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.

US Lookup Requests / Annie Cosgrove
« on: Tuesday 15 March 22 16:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a bit of help on one of my ancestors - Annie Cosgrove

Born 1901 in Kilmarnock, Scotland. Father William Cosgrove and mother Margaret Cosgrove.

She travelled aboard the "Cameronia" on 23rd March 1925 to New York from Glasgow. The record shows her final destination was Arlington, NJ.

After she arrived in New York I can't find anything. My mother seems to remember she came back to visit in the 50s and her husband was called Jack but we have no surname.

I would be grateful for any information found.

Thanks

Midlothian / Dean Orphanage
« on: Tuesday 15 June 21 14:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some information on the Dean Orphanage from 1920's/1930's period. Was this specifically an orphanage for children or was it also a hospital?

I have an ancestor who has this orphanage listed as her usual residence on her death certificate but was 36 when she died.

Thanks
