Looking for information on the descendants (and ancestors) of Daniel Davidson (b.1836) and Isabella Paul (b.1841) married December 6, 1861 in Belhelvie, Aberdeen, Scotland. They had 14 children. I checked the IGI but there's a lot of data missing.

You also asked about their ancestry hence my reply

There is 1 tree on ancestry with Daniel Davidson born 8 March 1864 Holm and Paplay , Orkney with a wife called Isabella Paul. Is this date right? They have 14 children

Been having another look at this family via ofhs census and they are in Holm as far as the 1891 census adding to their family. also found a memorial inscription for one of them. According to the census in Orkney David was born at Clyne in Sutherlandshire and Isabella was born in Aberdeenshire. Only one of their children ( James K ) was born at Belhelvie in 1863. If this is the family you are looking for I can give you the rest of the info

I believe that Daniel Davidson (married to Isabella Paul) of Scomuir, Holm and Paplay was my Great Grandfather. My grandfather was Peter Davidson (Daniel's son) born 08 Aug 1872, in Scomuir , Holm and Paplay.
Any information on Daniel's or Isabella's families from before this would be greatly apreciated.
Also what became of Peters brothers and sisters would be of great interest.
Thank you ever so much

I am also looking for more information on Daniel Davidson and Isabella (Paul) Davidson. I am their Great Great Granddaughter. I descend through their daughter Mary Ann Davidson, who married James Robertson. I would like to know more about the Davidson line, if anyone has information.
Thank you,

From my FTM database I generated my known descendants of Donald Davidson and Jean McIntyre, great-grandparents of Daniel Davidson who married Isabella Paul.
