My great-great grandfather, Ralph Hall Davidson, made my life much simpler when he put on the 1861 census for Ulgham, NBL, that he was born at Oxnam, Scotland. I suspect that he had a mother who was a HALL named possibly Margaret or Agnes HALL. Father's name was Thomas DAVIDSON, sometimes spelled DAVISON. Ralph was a shepherd born about 1815. Married Agnes STRAUGHAN born Carham, NBL in Kiirknewton, NBL, in 1847. The family moved aroundnorthern NBL, finally settling in the area of Pegswood, NBL. Ralph died 3 April 1898 and is buried at Bothal. Agnes died in 1900, also buried at Bothal. Betsy Earley
