Hello, I need your help please. I am trying to confirm parentage for George Dawson (b. 1774, d. May 2 1838, Liverpool, England). He didn't marry as far as I can tell. He had a brother Robert Dawson (b. 1778-1836), who married Mary Barwise.
George was a sugar merchant in Whitehaven in the 1830s and owned warehouses in Antigua and lived there "for many years".
I want to find out whether he was born in the UK, and whether he was just a sugar merchant or also a plantation owner. It would help if I knew when and where he was born though! Many thanks.
(I've posted previously about his nephew John Dawson, who inherited his uncle's sugar business. That thread is
