He was born in the Llanycrwys area of Carmarthenshire, and attended school at Llansawel, where he was taught by William Davies (1805–1859).
He later studied in Alfred Day's school, Bristol,[1] and in Glasgow, on a scholarship, from where he graduated and obtained his M.A.
For a time he taught at the new Voluntaryist college (set up without government assistance)[2] for teachers in Brecon (1846), where after a period of training, he was appointed principal.
[3] Despite the demise of the Voluntaryist movement and the resulting shortage of funds, Davies continued to run the institution as a private venture until 1867 when he passed it on to Dan Isaac Davies, instead moving to a career in law, eventually becoming a partner in a legal firm.
