Ireland / Looking for information on Moses and James Davidson
« on: Friday 25 March 22 23:17 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find any information on my ancestors before they moved to Scotland. I will post everything I know. All of the census information from 1861 onwards shows under born is "Ireland".
According to the 1871 Census, my gg grandfather James Davidson was born in Ireland in 1853, parents Moses Davidson (1853 - 1884) and Helen McBride (1826 - 1878).
Father - Moses Davidson born Ireland 1823
Mother - Helen McBride born Ireland 1826
James Davidson born Ireland 1853
Janet Davidson born Ireland 1857
Eliza Davidson born Lanarkshire 1867
Robert Davidson born Lanarkshire 1871
The 1861 census places them in Scotland so they have moved between 1857 (Janet's birth) and 1861.
I have found a marriage of "Ellen McBride and Moses Davison" in Ballymena in 1951 which could be them but I have no way of confirming this.
Grateful for any information at all.
