Charles Edser Davis and the Davis family from Thurlaston, Dunchurch, Rugby and Nuneaton

by John Frearson 

Charles Edser Davis’s family were basket makers in Thurlaston, and later carpenters in Dunchurch.  Charles became a carpenter, married, and joined up for the First World War, being gassed and wounded.  A collection of photographs and documents led to research into his ancestors, his military career and recuperation in hospital, and his descendant family in Nuneaton.
