Alexander DAVIDSON m Elizabeth BOOTH, Aberdeenshire

[lynniedsn]

Hello, I have just researched one of my Ancestors death certicate and found out his parents were ALEXANDER DAVIDSON (Flesher) and ELIZABETH BOOTH they had a son JAMES DAVIDSON d, 1889 age 68 Peterhead, who Married JANET Paterson in Peterhead. But am not sure James parents came from Peterhead. Any info on Alexander Davidson and Elizabeth Booth would be appreciated.

Hi

The IGI has an entry for the marriage of James and Janet  11 NOV 1841, Peterhead, Aberdeen. If you view the original on Scotland's people you may find out more about the family. It would also be worth checking the 1841 census for them as that might give you a place of birth for the parents.

Thanks, so much for your time
but am confused with James Parents ???Its definetly Alexander Davidson (Flesher) and Elizabeth Booth on the death certificate

I HAVE JAMES & JANET CENSUS OF 1851 North street Peterhead, 1861 North Street Peterhead, 1871 North Street Peterhead, I think Janet died 1880, i have James in 1881 43 Longate Peterheadand he died in 1889. But none of his parents ALEXANDER and Elizabeth .so far

ugie street peterhead aberdeen
all born aberdeenshire
john davidson 40 flesher
elizabeth davidson 45
alexander davidson 15
william davidson 13
ann davidson 11
mary davidson 9

perhaps a look at elizabeth davidson(booth) death cert 1870 would reveal
if her husband was john or alexander and with a bit of luck it might even be
signed by son(james ?)

Hi
I was interested in your post as I have Peterhead Davidsons in my tree. I am related to the Davidsons listed by ev in the 1841 census (my 4x great grandparents.) I was curious since the Elizabeth listed in this census was also a Booth and I too wondered if your Alexander was also called John.

I had a quick look and couldn't seem to find much about Alexander but I did find a reference on the IGIs to a Christening of a James Davidson on 06 Apr 1826 in Peterhead with the parent's name given as Alexr Davidson. Could this be your relative?

Coincidentally, John and Elizabeth are living in the same street as James and Janet in the 1851 census. Families did tend to stick together and I've found many other of my Davidsons born and living in North St. I'd be thinking that John and Alexander are the same person.

  Yeah am confused about this one, i found details of JOHN and Elizabeth and the children they have
1. John Davidson - b/abt 1818
2. Alexander b/abt  1826
3. william b/abt 1828
4. Ann  b/abt  1830
5/ Mary b/abt  1832
6 John b/abt  1839

All Peterhead

BUT no JAMES DAVIDSON b abt 1818 - 1821

If you have These Davidson on your tree, we could maybe exchange info.
