Fife / Re: Davidsons of Auchterderran
« on: Tuesday 20 September 16 22:52 BST (UK) »
Hi
I did post 5 mins ago but appears not to have taken.
I started looking only today at my father`s line as I was interested to know where the name Birrell Davidson came from. Looks like we share great great grandparents. I am in Edinburgh. My grandfather and grandmother, William Jarvie and Euphemia (nee Davidson ) moved to Edinburgh to avoid sons becoming miners. They had two sons ( Daniel and Birrell ) Before that both the Davidsons and the Jarvies appear all to have been miners in the general area of Fife and Falkirk.The Birrell trail seems to stop with our great great great grandfather as he was named Robert who married Mary nee Sharp . Confusion arises for me because from what I can see Isabella nee Westwater`s father`s name was Henry Westwater Sharpe and his wife was a Davidson. You may have information on this ? From what I have gathered on the Jarvie side there were a number of Sharps too.
