Thanks Goldie, I had the information on the family from the 1841 census but what I couldn't find was anything about the death of George Davidson; his wife Margaret being shown as a widow in the 1851 census. As you say, he would have been born c1797 which ties in with him being 40 in the 1841 census which rounded adult ages down to the nearest multiple of 5, but slightly earlier than I was assuming. It appears my original assumption based on occupations was wrong!! > Bairds seem to be residents of Buchanhaven as well, and there are quite a > few brothers there. I wonder what the connection between the Bairds and > the > Davidson's are? The Baird family members appear on the 1841 FreeCEN census data as residents of Buchanhaven. They are first on the list at that address, two households prior to the Davidson family. Three of the Davidson family were given the middle name Baird, including my gg grandfather William Baird Davidson. Quite a compliment for next door neighbours but one or maybe they were also good customers! Thanks again, Brian Davidson

The BAIRDS may have been good friends, but again I wouldn't rule out a connection.....mothers were cousins or what? I am sure the death I found is your George. You notice he is gone on the 1851 census and his wife is given as "W"......but he still had young children, if you do the math it therefore has to be before 1851 but after the last Jane born about 1849........and don't discount the fact that Mgrt could have been 'carrying' when he died. Good luck with this; if you need more help I can try my hand.

NOW ~~~~~~ HOW good is this information..........I just had a hunch.........and from the films I saw yesterday again, just looking for Davidson, I think I figured out there were at least 4 brothers involved in Buchanhaven. I have also aside from my Walkers, a ANDERSON famly there.....in the 60's.......James Anderson (his mother was a Walker) m Barbara COW (OPR'S says), but I suspect COWE......and then another Buchanhaven family becomes involved, Buchan's. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see the interaction between all these families in such a tiny community. What a hoot that would have been.....Goldie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Isobel Davidson" <Isobel.Davidson@tesco.net> To: <aberdeen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 8:42 AM Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] Davidson-vintner-Peterhead > > > Alexander Davidson married Jane Baird > > Regards > > Isobel Davidson > > > > Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] Davidson-vintner-Peterhead > Goldie said > >> Here is the information on George DAVIDSON, vintor.
