Abraham Dawson

[suemags]

I am looking for information regarding my Great-Great Granddad.  Abraham Dawson was born in Ireland about 1820.  I know he married Jane Hadden in Magheralin. I have two possible years of marriage either 1844 or 1st August 1842 which is as per my Great-Grandad's birth certificate.  I believe Abraham died in Barnhill Poor House, Springburn, Glasgow, 14 August 1869.  No wife is listed but parents are listed as George Dawson and Jane Dawson (maiden name is not clear it looks like Haters).

Could anyone help.

Hi,
   
    Welcome to Rootschat.  Have you looked at the IGI, part of www.familysearch.org
It lists the marriage as 1844 and a parent search lists five children, all born in Scotland between 1858 and 1868.

Regards

There's also a submitted record for Abraham Dawson in IGI with a birth date as 29 July 1821 Magheralin, Co. Down, son of George and Jane but you'd need to verify these details. Another record has an Abraham Dawson christened 1824, son of Abraham and Anne. Several other Abraham Dawsons also listed so perhaps it's a common Christian name for Dawson family.
