Northumberland / Lawsons of Alnwick
« on: Saturday 31 December 22 00:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am a decendent of William Lawson of Alnwick born 1847 married to Agnes nee Hay. I have tried to search for information on Agnes but have been unsuccessful. I have quite a bit of information on the Lawsons but more is always welcome to fill in the gaps but it is Agnes nee Hay I am finding hard to research. She has parents listed on certificates as John Hay and Elinor nee Fish and has a sister called Eleanor who is 12 years her senior. she has a son John from a previous relationship. Can anyone help. This is driving me insane as I have spent hours looking with no success. Thank you

Hi
I haven’t came across any Gotts or Rodger’s in my research so has to be a different family.Some of my Lawsons ended up in Houghton Le Spring. It’s tough researching as you have to get it right. Good luck and if you do come across any links please feel free to comment and I’ll always reply and help where I can.

Hi
So I have a lot of William Lawsons on my fathers line as it seems to have been a name that was passed down through generations but then William was a very popular name then so may be a different family?
I don’t have a William Lawson marrying a Elizabeth Mooney in my findings so far but that maybe cos I haven’t dug into that line to much. I do have a William Lawson who’s parents we’re Robert Lawson and Elizabeth nee Simm all of Alnwick.
If these are the parents on your William then we are looking at the same family. If it is the same Robert Lawson, he was the older brother to my 2nd great grandfather. If you can let me know if you have Williams parents as Robert and Elizabeth Simm then we can work with this 🙂

Do you know what year this William was born? It has to be a siblings child of my great x 2 grandfather as on my direct line I can’t find any marriage to a Elizabeth nugent. So I think it could be a sibling of my great x 2 grandfather one of his siblings then one of their children. Without knowing the info you have I can’t link the line

Hi Martin
Yes this would be fantastic - thank you. Was the friend a relation to the Lawsons from Alnwick. They were quite a big family.

Thanks for looking. If I can get someone who lived in Shoreditch to visit the parish registers for me then I think that's my only hope as they may hold a baptism fir thomas. I live in the North East so it's impossible for me to have a look locally. Xx
