David Cooper DAVIDSON

[robang66]

I am looking for any data on David Cooper Davidson, possibly son of Donald Davidson and Alison Cooper/Couper.  He was born about 1846/1847 and following his 1875 marriage to Ann Auflick in Tynemouth, Northumberland, migrated to Australia.  Have his marriage record, but can find nothing before that or after that.  I have looked into migration records and census records and found nothing.

Any direction and/or information on David Cooper Davidson will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks SO much.  I was looking on Trove but in Victoria.  At least now I know that he died before 1917 (when Ann died) and was alive in 1911 when David Ronald was married.  So I'll check between 1911 and 1917, hopefully still in Victoria.  Thanks very much for your direction here.
