Thanks Annie These are my great great parents and I'm "responsible" for this on FindaGrave I've related quite a few of the family on the site We're hoping to erect the stone again I've been researching the family for some years and have quite a bit of info as well as contacts, descendants of about half a dozen of their sons I'd love to hear from anyone who is connected

Don't be sorry Annie I've had a lot of help and am always grateful. Only too happy the post has been "revived" Just hoped Dors would get in touch with me as I've been researching the tree and have quite a lot of info.

Hi
I did post 5 mins ago but appears not to have taken.
I started looking only today at my father`s line as I was interested to know where the name Birrell Davidson came from. Looks like we share great great grandparents. I am in Edinburgh. My grandfather and grandmother, William Jarvie and Euphemia (nee Davidson ) moved to Edinburgh to avoid sons becoming miners. They had two sons ( Daniel and Birrell )  Before that both the Davidsons and the Jarvies appear all to have been miners in the general area of Fife and Falkirk.The Birrell trail seems to stop with our great great great grandfather as he was named Robert who married Mary nee Sharp . Confusion arises for me because from what I can see Isabella nee Westwater`s father`s name was Henry Westwater Sharpe and his wife was a  Davidson. You may have information on this ?  From what I have gathered on the Jarvie side there were a number of Sharps too.

Hello Dors
I have a Birrell in the tree married to an Agnes Jarvie (I'm in touch with their sons). I imagine Agnes and William might have been brother and sister - often the case in the Davidson family. The name Birrell comes from Mary Sharp's father - her sister Helen married James Davidson and also had a son called Birrell who emigrated to the USA. Our great great grandfather was the first Birrell Davidson. His wife Isabella was his cousin. I had no idea there were Sharps on the Jarvie side. I've sent you a PM with my email address or maybe you're on FB ? Don't want to go into much detail on those still alive on a public site. I also have lots of info on the ancestors

Hello
Wondering if anyone can help me connect the dots as to where May Davidson fits in. I'm sure its the right family but there is no mention of her anywhere. He mothers name is  Grace. May was born 24-5-1925 in Fairport Rd Lochore and died24-8-1983. She married John Robb Ried Black july 1949 before they immigrated to Australia around 1950. I believe she is connected to the Jarvie & Munro  families.

She might be a granddaughter of Birrell Davidson (1882 - 1918)  and Grace Emma Sparling. The Clan Davidson might be able to help out.
