Hi Everyone, Neal Davison is searching for any information regarding. Capt J Davison and he was presented with this by the officials of Houghton Colliery on the 21 July 1906. The J could well stand for John. He was born in 1878. He was a captain of a tug boat. He married an Edith Mallaby and the only bit of an address at some point he lived on a East Cross Street.

If you have any details of him that would be amazing for Neal so please share
