South Africa / Re: COMPLETED General Sir John George Dartnell?
« on: Tuesday 26 January 21 11:29 GMT (UK)  »
Greetings. You may already know this by now. The others in the photograph, by extrapolation from my family details, with the exception of the gentleman at the Right are:
His wife, Clara Alicia Steer (1843-1931) and their children
Alice Gertrude (1867-1928)
Georgina Jane (1870-1940)
Isabel Mary (1872-1957)
George Bruce (1876-1946)
Sir John is my first cousin three times removed.
Regards,
Keith Dawson

Greetings. I thought you might be interested in a print I have, dated April 1850, which has the Rock works At Hastings in the foreground. I have it because of my connection with Hastings, rather than Coachbuilding. However, coincidentally my great grandfather and his father and brothers were coach builders in Aberdeen and London, under the names of Burlington Carriage co. and Victoria Carriage Works. I find the file size is too big, so I don’t know whether you’ll get it.

Somewhere I have a transcript of Elizabeth Dawson's will (and I think her husband's) and can look it out if you think it will throw added light on the matter.

Hello.

I don't know whether you are still interested, but I have information on the family of Eliza Goodwin, who married Dennis Sheahan.

Interesting. Anna was born in Dungannon and would probably lived with her mother there until she married, which would have meant she well may have met William in Dungannon. Her father, a doctor, died in 1847. She was 32 when she got married, which was rather late in life those days. Her mother, Elizabeth Dawson, mentions her by name in her will (dated 1864), which may be found at the PRONI will calendar website.

I believe that William Hewetson Mathew married my great-great-aunt, Anna Sophia Dawson (born 1828) in 1860 at Knocknamuckley Church, Co Armagh, which was the incumbency of her brother Rev Abraham Dawson.

I had heard that he was in the constabulary, but it was only a rumour. As far as I know they had no children and I cannot find any records of their deaths. There is a possible sighting of her in the 1901 census as a widow visiting the Roe family

Regards,

Keith Dawson
