Not only is it Scottish, but it's also Smith! lol
I am trying to establish if this man's mother was called Jane Douglas.
In the Scots 1891 census there is David Beatson Smith aged 28 with his wife and child.
David is said to have been born in Pittenweem, Fifeshire in 1863.
In the Scots 1881 census David is said to have been born in 1863 in Pittenween, Fifeshire and the census record shows him to be the son of the head, Thomas Smith. No mother.
I have no idea if the middle name really is Beatson, or some other spelling.
On my CD version of the 1881 Scottish census Thomas Smith is recorded as unmarried, but I'm hoping he was a widower, as David was listed as his son!
I can't find them in 1871 in Scotland or in England.
If his mother isn't Jane Douglas, then I want nothing more to do with him!! lol This is part of an elimination process
