Mostly Irish
[edit]Despite her surname being French, Douras = of Gold, this genealogical study shows Miss Davies was of Irish stock, from those who immigrated in the mid-nineteenth century:
Although Davies’s father went by the surname Douras, his name was more correctly spelled Doris or Dorris. The origin of the name was Irish. Both of Bernard’s parents were Irish immigrants Daniel Doris and Catherine McCann. Born sometime between 1810-1818, they fled Ireland for America during the 1840s Potato Famine and most likely came from Ulster. Bernard was their only surviving child.
Marion Davies’s mother was Rose Claire May Reilly and it’s no surprise that she was of Irish descent too. In fact both of Rose’s parents had Irish roots. Rose was born in New York in 1867 to Charles Reilly and Mary Frances Cushing. Although Charles was born in Connecticut in 1845 to an English-born father, also Charles Reilly, his mother, Rose Morris, came from Ireland. Charles's father may have been a stage coach owner.
Whilst not especially Greek looking, she could have come from any part of the British Isles ( or France or Germany etc. ) = in fact when looking this up I started with the illusion she was of Welsh extraction, with her Welsh Surname.
