Thomas Dawson (Bombardier in the Royal Artillery) (later Clerk and Storekeeper) had a daughter - Mary Catherine Dawson b9/1809 Trincomalee d 19/8/1850 Colombo - Ceylon.  Her mother is noted  name unknown and a local lady (Singhalese).  He later married Margaret Flood in 1814.

Can anyone shed some light on Thomas's military records or place of birth... or any records of my unknown Singhalese great great grandmother?

Thanks so much
