Hello Barbara,

Thank you very much.

I'd have no hope of finding the family in FreeCEN with Isabella as 'Isai' and Elizabeth as 'Elisa' but I'll try again now.

Regards,

Dave

A tree has this death for James:

1862 Died at Sea on Ship "Orwell", Coast of Africa

He was not on his way to Australia:

DAVIDSON James, wife, 3 ch arrived in SA 1847-10-13 aboard Lady MacNaghten (Lady McNaughton) from London 1847-07-01 [Source:6]


so he must have been going to Scotland or returning from a visit to Scotland. ???


His father John died 1826 Peterhead according to the tree.

Elizabeth McNicol b. 1794 and died 1820 so it seems there were only two sons:

James b. 1817
John b. 1820

 

[barbarajoh]

I wonder why John died in Aberdeenshire if his son was born in Angus?

Can't find a marriage either.

Barbara

 

[DaveHam9]

I think it will remain a mystery, Barbara.

Thanks for looking. I can't find the marriage.

Oh. I didn't add that the tree has John b. 1820 Scoonie, Fife.

No info re John senior's occupation.

I don't know if the 'John' bit and his death is accurate or not. All I know is that Elizabeth's middle name was McNicol.

John b. 1820 also ended up in Victoria but I'm not chasing him.

Regards,

Dave
