Title: Dawe family Tavistock
Post by: amackean on Monday 13 January 20 00:34 GMT (UK)
Morning from Australia

I have hit a brick wall re my Dawe family and would appreciate any help a fresh set of eyes could give.

I have a Richard and Mary Dawe born Tavistock? 1796 1800  respectively . I think I have them in the 1841 census living in Tavistock. Richard dies in 1848 Elbow lane Tavistock  informant Fanny Cocks who I think may be his sister ( found Francis Dawe marries Richard Cocks 1818) .

I next find Mary Dawe pauper in Elbow Lane Tavistock in the 1851 census. I cant find her in the 1861 or 1871 census. Mary dies 1878 informant daughter Eliza Jago living Fitzford Cottages Tavistock. I have searched the 1861 1871 census in Elbow Lane and altho William and Eliza Jago are there, there is no sign of Mary.

I would love to find Richard parents and know for certain his wifes surname . I hesitantly have it as Watkins. Would also like to know any siblings .

Regards
Anne

Youngest son Richard's birth reg'd Sept.1839 Tavistock - per the GRO's own index his mothers maiden name is Watkins which would confirm parents as the Richard Dawe and Mary Anne Watkins married 23/4/1816 Lamerton, Devon.

Hi Annette

Thanks so much for your help . Much appreciated

Funny you should mention Richard - I have just ordered his birth certificate to see if the address on the cert match the 1841 census.  The trouble is I cant find Richard b 1839 in any census and I see there is a death for a Richard Dawe in Tavistock around the same time. May I ask where you got the mothers surname info from? as I got this info from free bmd which doesnt list mothers surnames I think till after 1911?

regards
Anne

Thankyou Jamjar

I didn't know that existed .  How many times have I bought a certificate to find mothers surname!

I have ordered the first one so mothers surname is Watkins. I like to have the cert anyway.

Yes, it’s a handy site.

If mother not married at time of birth a maiden names is absent. This is useful as some folk marry those of the same surname.
