I saw Sharon's original query about her Middleton folk but ignored it as it sounded like they were Banffshire people. However, when I saw the last few e-mails where she mentions the London area, I wonder if I can help. I live in Cromarty, across the Moray Firth from Moray and Banffshire. A family of Middleton came from London, I think, in the late 1700's and farmed at Davidston, about two miles out of Cromarty. The family is still there and have been prominent in the community. I will try to make contact with somebody in the family and put them on to you. Alex Davidson, Cromarty Researching Davidson, Forsyth, Reid and Murray in Buckie and area.

Does anyone have any information about Davidsons in Findhorn & Kinloss? The marvellous Libindex database shows that my Davidsons were from Findhorn ca 1800-1840: Robert Davidson m (ca 1800) Margaret Murray: Alexander (1808-1890) m (1840) Marion Grant and possibly: Isobel (1804) Robert (1818) They may have been connected with Dunbars from Nairn (Alexander Dunbar b ca 1806).
