Edward Davidson mystery
« on: Thursday 18 January 24 09:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi folks I have just found a birth of another member of a family I’m researching

Edward Davidson was born on 2nd aug 1923 , at boddam , Peterhead,
Aberdeenshire

He had a few siblings ,

Including Alexander which I posted a few weeks back about ,

Other siblings include , Nellie , AnnaBella , William and James


John Fraser Davidson was also a sibling of Edward


, apparently John was very badly hurt in the war ?

John was known to have a son named Edward too that apparently tragically fell from a cliff and died ?


Can anyone help me find what happened to Edward born in 1923

I hope this is allowed as he would be over 100 years if he’s still alive

Thanks

Ryan

You haven't given any parental details - in particular his mothers maiden name

Have you looked for a marriage/death for him on Scotlands People?  There is a death in 1973 aged 50

If Edward died in Scotland there is only one death with no middle name but no mothers maiden name,
There are three others with a middle name and mmn, none Simpson.

John Fraser Davidson died 1981 - see www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Have you looked on SP for the other death??  I had no difficulty finding William Simpson Davidson's death
