Elizabeth Dawson Lisburn
« on: Monday 28 February 22 18:59 GMT (UK) »
Hello I am looking for some help if possible, my great grandmother Elizabeth Dawson was born 1866 (or very near to).
A family member once said she was born in Co. Antrim, while researching I find her in the census in Liverpool, birthplace Ireland, I have also found 2 of her siblings born in Lisburn.

Their parents are John Dawson b abt 1846 and Eliza Wood b abt 1846 both also born in Ireland.

John Dawson was a tailor and the son of William Dawson also a tailor.
Eliza Wood daughter of Robert Wood a saddler.
This information I found in a marriage record Dec 11th 1871.

Sorry for the waffle, in a nutshell I can't find any more records to discover more information with regards to William Dawson and Robert Wood.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

Did Elizabeth marry in England or Ireland & is she on the 1911 census?  It should show her actual birthplace in Ireland. 

Looking at the 1881 entry the family seem to slip backwards & forwards to Ireland.  Quite a gap in ages between Eliza/Elizabeth & Martha. 

Was the 1871 marriage cert you mention that of John Dawson & Eliza Wood?  If John was a bachelor - then Elizabeth was born before the marriage so was she registered as Woods?

Eliza 15 b Ireland
Martha E 8 b Liverpool
Mary A 7 b Ireland
John 3 b Ireland
William G  1 b Liverpool

She married Joseph Thomas Woodward in Liverpool in 1884. On the 1911 census and 1901 census it says b Liverpool (well not so much says as implies with the use of " under her husbands place of birth)
In the 1891 and 1881 it says Ireland. I have nothing concrete to say it was Lisburn other than what has been passed down to a family member and the fact some of her siblings were.
I did notice some of the gaps and wondered if maybe there were children who hadn't survived.
Thank you for replying by the way

So - John Dawson & Eliza Woods married 1871 in Liverpool.  Bachelor & Spinster which means that as Elizabeth was born 1865/66 she was illegitimate & probably born as Woods - not Dawson

Civil registration of births in Ireland started 1864 so perhaps she was born just before that. I checked under Dawson and Wood(s) but nothing showed up. Have you searched for English birth?
