Hi Abygail,
Welcome to RootsChat 
Do you know who Janet/Jeanette's siblings were, perhaps someone may pick up the names or other siblings.
Do you have any addresses for Jeanette and William Lawson ?

All I have is that a daughter Janet Lawson arrived in Australia c1854, and was supposed to be from Fifeshire, her dob allegedly was 29/06/1832, not mush to work from sorry.

23/04/2005. I have some 'new' information to update with, on the 7 May 1852 at the age of 21, Janet Lawson sailed from Liverpool on board the "Australia" for Port Phillip, Victoria Australia arrived in August 1852. In 1855 there was another Lawson family that sailed on board the Althetae with a 1 year old called Janet Lawson. I don't know if these were related to 'my' Janet Lawson. She came as an unassisted migrant, and was working
for a Walter Schofield at Mt Burr, west of Mt Gambier South Australia when she married John Webb on 1857. When she married her age was given as 24.9 y. (with this I calculate 1832 as her year of birth, on the ship she may have been born in 1830/31
Fairly close.)

Wow!!! I'm impressed, you may have the right lady for me, Looks like I have more work to do. Funny really, when I visited her grave on April 17th I asked her to give me a small helping hand and it looks like she has. My oldest son shares her birthday as well, with his grandfather too. I thank you most humbly.
