Walter Davidson was from Middlebie his wife Janet Murray was from Canonbie
according to IGI, all the children were born in Hutton and Corrie, except the
second William and the last child Jane were born at Middlebie. No fact's found about William except, possibly in 1841 at Hopehouse, Applegarth with a wife and first son Walter. Margaret died 12/09/1858 on the certificate Margaret
Dalgli(e)sh labourers widow. Nothing can be found about Mary, Thomas was a
shepherd and married Janet Carlyle from St Mungo, thomas died 07/01/1873.
nothing can be found about James, and Jane married John Davidson from
Canonbie.  We belive Walter Davidson's parent's were William Davidson and
Mary Hyslop.
