This is really interesting Pat. Thank you.
I have been searching for this couple for years and can't get any further.
Elizabeth, daughter of Robert and Marion, married Thomas Davidson in 1839 in Penicuik.
she was 22 in the 1841 census, living in Temple. ( making her born around 1820)
Marion and Robert were Married in 1814 so it seems safe to assume there were earlier children.
In 1851 Elizabeth was living in West Linton.
In 1861 they owned a farm called Kittleyknow, near carlops West Linton.
(which I visited on my last holiday to Scotland last September )
Eliz died at Kittlybridge in 1872 at age 51. (I have cert) This is where I found her Parents names.
Her father is marked deceased but not her mother, which is the reason I have been trying to find her. I've been up a lot of blind allys.
Alexander and Mary Rammage, - I don't have any prove that this is the right couple and hoped to work out through names if there seemed a connection.
Could I ask a bit about your Margaret Brown?
Do you have her Death cert and when and where was she born? is there any other details about her parents on anything.?
according to Elizabeth's, she was born in west linton but that could be an assumption on the part of her son, who filled out the details.
I am sorry I don't have any other siblings, that is why it's great to find out about Margaret. You are welcome to have all I have on Elizabeths children. and all the right and wrong certificates I have downloaded from Scotlands People. for elimination purposes.
My maiden name was Davidson. And although I have lived in Australia for over forty years I was born in West Calder Midlothian (then, now west Lothian).
Thank you for getting in touch. cheers Margaret Foster
