Davidson's of Innerleithen
« on: Thursday 26 August 04 16:57 BST (UK) »
Hi everybody, and greetings from Regina, Saskatchewan Canada.  This is my first day on this site, found it during a general search.  I have been able to trace my family roots back to Innerleithen and Galashiels and now I am stuck.  Some important names in my tree:
James Davidson m. Janet Nicol at Innerleithen 27/6/1788
They had children John b.1788,  Michael b.1791, Marion b.1793, *James b.1796, Robert 1799 and finally William b. 1811 all born at Innerleithen.  Short of a trip to that area (planned for 2006) how can I find a DOB and Date of Death for James.  I have searched the Scotish government website to no avail.  (hey isn't this fun)

Hiya Redcoat,

I had a look at the memorial inscriptions published for Innerleithen and found this...

48.  Jas Davidson/Innerleithen 3.6.1840 88 w Janet Nichol 5.11.1828 62 da Marion d 18(5)4 61 Michael D d Nether Horsburgh 14.12.1869 48 w Ann Tait d NZ aged 72

This book is transcribed in a shorthand form that I hate - but if it gets things published quicker - great.

I think it is fairly clear
d = died
da = daughter
w = wife

I guess the 5 in brackets means it wasn't very clear?

Hope this helps,
Pam
:-)

Hi Red Coat,

I have a photo of James & Janet's headstone.
The stone itself is not in great condition, but most of it is readable. Happy to send you it.

Regards,

Hathor
