The DAVEY tree

This side of my family came from Redruth in Cornwall and worked in the mining industry. It doesn't seem that they were miners, more the assayers of copper and possibly even mine owners. Being such a common name all these details have yet to be totally verified, the more recent dates are from the census lists and earlier data is from the IGI. No parish records have yet been searched.
