Frederick Davidson
« on: Sunday 05 July 15 11:37 BST (UK) »
I have him on the census, aged 21 born and living with his family in 1851 in Devonport. But then he disappears never to be seen again. I have a possible in 1891, from Dawlish as a Doctor living in London. My instinct says it's not the right one but I have no other. I also can't find a birth certificate/marriage certificate or any other record of him at all. It doesn't seem possible to me that a blockmaker could become a doctor, is it? Can anyone find where he is hiding as I am now stuck.

Sorry should have said, George Davidson (who is also a blockmaker) and Susanna Davidson. Also might be useful, the rest of the family joined the navy or married into the navy. Big surprise in Devonport ;D

Thanks yes I see some of the others were navy related! 

I wonder if Frederick sailed further afield and emigrated.

Tend to agree with you the Frederick who is a doctor isn't the right one. 

He marries I think before 1851.

I thought that. it would make sense, because they all seem quite happy to move about. However I can find no record elsewhere either and blockmaker to dr seems to lucky. I have looked at ancestry worldwide and found nothing. Or a death certificate. Also I can't find George and Susannah before 1851. They don't seem to appear on the 1841 census.

I can see a Frederick Davidson, b. Devonport  joining the Merchant Navy sometime between 1845-1854 ...

Always looking for GOODWINS in Berkshire :)
