Find Ancestors

Yes, I did find Susannah in 1861, she was working as a servant so didn't help me.

Did you find Susanna in 1861?

jax, yes you did say the age looked more like 45. I hadn't spotted that one!! The tree on Ancestry may not mention a daughter Sarah but there was one, Sarah 2nd daughter bapt 1824 East Torrington, she is the one I believe was Susannahs mother. she was in service in 1841. Thanks again...

yes you did, well spotted cos I missed it!

I did mention that the age looked more like 45

Thanks guys what a lot of information, Edgar Dawson was my grandfather and yes he left a bunch of children and a wife when he died. The two youngest, twins were sent to Barnardos and didn't return home until they were 14. I think it possible that the birth in 1847 illegible could be Susan/Susannah as she was not born in 1826 as the census indicates. Still comes back to a probable illegimate birth and her Grandfather and grandmother brought her up.

Wonder if this is her ? ( name illegible so not recorded )

Do you have the marriage cert for 1870 ?

Was it definitely her that married Robert Etches?.
Could it have been her mother also called Susannah ? ( which would make the father's name correct)



Found this and it's too old for the granddaughter

ETCHES Susanna - 49 - Stow on W. 6a 275

It would appear that as she was brought up by her grandparents, it's her grandfather's name she has put forward in place of a father.

So the 1841 census i posted is another Richard & not your family will leave it there just so other helpers wont post the same one

Tree on ancestry does not mention a daughter called Sarah although there was one called Susan born 1821

It also says Richard dies in 1855??

Is Dawson the Grandparents surname too ?
