Yes he is Carole

[Chat-a-lot]

If he married between 1871-1881 there is only one John Alfred Lawson marriage

March qtr 1876 Peterborough 3B 340 to either Caroline Simmons or Jane Smith McFarlane

That was his first marriage Carole he then married Rose Ellen Thorpe in 1883 in Kingston under John Alfred Lawson. Rose (Rosa) died in child birth their daughter was also named Rosa Ellen after her mother.
My grandfather then married a 3rd time to my grandmother Gertrude Alice but somewhere between 1901 and 1910 he changed his name from John  Alfred Lawson to Paul fountain. he did write books and short stories under Paul Fountain.
Just to add to the confusion my great grandparents were William and Elizabeth nee Tarr Lawson  and my great great grandparents were William and Elizabeth nee Jarmain Lawson

Hi,

To answer your question;
Would you be able to tell me where you found the information in 1861 and also 1871 as I can't seem to find it. Is it from the census for those years?


All the Census info I got from Anc.

Hi, There is a William and Elizabeth in my famiky research. Tailors and coming to live in Melton (not born here). Two of their childen were named William and Susan. Susan was my gt. gt grandmother, marrying and raising her children in Melton and is buried here. Her brother William was also a tailor bht I brkeive moved away from the area. Possibly Devon if I have researched the right William.
