Polly,

In case you don't already have this, following is the 1881 Census entry for
your Timothy & Mary DAVIES family at Penllanoeth, parish of Llanarth,
Cardiganshire, in 1881:

Since everyone was born in Llanarth, you shouldn't have much trouble tracing
these families back beyond the elder Timothy DAVIES and his wife, Mary
JONES.

I also looked for Stephen DAVIES b.1859 and found this likely entry:

This entry might be the elder brother, John b.1849 Llanarth, especially as
he has the same occupation as Stephen:
