Durham / Newspaper Obits - DAVISON
« on: Tuesday 06 May 08 16:03 BST (UK) »
Hello
I have had some good fortune with data from the Northumberland & Durham FHS which has identified my ggggg-grandfather:
George Davison of Blaydon - died April 1816 Swalwell and his son
James Davison of Swalwell - died 23rd April 1851 at Swalwell and buried at Whickham.
Would anyone know if there was a local newspaper which would have contained an obituary or funeral report on my ancestors.
Both were well respected community members.
George signed the application for a dissenting church meeting place in Swalwell in 1799.
James was a member of Crowleys Crew and had a headstone erected by fellow freemasons in appreciation of his character.
Many thanks
