There was a Thomas Davidge who lived in the same area as Julia Davidge during the same time period. The Thomas Davidge line continues in Newfoundland, with his grandson, John Benjamin Davidge and his siblings' children.
Because Thomas came to NL as a 15 year-old stowaway from England,and had a son, Thomas who visited several times with the John Davidge family who settled in Burgeo, NL, we believe these lines connect in England. Since these places could only be accessed by sea, I cannot think of any reason why Thomas's son would have made this difficult journey for any other reason than to visit relatives.
I am one of the many great-great-grandchildren of John Davidge.
I do not know if Julia is related to Thomas, but have forwarded your posting to John's niece who is researching that line. Every clue helps as lack of literacy in those times was a barrier to relatives keeping contact going.
I will also forward it to a genealogist who is trying to connect several Davidge lines in case she has run across any of these names in her research.
If you have any information about Julia's ancestry, I would be very interested. I can be contacted at
