England / Re: DAVIDSON family research help!
« on: Monday 02 March 15 00:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi again. I've ordered a birth certificate for a John Thomas DAVIDSON, Sep 1868 quarter, from the Manchester City Council. Hopefully that will be of use to me.

Could somebody please aid me in searching the 1871 Census? We're looking for:

John Thomas DAVIDSON, son, aged 3-4
Thomas James DAVIDSON (his father, no idea of age or occupation, but deceased before 1905)
Somewhere in Lanchashire

I have no money to access these online  :'(

Thanks!

Hi again,

Manchester records arrived yesterday!

John Thomas DAVIDSON, father of Thomas DAVIDSON (my g.grandad), was a widower when he married Annie LISTER in September 1905, in Chorlton on Medlock. His age was 38, occupation Publishers Traveller. His father was Thomas James DAVIDSON (deceased).

Any tips on where to next? On one record John Thomas states he was born in London, and in the 1911 he states Manchester, so I wonder if teh key is to research his father, Thomas James DAVIDSON.

Thanks  :)

Hi everyone,

Death Certificate arrived today! It confirms that Thomas DAVIDSON is the same Thomas mentioned in the 1911 Census, and on the 1920/21 Passenger List:

Father: Thomas DAVIDSON
Mother: Annie DAVIDSON (nee LISTER)
Born: Manchester

This means I can move forward with ordering his birth certificate, and the marriage certificate of Thomas and Annie.

Thanks for all your help.

Previous research on another thread notes Samuel and Sarah BATEMAN as traveling with Thomas Davidson. And yes, the lists are alphabetical so all Davidson's were grouped together, but with different destinations  :)

1901 Census search for John Thomas DAVIDSON with birthdate c.1868/69 on familysearch.org turned up two Johns, the Manchester we've possibly eliminated, and this:

John Davidson
Age:    32
Head
b. London

Can anyone see who else is with him, and his occupation?

Many thanks again everyone, this is very helpful.

It seems my job is to confirm that the Thomas on the 1911 Census and subsequent shipping records is my g.grandad. From there I can request a few certificates and work backwards.

Any tips on what certificates to buy, if you were in my shoes?

Thanks again!
