DAVIDSON family - NEWBURGH 1893/KIRKCALDY FROM 1908

[GrandmaSheila]

Mary left her husband William Davidson in about 1908 and moved to Kirkcaldy - the family are living at 329 High Street in 1909 and are still there in 1932.  The father of her last two children Thomas and Charlotte was Patrick Carney.
So it seems we will never know where William (Randolph) Davidson originally came from as presumably he will not be with Mary and the family in the 1911 Census. 
Does anyone have any information on this family please., I have been unable to find a death certificate on Scotlands People for either William or Mary.

Thanks jacci

There were quite literally hundred of pits scattered throughout Fife and the info you've given will surely be a help.  I'm due a visit to New Register House in Edinburgh this week so can check up on the names and dates to see if there's a link.

You see GrandmaSheila ... we shouldnae gae up on Wullie!

Regards

Thank you to you all for taking such an interest in Wullie - maybe someday we will find him!

Grandma Sheila

And thank you for pointing out where Aberdour is - I live in Lancashire so it is not always easy - far from being cheeky you are being a help.

hi grandmasheila
thanks for that aberdour is just down the road from where i am in kirkcaldy.
as i said it is a pretty village complete with a castle.
if you get past 1855 i have the pre 1855 death index handy sometimes for those elusive relatives in fife.
