Hi,

The Ship Launch Inn in Egremont Cumbria was closed in May of last year.  It was situated on 68 North Road Egremont.  The old railway station opened 1855 closed in 1964 used to be next door.  Think I may have a photograph somewhere, will have a look.

In the middle of the 19th century - The Ship, changed its name in the advent of rail travel to "Railway Hotel" - in 1880 Mary Smith was the Landlady. In 1900 it was The Ship Launch with John Smith as the Landlord.

Hi to Ayemas and Sandra, My Great, Great Grandfather was a Thomas Davidson who was the Landlord of the Ship Launch Inn after retiring from the Army until his death in 1897. He was married to a Margaret McLaughlin and one of their sons, a Charles Davidson was my Great Grandfather. He married a Margaret Maude Tidyman. They ended up in Southern Rhodesia where my Grandfather John Davidson and  his siblings were born. I see that in your postings, the name Tidyman was mentioned several times. I hope that this information may be of interest to you and I would appreciate any information that you may have on my ancestors.

The Post Office Directory of 1858 lists a Mrs A Waddell as the publican of the Ship on Main Street Egremont at that time.

The Post Office Directory of 1873 lists a Grainger Noble as the publican of the Ship Launch on Main Street at that time.
But the Ship Launch was on North Road at Number 68

The old Captains House at Bigrigg used to be called the Ship.  But that's on Springfield Road.

Hi Sandra, Thank you so very much for your reply and for all the info you have gathered in such a short time. I am amazed. I don't know how to thank you. I get so despondent when trying to find information and keep coming up with zero. My big stumbling blocks are Thomas's (b 1824 ) correct birth place, some searches show Scotland and some show Belfast, Ireland. His wife Margaret's death info is also difficult. I had 1921 but that was not her, so don't know what happened to her after Thomas's death in 1896. I eventually got their marriage certificate. 28th June 1859 in Preston. It gave his father as a Robert Davidson who was a butler by profession. It gave her father as a Laughlin Mc Laughlin who was a Broker by profession. But trying to find their parents is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. If you have any info on them, I would appreciate it if you would pass it on to me.
Once again, thank you so much,
Regards,
Graham.

Wow, you are fantastic. I think I need to come to you for lessons. It is starting to appear that the family all somehow went to or ended up in Kimberley, South Africa. My Great Grandfather, Charles definitely spent time in Kimberley before moving up to Southern Rhodesia ( Bush Tick Mine, south of Bulawayo ) where he and his wife, Margaret Maude Tidyman,  had most of their children. He then went off prospecting and was never seen again. That's the next piece of my puzzle, as it is not known where he went off to.
Thanks again, you are a star.
Regards,
Graham Davidson.

Tried Rhodesia but nothing came to light.  Maybe he might turn up one day.
Noticed, your tree had Margaret Maude death as 1 Feb 1954 Bulawayo. S. Rhodesia. (aged 81 years)
Was Charles still alive then or had he disappeared long before that, he would have been similar age ?

Margaret Maude's death was on 24th March 1954 on her Death Certificate and it states she was a widow. Her late husband Charles died in about 1926.
