Title: DAVIDSON'S Petty Inverness
Post by: iandav on Friday 30 July 10 13:55 BST (UK)

Can anyone assist with information on the Davidson family from Petty near Inverness. They lived in the area during the mid 1850's

Hi iandav & welcome to RootsChat

The more information you can give us, the easier it is for us to help.

Do you have any given names, ages / date of birth etc?

Hi Ian

My own Davidson ancestors lived in Fisherton - Connage - Petty from well before
1725 ( Donald Davidson ) until my GreatGrandfather - William Davidson left in
1874 to marry Ann Young in Edinkillie,Moray.

If you can give me any names - with dates if possible - I'll try to see where your   part of the family fits in.

Hi
There seemed to be a mass movement of people from the Petty area in 1850s and 1860s . I am researchuing the Patience family from Petty who moved to Rockfield Village,Tarbat.I have a James Patience who married a Janet Smith(1856 in Petty)- her father was Donald Smith mother Ann Davidson all b. Petty but living in Rockfield in 1861 Census(Except Donald havent got too him yet- think he may have died before that)

Hope this helps
Susan

Hi Sue,

A  Patience Family Tree  (which I have access to ) seems to have definite links to your family.

The earliest are born in Petty -- later ones in Tarbat and more recent in Fearn.

On it , I have identified James Patience  ( 1834-1914 ) &  Janet Smith  ( 1831-1914 ) plus their daughter Ann.

Ann married David Patience in Tarbat ( 2nd Oct. 1885 ). David's ancestral line leads directly back to Janet Cameron ( b.1767 ) &

William Davidson  ( b.1758 ) ,  who are my own direct ancestors.

Hi Dav
This is actually my husbands family. I have a lot of information on the Patience tree & can see the connection through Ann & David. I have the Patience line back to Alexander & Margaret Johnstone.
Anything you want to know just ask & I'll see if I can help
