Hi there, I'm new to this list - I am looking for any information about the DAVIDSON family living in Nairn in 1870 and Forres in 1872 >From the 1871 census and BC searches I obtained the following information: John DAVIDSON (b:1842, Berwick, NBL) - Commercial traveller (Drapery) Hester DAVIDSON (Nee RING, b:1844, Chippenham, Wilts) - m:1869, Pancras, London Mary DAVIDSON (b:1870, Nairn) George DAVIDSON (b:1872, Forres) William DAVIDSON (b:1873, Forres) Margaret DAVIDSON (b:1874, Forres) I'm trying to find out where John DAVIDSON et al. were prior to, and after 1870 (where they were living, any clues to why they moved,etc.?). I believe that by 1891 they were possibly living in Halifax, England, but that's unverified at present. Any information would be very helpful. Many thanks, Bill Leavens, Herts, UK
Bill, The Davidsons were one of the principal families which lived in Nairnshire for generations, from at least the early 17th century through to the present day. In particular they had a strong presence in Ardclach and Cawdor parishes. My own 4 times great grandmother was Anne Davidson born 21st May 1786 in Ardclach. She married Alexander Fraser on 18th June 1806 in Ardclach as well.
