 Topic: Girvan tall case clock

Hi
There were a lot of Davidsons in Ayrshire as they are an old local family but James will be easy to find in local records because Girvan was and is not a big place. He probably had a shop.
 
You can find such things often with a google search.

Seeking information on a tall case, grandfather clock believed to have
been made in Girvan
by James Davidson circa 1820 - 1837. The tall wood case is of plain
design and the face of the
clock is of brass which was originally thought to be silvered.
This clock has descended in my family here in the US from the Davidson
side of the family
who lived in the Boston area - known to live in Roxbury in about 1900.
Would welcome any information on this clock or family history from the
Girvan area.

Google elicits the following free book : http://www.archive.org/stream/oldscottishclock00smitrich/oldscottishclock00smitrich_djvu.txt
 
Which has your man in it.

Thank you for the information. My Kirkpatrick & McGregor families had left
by 1800.
