Some specific information on this IMMEDIATE Davis family from Glenn Morrison.
- Married: 06-MAY-1869 in: Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada
- Name: Ellen (Ella\Ellie) Jane Corbett
- Birth: 05-JUN-1850 in: Five Islands, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, Canada
- Death:
- Father: Edward M. Corbett
- Mother: Rebecca Marsh
Notes: Mother COULD be the Mrs. Rachel Corbett listed in 1901 Census for Five Islands, Colchester Co, NS, b. 01-Mar-1820. Likely a widow by then, two children still living with her, Yates Corbett, son, b. 31-Dec-1847, and Eliza Corbett, dau, b. 26-Sep-18 53.
That said, could also be daughter of John Corbett, b. 30-Aug-1814, and his wife, b. 23-Feb-1816, therefore one of her siblings would be David Corbett, b. 18-Mar-1861 (all these three also in Five Islands in 1901).
Based on where she resided in 1901, though, we'll go with father being Edward, as listed.
Here's the listing in 1901 Canada Census for Five Islands:
11 33 104 Corbett Edward M Head M Sep 15 1823 78
11 34 104 Corbett Mrs. Edward F Wife M Mar 29 1826 73
11 35 104 Davis Mrs. Randal F Boarder M Jun 5 1856 49 (1856 in transcription, but 1850 on scan of record)
The reason for saying "we'll go with" is because she is not listed SPECIFICALLY as Edward's daughter in 1901. She could easily have been a niece, instead. As she's listed as married vice widowed, perhaps Randall/Charles was "at sea" or workin g in the US in 1901?
