Hi,I'm not researching this family but I may be able to help if you've any queries regarding the Bulwark,Old Deer area.Most of my husband's ancestors are from this area, & as a consequence,I'm familiar with the place. Can you give me the names of William & Annie's parents (off their wedding certificate). Also, have you got the Wilsons on the censuses?
Regards,

Glad to hear you've got the information on this family. Can you tell me what became of John Wilson,born 1911? My in-laws may have known him.

Hi Flst,
I see you have Morison, Finnie, Fowlie, Walker and Low in your family search.
I have Morison they come from Ross and Cromarty.
Finnie was my Great Granny name she was born in the Wilson's family from old deer, she illegitimate.
I have two sets of Fowlie's Family's  in my Wilson Tree.
I have Helen Walker married William Wilson she was from Ellon.
and the last ones are Low's they are from Fyvie.

Is there any connection with the names.
Bye

Hi, the Fowlies I have researched are Peter,born c1744 Fraserburgh & his wife Elspet Clyne.  Peter was a farmer in Scareleys,New Deer parish. The Finnies that I'm interested in are James Finnie,(son of Thomas & Isabella Thomson,born 19 April 1855 in Peterhead) & his offspring.  He married Isabella Mitchell Clubb on 3rd December 1886 at Clochcan,Savoch parish.

Hi mccubbin,
I forgot about this family,William Finnie married Ann Wyllie on 10/7/1774 in Old Deer parish. I have a note of 4 children but suspect they'd a few more owing to the gap between the first 3 & the 4th one!
William born 1772,George born 1774,Christian born 1779 & Anne (my ancestor,she married William Cobban) born 1791.They were all born at Hythie,Old Deer parish.

McCubbin

My Great Grantparents James Davidson and Isabella Gibb lived in Bulwark, Old Deer, mid 1800 to 1900.
He also worked at Backhill of Clackriach, and may be an illegitmate relation of the Davidson that owned the farm but we have not been unable to trace his parents.

Information I have is as follows:

My porblem is that James is listed on his death certificate as illegitimate but no parents listed and in the censes he states birth as Strichen and Old Deer but cannot find anything

JAMES DAVIDSON married ISABELLA GIBB on 11th July 1852.
ISABELLA GIBB was born 13 Aug 1823 the oldest of WILLIAM GIBB and ANNE ADIE who were married on the 2nd June 1823. Not much more is known of William but Anne’s parents were GEORGE ADIE and ELSPET SANGSTER.  Isabella had two sisters and a brother Margaret born 1827, James 1833 and Mary 1835.

JAMES and ISABELLA DAVIDSON had nine children 

WILLIAM DAVIDSON       13th Dec 1852    Auchnavaird
ANDREW & PETER DAVIDSON    30th June 1854    Auchnavaird
GIBB DAVIDSON          30th May 1856           Auchnavaird
MARGARET JEMIMA DAVIDSON   25th Dec 1857    Auchnavaird
GEORGE DAVIDSON          24th Aug 1859           West Crichie
MARY ANN DAVIDSON      1st June 1861           West Crichie
CHRISTINA BEEDIE DAVIDSON   13th April 1865   Bulwark
ANN CLUBB DAVIDSON       18th Aug 1867           Bulwark

Isabella Gibb pervious to her marriage had an illegitimate son born 15th January 1850 baptised 25th March before the Kirk session of Old Deer and named James. The person reported by Gibb as the father of the child being William Robb a native of St Fergus.

9th May 1873 GIBB DAVIDSON dies in Grimond Cottage Hospital, from scarlet fever.

JAMES DAVIDSON died 27 June 1874 aged 48 years, at Bulwark.

ISABELLA DAVIDSON can be found in the 1881 Census at Bulwark with her daughters MARGARET and ANNE and grandson JAMES DAVIDSON aged 2 months, the son of MARGARET DAVIDSON.

In the 1891 Census ISABELLA DAVIDSON is living in Bulwark with her grandson JAMES DAVIDSON now aged 9 years.

In the 1901 Census ISABELLA DAVIDSON is a pauper living alone in Bulwark.

ISABELLA DAVIDSON died 3rd Nov 1916 at the house of her grandson JAMES REID in Strichen aged 91.

I have all the family from here own down to present day

regards

I saw your postings in rootsweb regarding this couple so I was able to go ahead with my searching.Well,I have found something interesting from my handwritten notes. One of my husband's ancestors had an illegitimate daughter to Isabella's sister,Margaret.She was residing in Bulwark & her daughter Ann (born 4 Feb 1849) was baptised before witnesses (Wm.Gibb in Bulwark & Wm Dickie,church officer)The father was William Clubb,farm servant.The baptism is under Gibb or Clubb. Margaret died in 1902 & I have her death certificate.She was still living in Bulwark in 1901 & was a pauper.You may be able to find out if she received poor relief.If she did you will find a wealth of information on the application form!She was living with her daughter & son in law.Ann married John Burnett,a crofter.Margaret's occupation on the marriage certificate was a seamstress.His descendants still live in the area.It would be great if you could come across a baptism record like this for James Davidson!Were any of the witnesses to his many children's baptisms relatives? flst

Our posts crossed! My first thought is- have you checked the poor relief records for Isabella Davidson?
I did spot James Robb's baptism.
I see that Isabella names her last child after her niece!
I too have Adie connections,from the Strichen area.Have you researched the Adie branch? I'll continue to delve in my files,

Another thought,have you checked the wills of the Davidson family of Mains of Clackriach? He may have been mentioned in them,either as a faithful servant or even a relative! (Maybe not, as his widow died a pauper.)
