[suzilad]

Hi ,
     His sister must have still been in Scotland in 1915 as he gives her as his nearest relative in his WW1 papers he has her down as Davis I have just checked and she is married to a David Davidson a coal miner

Found a portion of an article that refers to a Winnie McCrindle and her husband -

Not positive it's them, but maybe?

a daughter Edith b c 1887  who married a David Davidson in 1910 .Would you see if you can find anything on them.

Thank you very much

Suzilad

Can you just clarify the surname - the Canadian Attestation Papers say Mrs David DAVIS  Not finding a Canadian Passenger List for them under either name at the moment.  Would you have a date of birth for David - just guessing it would be about 1887

Thanks
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
                 He is David Davidson on marriage and birth certificate his date of birth is 18 March 1885 his father is David Davidson and his mother is Annie Carlisle on birth Carlyle on marriage.

Thanks again,

Hello Suzilad,

Still elusive on passenger list. Did they have any children before they left Scotland ?  Presuming there would be a few years between the marriage date and immigration to Canada if Edith was Mrs David Davis on the Attestation papers for Andrew McCrindle.

Hi Sandra,
               Unable to find any children for them on SP or deaths for David or Edith .I wondered if perhaps he had been killed in a mining accident as that was his occupation on marriage certificate and perhaps Edith had remarried. Still nothing -- then I wondered if he might have been killed  in WW1 but I couldn't find him as there were so many of the same name.                     
Thanks again.

Hello Suzilad,

Absolute pleasure - maybe you will find a re-marriage for Edith after 1915.  Wishing you the best of luck with the rest of your research.

All The Best
