For a short time they lived at a home that had previously belonged to George's brother, Richard, before moving to their own home next door on Lot 11. George and Rachel Davies raised four children in their home, two boys and two girls. Daughter Lillian May Davies wore the dress when she was a bridesmaid for Elizabeth Lewis when she married Henry Love circa 1907.
