Scotland / Davidson family Fishermen Wick 1800's
« on: Tuesday 25 May 10 18:14 BST (UK) »
Hi, we are trying to trace any relatives of our gt grandfather Davidson who died in a collision at sea in 1908. He was owner of a big fishing vessel which was sunk due to another vessel from Buckie plouging into it 50 miles from teh coast of Wick. Two weeks earlier he lost his 7 yr old son who drowned in the harbour. His 2 (or 3) brothers surived the fishing vessel crash. His widow moved to Glasgow with her family to start a new life , one daughter of which was Anne who was my Grandmother. She also gave birth to a new baby 7 months after losing her husband. She sounded like an amazing woman to survive losing a young son, her husband within a month then finding she was expecting a new child as a widow.
We have bit more of a family tree but not much on our Gt Grandfathers surviving brothers.....any of this ring a bell with anyone?
