Davidson. birth 1813c gamrie

[lynellen]

George Davidson
Born about 1813
Died 30 May 1863 in Gamrie

Lived in Gamrie, Turriff and Fyvie. I am guessing born there or close by.
Married Margaret Booth 6 or19 July 1845 in Gamrie. Cannot find any other info on Margaret, other than she was already deceased in 1869
Had many children, most born in Gamrie

Would really like to find birth details to help me trace his parents.
Parents MAY have been John Davidson and Janet (Jessy) Smollett (not sure how accurate this info is).
Any info would really help
Thanks

IGI has births,

George Davidson, 27th November 1814 at Gamrie to James Davidson and Jean Torie.
Added :- Scotland's People has the birth/christening, 10th December 1814

This may or may not be them.

Hi LE

I assume that you've seen the Statutory death record showing on the Scotlands People site:

1863 Gamrie, Banff:
George Davidson, aged 50. Mother's mn Smollet

If you obtain this cert via the site (pay to view), it would give his parents' names.

Hi GNU

Thank you for the info, but I don't think it's the correct George. I now realise that his parents were John and Janet (nee Smollet).
I think the Booth line is worth checking as this may be the right one, Really grateful. Keep the info coming !!!!
