I have a brickwall in my family research and I wonder if anyone can assist. My grandfather's sister Margaret Ann Bell died in 1900 and her husband Young Davidson (born 1870 Easden, Northumberland  married again to Elizabeth Elliot born 1868.  At the time of the 1911 census they were living at Plashetts with their two children Margaret Ann (named after his first wife) and Walter.  Young's son from his marriage Jacob Davidson was staying with my grandfather, John Thomas Bell his brother William and his mother also at Plashetts.  In 1915 they had a daughter called Ann.  I think Young died in 1943 in Northumberland and his wife may have died in 1932.   My father always referred to a cousin called Nancy who died in October, 1977 and I think Nancy could have been Ann. I am sure she livfed in Northumberland.  Any assistance would be appreciated in trying to find a marriage for her or her death as I have been unable to find it in the indexes. Thank you for your help. Margaret Booth

There's a death for Young Davidson, aged 73, in 1943, Northumberland North First District; GRO Ref: Vol. 10b, Page 445. There's a marriage for Ann Davidson to Thomas O. Hunter in the third quarter of 1940; Northumberland North First District; GRO Ref: Vol. 10b, Page 1482. You could contact the Register Office to enquire if the bride's father's name is Young Davidson before commiting to a purchase. If that doesn't work out, it might be worth getting a copy of the death certificate with the hope that Ann was the informant and was married at the time.
