I had a look through the index for the Poor Records.  Selected a few (the only Joseph around that date and Margaret x 3) but had no luck. I'll be back up next week and have a look at the other ones too.
Sorry!

Kris   You are a Star  .
   

 1911  - Did you locate this info from the Ellis Island records? I had a look there but didn't find this gem.

The names and dates work in.   I have been doing some digging from here and find that part of the parternal family went out to Philadelphia to live, so although he gave a maternal uncle's name on ships records, he may have gone to a Aunt in Philadelphia....

Many thanks for all the input, I have been very fortunate in finding you all.

Kris,

Thank you for puting time and effort in to this.

They had no children, so no family names passed on......  

Just located a Ada Emily Dawson born in Birmingham in 1884!  Dates work in.   

But why Swindon?

I'm heading to States soon, so maybe I'll knock on some doors and go in search of certificates.....

thanks anyway

Sorry Toby  I don't have any idea of her surname.
