Family History Beginners Board / Laughlin McLaughlin
« on: Saturday 10 May 25 17:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am looking for any information with regard to Laughlin McLaughlin who was a broker. He had a daughter Margaret who was born about 1844 and got married to a Thomas Davidson in Preston on 28th June 1859. One of the witnesses of the marriage was a Stephen Mc Laughlin ( not sure of relationship to Laughlin or Margaret ) The other witness was a Mary Ann O'Neill. Thomas's Fatherwas a Robert Davidson who was listed as a butler. Any info would be a great help.
Many thanks,
Graham Davidson.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Regards,
Graham D.
