Aubone Surlees (Surtees) LAWSON - 1850.

[Millmoor]

I do find it fascinating, Bitzar, when a thread develops in a way that could not have been predicted at the outset.

Just for information if you access the National Records of Scotland site and its catalogue there are three hits if you search for Annie. The first is as Ann Surtees and is regarding the case versus Mr Dewar. As Annie Surtees there is the Court of Session Wotherspoon case and the conclusion of the sequestration case dated 1875.(Catalogue simply shows they hold these records).

I cannot see any reference to her after this. She may, of course, have changed her name but I wonder if she might have made it to Australia.

I also wonder why Walter's birth was registered as Surtees and Aubone's as Lawson. (Walter incidentally is in Glasgow in the 1871 census. An Ancy. tree has him marrying in London -  not sure if it is him or not as he is not in the family home shown in the 1881 census but you might find it worth a look).

Found it a really interesting search.

Hi bitzar

Here is a link you may find interesting. Doing a search on 'Surtees' on this site came up with this

http://www.uh.edu/waalt/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=Surtees&go=Go

or this may take you directly to the document

It mentions Auborn Alfred Surtees - lots of Surtees in fact, not too sure what it is

Like Millmoor says - a very interesting thread

William... I'm actually assisting a friend with her family, which are the SURTEES family.  She started off last year and it's just of those families with masses of info, when you can sort it all out because all the children, parents, cousins have the same names, generation after generation!  Luckily this branch had Aubone, something a little different.  Although Aubone was passed down for many generations too.  We have been working from the top of the tree down but when we found an Aubone SURTEES in Australia we worked up, with difficulty, ie - wrong names on marriage cert's and of course death certs.  One name that was always correct an on certs was Annie LAWSON...  I wish I could of known her!

Marvellous Claire, thanks again.  A good read.  You're the one who started us of on this journey last year.

Rgds, Bitzar.
