The Common Room / Edward Davidson mystery
« on: Thursday 18 January 24 09:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folks I have just found a birth of another member of a family I’m researching

Edward Davidson was born on 2nd aug 1923 , at boddam , Peterhead,
Aberdeenshire

He had a few siblings ,

Including Alexander which I posted a few weeks back about ,

Other siblings include , Nellie , AnnaBella , William and James


John Fraser Davidson was also a sibling of Edward


, apparently John was very badly hurt in the war ?

John was known to have a son named Edward too that apparently tragically fell from a cliff and died ?


Can anyone help me find what happened to Edward born in 1923

I hope this is allowed as he would be over 100 years if he’s still alive

Thanks

Ryan

The Common Room / Another mystery James smith
« on: Saturday 12 November 22 09:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folks

I came across this a few weeks ago but yesterday I requested a copy

I ordered a record from the paternity index on Scottish indexes


I was drawn to a record

Jane bruce cowie and James smith , Middletown of rattray

(James smith is my great grandfather)

I knew that in 1914 this couple
Had an illegitimate son (George) , sadly he later died in infancy

I have never seen the paternity records so I purchased it

First glance I was thinking I hadn’t achieved much more information

Until ……


I woke this morning and read over again

I couldn’t not take it what I was reading

It appears the same couple had another male child 3 year before the second one born in 1911

Wow

So I decided to have a look on Scotlands people for births of Males in 1911 in peterhead

I chose James smith as that was the fathers name

Sure enough I found a record of James smith born illegitimate to Jane bruce cowie and James smith

I cannot believe I haven’t found this before now and what’s more interesting this man was probably living in peterhead the same time as grandfather ,

Did they know they had a sibling ?


Can anyone help me find info on James smith who was born in 1911 in peterhead ? I would be keen to find a death cert

Also I would be keen to find a death certificate for mother Jane bruce cowie who was born around 1890 in peterhead

Thanks

The Common Room / William Asham of Hull mystery
« on: Friday 16 September 22 08:36 BST (UK)  »
Posting on behalf of a friend :

I’v been doing research about a William Asham of Hull, who traded and fished in the Faroes til 1875 when he sold his shop and left wife and a kid. He had several smacks and was a known smuggler of brandy to Shetland and Orkney. I wonder where he did end up. As far as I know he
was born in Knottingley, England. 3. August 1828.


Hi folks can anyone help find more on William

Many thanks
