4 |

| Residence [E0108] | estimated between 1872 and 1877 | Pant-y-berllan (cottage), Llywel, Breconshire | JONESFAM: 1871: Anne not yet living with her mother at Pant-y-berllan, which was the first place where Jonah remembered living. | 5 |
|
|
||||
| Residence [E0715] | about 1878 | 5 or 7, Julian Road, Westbury-on-Trym, Gloucestershire | JONESFAM: Jonah pointed to one of the villas in the middle of the row of three pairs of three-storey semi-detached Italianate houses, nos 10-15 (TGEA: Rockleaze Villas aren’t on Julian Road, and 10-15 aren’t contiguous; perhaps AMA means the 3 blocks that are 1,3,5,7,9,11 Julian Road, so no. 5 or 7), as the house in which they lived when they first came to Bristol. | 5 |
|
|

| Residence [E0353] | between 1880 and 1881 | 15 Rockleaze Villas, Westbury-on-Trym, Gloucestershire | 1881: Ann Davis 37 servant - cook (dom), Jonah R. Davis 10 boy. John P. Allen is head of house. JONESFAM: Mrs Woods probably moved to Rockleaze Villas in 1880, taking on Anne as her cook; no. 15 had probably been empty previously, as the Directories for 1879 and 1880 have no entry for it. | 1 4 5 |
