"My Nan: 1910 - 2003"
|
I would like to find the mother of my relation Kate Gertrude DAVIDSON born circa 1877 in Elgin. Her father was Robert James Davidson listed as a Gentleman on her marraige certificate.
I'm not sure of the scottish system for ordering birth certificates - can anyone point me in the right direction??

Hi Lewy,
The following is from the 1881 Cencus:
Dwelling: 4 Albert Place
Census Place: Aberdeen Old Machar, Aberdeen, Scotland
Source: FHL Film 0203449 GRO Ref Volume 168-2 EnumDist 28 Page 5
Marr Age Sex Birthplace
Robert DAVIDSON M 35 M Rayne, Aberdeen, Scotland
Rel: Head
Occ: Commission Agent Wines & Spirits
Helen DAVIDSON M 32 F Elgin, Elgin, Scotland
Rel: Wife
Frederick C. DAVIDSON 9 M Elgin, Elgin, Scotland
Rel: Son
Occ: Scholar
Constance H. DAVIDSON 8 F England
Rel: Daur
Occ: Scholar
Kate G. DAVIDSON 3 F Elgin, Elgin, Scotland
Rel: Daur
Elsie THOMSON U 23 F Fyvie, Aberdeen, Scotland
Rel: Serv
Occ: Genl Serv (Domes)
From this you can see where the family were at the time of the Cencus and names, ages and occupations of Kate's parents.
Hope this helps.
Anne

I got the info from the LDS 1881 CD's. You can buy them either by areas or the whole set which will cost around 20 pounds (for the whole set). I recently got the updates Scottish set which comes as a set of 2 and costs about 6 pounds.
The 1881 Cencus is widely available on the internet on the same format as I sent you. If you want a copy of the actual image, your local library or nearest Family History Society will most likely have a copy.
Get back to me if you want any more info. If all else fails, you could get the image from Scotland's People - but it will cost!

hi there,
i also have the 1881 census, and after looking at it, i seached for Frederick's birth on LDS website:
FREDERICK CHARLES DAVIDSON
Male
Birth: 31 JUL 1871 Elgin, Moray, Scotland
Father: ROBERT DAVIDSON
Mother: HELEN MACWILLIAM
this gave me his mother's maiden name, which enabled me to do a search for his parents marriage:
ROB. DAVIDSON
Spouse: HELEN MACWILLIAM
Marriage: 21 JUL 1869 Elgin, Moray, Scotland
you should be able to get a copy of these certificates and also the birth certs for Constance and Kate and scotlandspeople website. - it is a pay to view site, but is fairly reasonable at £6.00GBP for 30 page credits.
kind regards,
Lorna.

Go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and you can download images of birth certificates 1855-1904, marriages 1855-1929 and deaths 1855-1954.
