Looking for Davidson family from Coatbridge...
« on: Wednesday 01 August 18 01:03 BST (UK) »
My name is Crossett and my grandfather was from Coatbridge... I have gotten help from Hume, and now would like to get information about my Grandmother Maggie Crossett (Maggie Davidson)  Maggie was born Aug. 27 1889 and Married George Crossett in 1909 In Coatbridge... I think at some time they lived in Gartsherrie??  thanks for any help... much appreciated

The 1891 and 1901 censuses have a Maggie Davidson Born 1889 in Coatbridge.

Mother Marion born Coatbridge 1853
Father Robert born either Ayr or Dalrymple in Ayrshire 1853.

There are however other Margaret Davidsons so this may not be yours. If you access the marriage record of Maggie and George this should show who her parents were. SP has it.

Thanks for the reply and information... Maggie is the right name and I beleive you are right about her parents... I do know she lived on Ronnie street  in Coatbridge growing up and future husband George Crossett  lived about a half mile away but right now the street escapes me... I do not have access to other types of research like you mentioned but will keep looking though... thanks very much... Ron

Marriage 5 June 1874 Old Monkland Lanarkshire

Marion Kerr

I would say this is the birth of Marion Kerr 22 November 1855
Old Monkland Lanark
Father William Kerr
Mother Elizabeth Anderson

Robert and Marion named a daughter Elizabeth Anderson Davidson
