Duncan Wright Davidson
Born 10 Nov 1860
Carmunnock Lanarkshire Scotland

Father: John Sinclair Davidson b 26 Apr 1829 Archattan Argyll
Mother: Agnes Glassford b 1830 Glasgow Lanarkshire


I have Birth death & Marriage for John & Agnes and also Birth Cert for Duncan and for his siblings Jane & John.


on 21 Jan 1869 family arrived in New York USA, departed Glasgow Scotland.

from "Caledonia" Passenger List

John 37, Gardener
Mrs, 35, Wife, (Agnes)
Jane, 11,

the family is on the 1861 Census in Castlemilk Carmunnock

and I have them in the 1870 Census at

I did find a John S Davidson with wife Laura and children in 1900 Census mother Agnes which would be possible but can't seem to find Jane or Duncan anywhere.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi Familydetective

Sorry that was remiss of me not to mention that John Sinclair Davidson was married previously to Agnes Ferguson, both Jane MacAdam Davidson 1857 & John Sinclair Davidson 1858 are Agnes Fergusons Children


The 1861 Census is my family Davine W Davidson is Duncan Wright Davidson that is the last Census I have for them in Scotland the next is in 1870 Mississippi.

John Sinclairs second marriage

Marriage to Agnes Glassford

9 Nov 1859 Bridgeton Glasgow
John Sinclair Davidson 30 of Castlemilk Parish Carmunnock Widower Gardner
Agnes Glassford 28 of 21 Millborough St Glasgow Spinster Milliner

Any clues on that would be greatly appreciated.

I saw that one and put it aside for later review, Agnes is just plain Agnes no middle name that I'm aware of.

However,

This is the 1900 census with John (son) Agnes as mother

Name: John S Davidson
[Joan Davidson]
Age: 41
Birth Date: Dec 1858
Birthplace: Scotland
Home in 1900: Beat 4, Newton, Mississippi
Race: White
Gender: Male
Immigration Year: 1869
Relation to Head of House: Head
Marital Status: Single
Spouse's Name: Laura Davidson
Father's Birthplace: Scotland
Mother's name: Agnes Davidson
Mother's Birthplace: Scotland
Household Members:
Name Age
John S Davidson 41, head, b1858, Scotland, Druggist, Arrived 1869 Naturalised
Laura Davidson 35, wife, b1865, Mississippi
Sue R Davidson 4, daug, b1895, Mississippi
Agnes Davidson 65, mother, b1835, Scotland, Arrived 1869
John Ivey 17, nephew, b1882 Mississippi (parents Alabama & Scotland)
C L Jackson 20, Boarder

and the details fit, Duncan's Occ on 1880 actually say Pill Cek (Pill Clerk?) and Jno S as Druggist

I had thought that John Ivey could possibly be Jane MacAdam Davidsons son

John Sinclair Davidson married Laura Hendry,

I appreciate your efforts but I'm concentrating on finding Duncan at the moment and death of John Sinclair Davidson Snr as Agnes/Jane A. is a widow in 1880 Census.

Oh Dear!! that last statement didn't come out right. I really appreciate your efforts in finding Duncan in 1880 Census.

I have details of John & Laura and I'm concentrating on finding Duncan, and would love to find details of him later and also John Sinclair Davidson Snr death.
