Again, using the free search facility, Irene Daniel Davidson married in 1939. Her marriage certificate will name her parents.

This is the birth of Irene in 1914, as previously mentioned by rootgatherer.
You can order the certificate through ScotlandsPeople, to see who her parents were, as well as the date and place of her parents' marriage.

Davidson is a common name, so I have no idea if this person might be related or not. It's the Wireless Cottages address which makes it interesting. I don't have a sub to FMP, so haven't read the whole article:

Again using the free search facility at Scotlandspeople there is a death in 1995 for an Elizabeth McPhe Milne born 1905 +/- 1 year.

There is only 1 birth for an Elizabeth McPhe Milne in Scotland between 1855 and 1913

Not sure why you think your mother was orphaned but perhaps it is just a co-incidence that an Irene Daniel Davidson born in 1914 died in 1990 (found using the free search facility on Scotlandspeople).


A search for births on Scotlandspeople for Irene Daniel Davidson between 1855 and 2013 reveals only one match.


If you buy credits for Scotlandspeople, you will be able to view / download Elizabeth's birth registration which will give you the date and place of her parents marriage.

Which Stoneywood Corinne - there is one in Falkirk, Stirlingshire and one is an area of the City of Aberdeen. I'm guessing Aberdeen as a google search throws up a result for Stoneywood Paper Mill, Aberdeen?

Like brummiejan, I would ask what info are you after? There are many Davidson families in Aberdeen/shire, for links you could try the GR link top right of this page under Search, then Search all member trees and see if there is anyone else researching the names you know.

If you haven't used Scotland's People - it is a Pay to view site but very reasonable, you will be able to look at actual certificates for births over 100years old, marriages 75 years and deaths 50 years, and reference numbers are there for "younger" ones which you can order.

Hi Corinne.
I can't help you personally, but may I just make a suggestion? Hope you don't mind, just to help!
You seem to have a fair bit of info already, so it isn't entirely clear what you are trying to discover - might be worth being a bit more specific than saying 'any information'.
Might also be worth adding location to your heading, presumably it's Scotland.
I assume you have checked out Scotland's People site already?

I am looking for details on my grandmother Irene Daniel Davidson, such as who her family were, her mom and dad, perhaps locating the father of my mother born out of wedlock. March 10 1934 and domicled: 2 wireless cottages
Stoneywood Scotland. My mother was than orphaned at Whinwell Orphanage for years and then transported at age 11 in the SS Erria ship from Glasgow to Port of Montreal in Canada and then travelled across Canada via train to Vancouver Islands Cowichan Valley Prince of Fairbrige Farm. Did anyone know her at all?
Has anyone heard of the Davidson family in Stoneywood??It would be the Stoneywood near the Davidson Mill.
My parents were both Lost Children of the Empire
My father was John Ronald Milne born in London England Oct 21 1929 and then brought to Scotland where he eventually ended up in Whinwell Orphanage and again brought to Canada.
His mother was Elizabeth McPherson Milne born 1905- she was a domestic servant Dubblin Street-Edinburgh
Thank you
Corinne
I would be so appreciative of anything i could find out at all.
