I am researching a davidson family in Forres. My g.grandparents were Janet Mackay born Golspie, Sutherlandshire and John Davidson ,a stone mason,born Ardclach in 1824,a son of Alexander Davidson and Eliza Donaldson. John and Janet were married in Golspie in1847and their eldest daughter was born in Golspie.She lived with her maternal grandparents in Dornoch until she married my grandfather, Thomas Matheson ,in 1873. John and Janet moved to Morayshire and were living at 15 North Back Street Forres with daughter Isobella in 1851.In 1861 they were living at 398 High Street with children .....Isobella ,Janet,Alexander,Johanna and William and by 1871 they had moved to 382 Hish street Forres.John died there on 2.5.1879 and Janet died at 294 High Street on 6.1.1886.Does anyone know anything about this family or their descendents? I would be grateful for any information . Ray Mackay Scourie.
