1841/51 Census Look-up Alva Stirlingshire"DAWSON"
« on: Saturday 02 June 07 07:59 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

I am trying to find Alexander Dawson and his family.

He married Helen Bell 07 December 1829 in Leslie Fife.

Their children that I know of were:

Robert born Leslie Fife 17 July 1830
Alexander born Leslie Fife 13 September 1832
Grizel (Grace) born Alva 23 October 1834
Margaret born Alva 01 May 1837
Isabella born Alva 03 September 1839
Andrew born ?? ?? ??

In 1857 Alexander, his wife Helen and their children Alexander, Isabella and Andrew all came out to Tasmania on the ship the "Broomielaw'.

If anyone could help locate this Dawson, on the 1841 and the 1851 census it would be wonderful.

Kind regards
Wendy

I have the 1851 Alva census index
Alexander Dawson 42 b.Alva
Helen Dawson 45 b.Alva
Alexander Dawson 18 b.Leslie
Grace Dawson 16 b.Alva
Isabella Dawson 11 b.Alva
Andrew Dawson 8 b.Alva

No trace of Robert or Margaret Dawson

Ancestry.co.uk have the family under "Dunson" for 1841 in Alva
Alexander b.1811
Alexander b.1836
Helen b.1811
Grace b.1836
Isabella b.1830

Hopefully someone else will be able to give you more information regarding their exact addresses and occupations
Best Wishes
Elisabeth

hi,

In the 1851  both Alexanders were Woolen Hand loom weavers. Grace was a wool winder and Isabella and Andrew were scholars. They were living at Mid Row, Alva.

Hope this helps
