Davison v Davidson

Hi all, I'm looking for information regarding family Davison, specifically Robert Davison bc 1804, recorded as 'Davidson' in Ireland Valuation Office House Books between 1838-1840 in the townland of Leiter, Enniskeen (not the present-day townland of the same name to the north west of Bailieborough). He again appears in a 1857 Landed Estates Court Rentals record outlining the lease held in Leiter, which makes specific reference to his emigration some two years prior, which we know to be true. We have his story in Australia but are hoping to find out more about the family in Ireland.

We suspect the family were Presbyterians as we have a marriage certificate for one of Robert's daughters (Catherine to Hugh White 1852) in Ervey Presbyterian Meeting House.

As yet, we have not been able to verify Robert's own family background or siblings other than William (also recorded in Leiter), however we believe he may have met and married his wife (Jane Mahood) in Knockbride, as this was where her wider family originated. We know there were Davidsons in Knockbride and are currently exploring links.

It seems that the name was often spelt with a 'd' (Davidson) and we are checking both versions of the name.

Would love to hear from anyone researching this family name in County Cavan/Meath.

Warm wishes
