Hi CaroleW,
Sorry If I gave the wrong impression, but this lady was the same age as my Mother, I am over 70 so she would probably be over 100 now and I don`t expect her to be alive.

Iam also looking for her father Alex I also don`t know where or when he died, he may have been a butcher,

She also had a brother Alex and if details of him came to light I would be interested,

Thank you for your help,,
Fortune

Many thanks Nell,

  Not sure where to start, but an American Lady on another site was researching a Liverpool Shipping Company called Elder Dempster Lines.
She has Elder in her family, she has been trying to ascertain if she has any connection with the name of one of the founders of the above shipping line in October 1868.
Mr Dempster was a John Dempster from the borders, but MR ALEXANDER ELDER`s origin  doesn`t seem to have been discovered - not even apparently by ex members of that line - his name sounds Scottish.
The American lady seems to be looking around  Dundee and Milnathort at the moment.
Has anybody any ideas.

My Grandfather Robert Lindsay Davidson, lived latterly (at least) in Glover Street Perth, He was a joiner and cabinet maker, he married twice.His first wife was Margaret Robertson (my Grandmother) who died, they had two children William (my father) and Catherine whowas unmarried.
I cannot give his date of birth or where he was born, but it would have been in and around Perth.. His mother`s name was Susan Lindsay Davidson, other names connected to the family somewhere are Dickson - Hay - Robertson - Burns.
Many thanks for your interest
