Andrew George Davidson was born in Drumrawn, West Longfield West Parish, Barony of West Omagh, County of Tyrone. His father was John Davidson, a Presbyterian Minister, ordained in 1845 and was the incumbent at Drumquin, at least between 1860 and his death on 23 July 1893.
Andrew's mother was Anna Maria, maiden name of Moor. Anna died on 29 March 1891 at Drumquin, a month or two after Andrew died at Mt Egerton. Andrew followed in his father's footsteps and also became a Presbyterian Minister, and completed a B. A.
In 1890, Andrew arrived in the Colony of Victoria and settled at Mildura, Victoria, presumably serving the local Presbyterian work.
It appears that from arrival in the Colony, Andrew was suffering from phthisis, these days known as tuberculosis. Unfortunately, 10 months after arrival, Andrew succumbed on 21 January 1891 in the residence of his friend, Dr Alex Corry, located at Mount Egerton in the Central Highlands ofVictoria. His death was certified by Dr Corry who noted his status as friend.
