Hi folks I have just found a birth of another member of a family I’m researching
Edward Davidson was born on 2nd aug 1923 , at boddam , Peterhead,
Aberdeenshire
He had a few siblings ,
Including Alexander which I posted a few weeks back about ,
Other siblings include , Nellie , AnnaBella , William and James
John Fraser Davidson was also a sibling of Edward
, apparently John was very badly hurt in the war ?
John was known to have a son named Edward too that apparently tragically fell from a cliff and died ?
Can anyone help me find what happened to Edward born in 1923
I hope this is allowed as he would be over 100 years if he’s still alive
Thanks
Ryan

You haven't given any parental details - in particular his mothers maiden name
Have you looked for a marriage/death for him on Scotlands People? There is a death in 1973 aged 50
-
Parents of Edward are
Alexander gibb davidson and
Margaret Knox Simpson
Thanks Carole
-
If Edward died in Scotland there is only one death with no middle name but no mothers maiden name,
There are three others with a middle name and mmn, none Simpson.

John Fraser Davidson died 1981 - see www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Have you looked on SP for the other death?? I had no difficulty finding William Simpson Davidson's death
-
Yes but I’m struggling with Alexander as seen in my last post and William
-
See my reply above re William
-
Did you find a death in rosskeen ?
This is not the correct William
-
How do you know he died in Rosskeen if you cannot find a death entry?
-
I don’t know but there is an entry which I thought was him but I’m sure it’s not
And you said you had no problem to find it ?
Thanks for you for your help
You said
John Fraser Davidson died 1981 - see www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Have you looked on SP for the other death?? I had no difficulty finding William Simpson Davidson's death
-
Have you purchased any of the certificates to prove one way or the other?
-
No but if you look
At the other births , there is more than one for 1915.1916,
I have found a newspaper cutting that mentions the death in 1978 rosskeen ,
The fathers middle name is wrong and I don’t think there was a brother Charles

I believe this is the wrong family but the mothers maiden name is the same
-
Is there anyway to see if Edward and his brother William was involved in world war 2?
