Hi Jayne,

My suggestion to you would be to type in Davies, Llandudno, as that would
show, possibly, if your Davies family is mentioned in the Llandudno papers.

I have used the on-line source of the NLW and I have had success with my
family name in Trawsfynydd, this produced family trees, plus various other
records pertaining to this family. I was lucky that I have a cousin in
Wales who was able to go to the Library with the reference number I gave
him, and then he was able to get photocopies of the relevant data.

Good luck,

Pat
