Phil McMahon
Honor Code SignatorySigned 4 Jan 2016 | 13,821 contributions | 409 thank-yous | 5,238 connections
Phil was born in 1957 at Bathurst Base Hospital, New South Wales, Australia. He is the son of Charles Hedley McMahon and Nola Amy Sims.
When born my parents were living at 58 Stanley Street, in Bathurst. Father Charlie was employed as a motor mechanic at Macquarie Motors and my mother Nola was employed at Gurdon Motors, where they first met when Charlie was employed there. I was baptized at Randwick Presbyterian Church, where my parents were married in 1956. We moved residence in 1958 to 204 Browning Street, not long before my brother John was born in December of that year. This is where we lived for the majority of my childhood. My early school education was at Bathurst West Primary School. My main sporting interest was swimming, for which I won a number of events in the different strokes of this sport. I was a keen cricket player and spent many hours after school practicing my bowling in our backyard. I also worked after school and on weekends pumping petrol and associated tasks at a family friends service station to save my $2 per week to buy my first decent pushbike.
Phil married Susan Elizabeth Writer 10 Aug 1996 at Machattie Park Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia.

I noticed you added exact dates to James BLACKMAN profile. Are you related? Would you like to be Profile Manager? If so, please ask to be on the Trusted list and I'd be happy to transfer it to you, Amanda Myers
You need to ask to be on the trusted list for the profile of James Blackman (1862-1955) not my profile. Sorry I wasn't clear. If you want any additional profiles that I manage attached to the same family, I'd be happy to transfer them too. But again you need to ask to be on the trusted list for each of them or give me a list of them Thanks Amanda Myers
I appreciate you sending me this record. "According to NSW BDM Daniel was born Daniel Ainsworth, parents Joseph and Martha, on 9 Oct 1936. familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au Daniel Ainsworth 359/1836
However, this is one occasion when NSW BDM have made an error in the name of the Father. They may have taken the record from the baptism record of 1843 when Martha married Joseph Ainsworth.
I can only surmise that the discrepancy happened because the five sons, Robert Davison Jnr, John Davison, George Davison, Daniel Davison, and Jonathan Davison, were not baptised until just before Martha (Blackman) Davison and Joseph Ainsworth were to be married in 1843. And they may have mistakenly been baptised as Ainsworth instead of Davison.
Daniel Davison was Robert Davison Snr 's biological son, born on the 9th October, 1838 at Kelso, via Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia while he and his mother, Martha Blackman were still married.
It was not until 1840 when Robert Davison, who was a carrier (or carter) of goods from Bathurst to Sydney, went missing on a trip to Sydney, when he either drowned crossing one of the rivers, or he could have caught the bubonic plaque which was raging in Sydney at the time. If it was the latter case, he would have been buried in a mass grave without paperwork or death certificate. In either event his body was never recovered. And after a few years, Martha would have been declared a widow, and been able to marry again. Which she did in 1843 to Joseph Ainsworth.
These are my direct descendants. In 1988, when it was the bi-centenary of Australia, and when the Government, as a gift, released for free, genealogical information, I spent absolute hours and months researching the family, visiting relatives in Kelso and Bathurst and the Historical Society there, and confirming information on the different 5 branches of the Davisons. I come through George Davison "branch". Hope this clears everything up for you, and you can be assured that what I say in regard to Daniel's father being Robert Davison is true. Kind Regards, Linda Davison

Thank you so much for responding to our check-in for the Miltary and War Project.
We are sorry to hear that you are not currently active, but we understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to the branches they are currently building. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin the project should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

Please let me know if you are still active. and if so, in which ways you have contributed to the main project or a sub-project within the last month.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.
It looks like Australia Project would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag Australia will help you get updates about activity for that project.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
David ~ Pre-1700 Greeter
Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.

Thank you for being a Wikitreer,
Guy Constantineau - Wikitree leader
