Need help
my mothers side of the family i have come up blank, not even my mother and her sisters can help,. Her grandmother Jane Ann Davidson was born 19th Jan 1912 and died March 1998, Liverpool her father George P Davidson, mother name not known. My grandfather was born 29 Oct 1909 and died liverpool 13 Nov 1991 parents names not known.
They where married in Liverpool

Can anyone help me in the right direction.

Births Mar 1912: Davidson, Jane A [Hampson] W.Derby 8b 1115

Marriage: GEORGE PARKIN DAVIDSON married CATHERINE HAMPSON
1895 Dec qtr; LIVERPOOL - Volume 8B - Page 16

A birth registration for 1912 will give the mother's maiden name. In this case it appears to be Hampson.

You beat me to it!

1910+1 census...

You can access the Ancestry website in your local library and using that you will be able to see George's marriage and his baptism. You will also be able to access the census and find the Davidsons and the Curries on the various census.

George Parkin Davidson b 1876 was brother to my great grandfather Walter Uriah Davidson, (My grandfather was Robert Parkin Davidson) .Their father was also George Parkin Davidson and his father was William, and his was James b c 1789 Carlisle.

Your subject line includes Simpson. Where does that name fit in the 'scheme of things'? Is the connection this marriage?

JANE A DAVIDSON married THOMAS SIMPSON
1932 Dec qtr - LIVERPOOL - Volume 8B - Page 206

My grandfather was born 29 Oct 1909 and died liverpool 13 Nov 1991 parents names not known.

I think the grandfather must be Simpson but no details of his name given?

My grandmother was simpson maiden name davidson

Matching the name in the marriage above I think this could be his birth...
Births Dec 1909: Simpson, Thomas - Toxteth Park 8b 194

There are two possible Thomas Simpsons in the 1910+1 so we need his father's name from the marriage cert to be sure [to be sure! ].

Ive just been informed my grandmother Ann Davidson had brothers William, George, James and sisters Isabelle, Katherine and Jessica

You are welcome but beware! This genealogy bug is highly addictive!

I am upto 1847 with George P Davidson and his wife Mary A .......... from Ruthin, Wales, which is unbelievable, as i have just moved there last year, its only a small place that hasnt really chaged in the last 600 years ,her house would probably still be there. How can i find out where and what was her maiden name. I'm truly gob smacked, my father was the one that thought he was part Welsh and it looks like my mother has beat him to it. THANKS AGAIN.

Where did you get the year 1847 from? Is it a typo for 1841? If yes please tell us the census reference so we can see the relevant page.
