Death of William Davison, Oct/Nov?dec 1903, age 76 Aukland Durham. 10a, 172

We are related Wiliam Parkin Davison (who was baptised at St Helen Auckland in 1827 as William Davison Parkin) who married Margaret Goundry born 1832 are my 3 x great grand parents. I am descended from their eldest son William Parkin Davison baptised St Helen Auckland in 1855 and Mary Hannah Grieves.

Couple of things here the illigitimate birth of William Davison Parkin, mother recorded on the St Helen baptism register was Ann Parkin born 1808. In subsequent census returns and on the marriage of his children William gave his name as Davison. His death certificate also records him as Davison. The only exception is on his marriage certificate he is recorded by his baptism name. The reason for this is possibly that the minister at his birth and marriage was the same Matthew Chester, incumbent at St Helen's for nearly 50 years.

Secondly the birth of Mary Hannah Grieves can be a bit tricky, because she gave her age at the time of her marriage at the Bishop Auckland register office to the younger WPD in 1875 as 17. However I have obtained proof that Mary Hannah was born in 1860 at High Moorsley, making her 15 when she got marriage. The reason for the deception became clear a few months later with the birth of a daughter Isabel, who sadly didn't survive to adulthood.

I have various certificates that I can send if you are interested.
