descendants of william mclaren davidson
« on: Wednesday 05 November 14 09:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone
I was wondering if any one may have any information or photos of John (Jack) Davidson or his sister Mary Davidson?
So far i have my grandfather william davidson (their brother, my grandfather) and a few of the other siblings plus my great grandparents Eliza and Williams information but all i have of uncle jack is his time in australia including his inquest and death cirt but no photo to go with his story and with mary davidson all i know is what my grandad told my dad and his sister which wasnt much just that she died shortly after great grandma eliza. So if any one has any information on them or any davidson's please let me know and if you are looking for any information i have quite a fair bit including the davidson family tree which goes quite far back, then feel free to contact me and ill email what i can. Kind regards, Madeleine Davidson.

welcome to Rootschat Madeleine,

apart from uncle Jack in Australia we would need details of places they lived in order to narrow the search.

also dates would be helpful.

rootschat policy prevents disclosing info on living people, though that that does not apply to the people you have named so far.

when you have made two more posts you will be able to use the private message system, but do not give your email address on your posts  -( prevents spam etc.)

A simple reply to this post would count then you can make another post with any info eg dates,places.

Hi taffie
So far in the family trees i have Great Aunt Mary born in 1918 and died possibly in 1954 due to annorexia/starvation just after her mother my Great Grandmother passed away i know she was living in Restalrig in Edinburgh though they wer from  Aberdeenshire.
Great Uncle Jack was born in 1909 and died Novemeber 1927 after being in Swan Hill Australia for only a few month i have everythig from his ticket to australia, inquest reports, death cirt and his burial number plus information about when he was living in Swan Hill and after reading both accounts how he died i still think it looks suss to how he exactually drowned in the Murray River all i really need is a photo so when i visit his grave next year i can put a photonin his grave marker im having made for him as of at the moment hes just another number in a cemertary.
I also would like to find out more about my great grandparents (Eliza Sherrif Rait b.1888 d.1950s and William Mclaren Davidson b.1885 d.1960s), my grandad told my alot when i was younger as i apent a lot of time with my grandparents but thats all i know and coz im in australia is makes it even harder to try get information and photos so any info is always good info ;)
Thanx Madz
