Ann Davis [29 September 1822 -]
The above three siblings were baptised at Park Lane Presbyterian Church, Cradley, children of Joseph and Elizabeth. It is likely that they are siblings of Levi, as Enoch was living in the household of Levi's daughter Elizabeth in the 1891 census (RG12/2282 f3 p4 {1891})
Levi Davis [1823 - >1855]
Isaac Davis [1826 Cradley Heath -] married 25 September 1848, Dudley Ellen Walters
1. Levi Davis [1849 - 15 July 1884]
2. Elizabeth Davis [1850 -]
3. Mary Ann Davis [1853 -]

  2. Levi Darby [6 May 1878 -] married 3^rd qtr 1899 West Bromwich RD Charlotte Love [18 October 1880 -]
    The 1881 and 1891 census records for the Darby family show no Levi. The 1881 census (38 Fox Oak Street, Rowley Regis: RG11/2862 f24 p42 lists a daughter Lydda aged 2, and the 1891 (66 New Town Lane, Rowley Regis: RG12/2282 f45 p42) a son Neri aged 13. However, there is a Birth Certificate for Levi Darby, son of Walter and Eliza, and for all the other known Darby family members, but no Lydda or Neri. The conclusion is that, unlikely though it seems, Levi was misregistered in both censuses.
