Samuel Davies commenced independent practice at Frodsham about 1891 and on 1 July 1893 his partnership with C E Linaker was dissolved. In 1894 he was elected a member of the Society of Architects and the following year opened a branch office in Runcorn. In 1907 he suffered severe financial difficulties, forcing the auction of his household furniture and his move from Avanley Terrace. However, these actions were insufficient to clear his debt and in May 1907 he sued for bankruptcy. In March 1908 a first and final payment of 1s 5½d in the pound was made to creditors and Samuel Davies then set about re-establishing his practice, opening a new branch office at Victoria Buildings, Runcorn. His Frodsham practice continued until at least 1923. Works include detached residences at Frodsham, Runcorn, Helsby, Blackpool and other places and shops, factories, farms etc. restoration of tower and other works at Frodsham parish church.

She wrote the words to the song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", which is known worldwide, but its authorship generally forgotten. The sisters and their authorship of various works have often been confused, in part because their early works were published together. Ann Taylor's son, Josiah Gilbert, wrote in her biography, "Two little poems–'My Mother,' and 'Twinkle, twinkle, little Star,' are perhaps, more frequently quoted than any; the first, a lyric of life, was by Ann, the second, of nature, by Jane; and they illustrate this difference between the sisters." ..Ann Taylor (1782 – 1866) was an English poet and literary critic. In her youth she was a writer of verse for children, for which she achieved long-lasting popularity. In the years immediately preceding her marriage, she became an astringent literary critic of growing reputation. She is, however, best remembered as the elder sister and collaborator of Jane Taylor."
