Davisons 1900s-?

Good work Boo

Thanks Trish and Carole
Can't take any credit - FindMyPast transcription meant I found them easily but as Ancestry seems to be more widely used I looked to see how it was transcribed on there.

Oh you are all absolutely fantastic - thank you so much for your finds!

Looks like Joseph's MMN may also be 'Davison'. Haven't been able to find a Harry or Harold so could be a middle name? Will see if their daughter-in-law remembers anything.

Re Joseph D who died c 1974 where in Northumberland did he live?
Nothing obvious for death reg that year in NBL.
Only 1 born 1880

Don't know for certain but marriage is registered in North Seaton and he worked at Ashington (no dates given).

Can you clarify what you mean by "he permanently left England over 50yrs ago"

My grandfather married, had children and relocated to New Zealand 50 years ago. I don't believe he has been back since and don't believe he has maintained contact with anyone other than his brother.

Joseph's father on his marriage record is listed as 'Joseph Davison', and my grandfather believes Joseph (Jr.) died in 1974. My grandfather says that he had a brother named 'Harry', who married a 'Molly' and lived next door to my grandfather growing up as he was friends with their (now late) son. I haven't been able to find any details on Harry, Molly, or anything like a common MMN on FreeBMD - but my grandparents are still in contact with Harry's son's wife so will try see if she remembers anything.

Do you have a rough idea of the timeframe  in which your Granda lived next door to Harry and Molly and their son (as he's deceased do you know this son's first name?)and was this in Ashington?

I'm exploring an "outside chance possible" but am still looking for something more tangible so I can avoid sending you down a rabbit hole.

They all lived on Maple Street in Ashington. My grandfather lived there from his birth until 1967. The son's name was Alan and he had an older sister named Sheila (my grandfather does not remember anything else about her). No mention of if/when they relocated but Alan married in 1969.
