Christopher, Mary Davidson was born in 1791 in Scotland, baptised St. Cuthberts Edinburgh. Her parents, Robert and Jean, moved to Newry circa 1800. Robert was employed in the flax growingand gardening tradenear Edinburgh and most likely continued in that line of work. William's sons were all involved in the blacksmith, whitesmith trades. I know little about William Lutton but Mary's death certificate says she was married in Scotland but I have been unable to find any record of this. Mary died in Sydney Australia. William died around 1845, presumably in Newry. This has been deduced from shipping records relating to their sons' emigrations to Australia. Mary went to Australia with her youngest son anddaughter after William's death. William was probably born in Newry circa 1790 and was about 55 when he died circa 1845.
