George Dawson-- COMPLETE

[Branching out]

Hi Tati
So much information, thank you!
Where to begin in asking further questions, do you have access to 1841 or 1851 to see if you can spot George with his father edward or Mary with her father George?

Branching Out!

I've spent ages trying to find Mary Ann in 1851 and 1841 but I'm getting nowhere ... I hope someone else can see what I can't 

George:

1851
HO107/2140 335 34
Melbourne, Derbyshire
Moira Street - New York
George Dawson, head, 29, Ag lab, b. Melbourne
Dorothy, wife, 24, Glove Stitcher, b. Belper

1841
HO107/191 22 54 8
Melbourne, Derbyshire
Calke Mill House
George Dawson, 20, Male Servant, born in county

in the household of Francis Woodward, Farmer

There doesn't seem to be an Edward Dawson old enough to be George's father living in Melbourne in 1841.

Hi Branching Out,

Is this the family in 1901?

1901
RG13/3205 6 3
Melbourne, Nottinghamshire
Station Road
4 rooms occupied
George Dawson, head, 30, Waggoner on Farm
Rebecca, wife, 22
George Harry, son, 11 mo

All born Derbyshire Melbourne

Marriage George Dawson to possibly Rebecca Barton Dec 1896 Shardlow 7b 923

George's age seems to be 44 in 1911 - 6 children in the household (George, Arthur, Edward, William, Ena, Frank). Searching FreeBMD for Dawson children registered in Shardlow with mother's maiden name Barton, there are 6 more between 1913 and 1925 (Leslie T, Sidney J, Phyllis M, Jim, Jack, Stanley)

 In the 1911 you indicated the children that were listed, what were the ages of these children.

Thanks

Hi Tati

I did not realize that we could search 1911 for free. I will follow up on some of these names.

Hi, really interested to read this information - I appreciate this is an old post but I have just started exploring this branch. Ena was my grandmother on my mother's side - and by the 1930s they were living in Blanch Croft in Melbourne with several relatives living close by on the same street.

Hi, so glad to here from you, Was your grandmothers name Ena and was that short for Edna?
What year was she born? I'll send you a PM with contact info.

Thanks
