Great work, Annie, Pam and Mary.

At this rate, all we'll need to determine is George Robertsons's shoe size and we'll have cracked it! :)

cheers

Paul

Margaret Maria MOLISON, chr 1822 in Fraserburgh ABD was one of the daughters of William Maule MOLISON and his wife Margaret DAVIDSON and thus one of the half-sisters of "our" Allan's maternal gfather, Alexander Strachan MOLISON.

Just for completeness.
There is an LDS submission for the following:
William Adams DAVIDSON married Margaret Maria MOLISON, 27 Mar 1851, Old Machar ABD.
And an extracted record for the following:
Catherine DAVIDSON b 23 Apr 1855, St Cyrus Kincardine, parents William Adam DAVIDSON and Margaret Maria MOLISON.

There is a Will on ScotlandsPeople for Margaret Maria; the Index lists her date and place of death.

Davidson   Margaret Maria,   04/09/1889, or Molison, of Balnagask, County of Kincardine, d. 26/06/1889 at Ventnor, Isle of Wight, intestate.

There are several mentions of Balnagask by Boongie Pam on page 51.  She mentioned Margaret (DAVIDSON) MOLISON's father Robert as being "of Balnagask".  She said that  Balnagask House was where Margaret (DAVIDSON) MOLISON (widow of William Maule MOLISON) died in 1877 (and I now note that the informant was M M DAVIDSON, daughter!).  And was where James MOLISON died in 1869.  She added that Balnagask House is now a care home for the elderly.

PS: I note that the Scottish Genealogy Society holds the following:
"DAVIDSON 1 LKS.MLN.RFW.DFS 1720-1989 T C 5 pages
Three linked family trees. Letter detailing members of the family of Balnagask."

Great work Pam; its good to see what I pieced together confirmed.  I'll try and get a photo of Balnagask House this weekend.  Craigshaw where James Molison was according to the will ref. would have been very close going by the roads that have replaced it.
I've been looking for William's death but guess he must have died prior to 1855.  Aberdeen library may have something on the family or even Balnagask House that will give us some clues, I try to go on Monday.

I really can't recall if this has been mentioned - but i googled Balnagash davidson - and found a family tree online with this...

(A) John Blaikie Manson. Born Old Meldrum 19th June 1843. Married at Balnagask House, Nigg, Kincardineshire, 24 August 1880, Margaret Davidson

There's no other mention than her name....

I thought I recalled Mansons from reading the string.....

Tom

P.S. - This has been the most amazing string - you guys are doing a great job...

Not sure how this fits in though!  I can only follow one or two lines of this tree at once!

Paul

Beaten to the post!  Well done Tom and great to have you aboard!

And of course, when we finally all crack up from over exposure to this thread, we can check in at the Balnagask House Nursing Home (but we'll be wearing cricket pads and AFL helmets if we've got any sense :()

Nice work Pam - all useful confirmation plus a few extra details to follow up.

Annie - I don't think any of those Robertsons tie in at present, but keep digging!

Susan/MaryA - I don't know what to make of these children either.  I'll have another look at them today and see if anything comes to mind.  But as far as I can see, if they are really all from the same family, 4 of them were born before Alice married Charles, so were they his or someone else's?

Would love to see a photo of Balnagask House!  Makes it all more real to see the places where these folk lived.
