Find Ancestors

I am researching my family history and have hit a bit of a brick wall.
I would be most grateful if anyone could offer some help or advice in tracing
the father and if possible the mother of my 3 x great grandfather Francis Davison.

I would like to purchase certificates, birth marriage etc. if they exist and are available.

The Information I have is,

Francis Davison born 1770.
Possibly in Bywell Saint Peter Northumberland.

Francis married Ann Lowery on 19 July 1794 in Bywell Saint Peter Northumberland
They had 8 children
Robert, Dorothy, John, Ann, Francis, William, Aaron, Hannah

Francis died July 1839 and buried in St. Ann's Newcastle upon Tyne

Any information, help or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Civil Registraton (and the issue of certificates) came into force on 1st July 1837

Before that, only Parish registers existed. They are held at the County Records Office

Are you 100% certain about the death?

This is the only one for the name and year on the GRO site

Name: Aaron Davidson
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 7 Jun 1809
Baptism Date: 8 Dec 1811
Baptism Place: Shotley,Northumberland,England
Father: Francis Davidson
Mother: Ann Lowery

Aaron married in 1840 - the cert should say whether or not his father was alive

Several trees on Ancestry have his passing in July 1839

Ancestry trees are notoriously unreliable

One of them has Ann dying in 1795 - before her children were born

The DEATH in 1839 was of a 2 year old - as shown above

Many thanks to you all for the very swift replies and the info. Northumberland records office opens at 1000 hours so at 1001 I shall be on the phone. I am now about to to start looking at Aaron and extracting what info I can.
Once again many thanks to you all. :-)

Wasn't doubting the age of the one who died in 1839

Was just posting that trees thought that was him

Obviously not bought the cert and maybe copied each other's info .

All the more reason to buy certs to verify
