Davies family

I am looking for any information on George Davies' family. He married lily jones around 1919, I know of three of the children who were George (killed in Malta in 1941), Oliver Victor who later was victor Oliver (served in the commandoes in WW2 then went on to marry Doreen Wheeler in Cardiff) and Barbara Davies, who I believe ran a haberdashery shop in the 80's? Lily and George lived in Hockley?
As you can imagine looking for a Davies born from a Jones is a small needle in a mighty big haystack. :stung:

Just a few extra bits.

There are a great number of Davies births in Birmingham, mother Jones, this is the nearest I can get with the ones you mention, George V 1918, Oliver 1924 & Barbara J 1925.

George senior was with his parents Thomas & Sarah in Birmingham until 1911, he does not seem to appear on the later electoral rolls. His parents were both born in Shropshire.

George Davies born about 1886 died age 52 registered Birmingham Q1/1938.
