Kikifrog Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hello folks, I'm trying to make contact with anyone descended from or who knows anything about the Dawson family of Hartley Brook, Ecclesfield - my late mum's ancestors. My great-grandparents were Elizabeth Carr (b. 1851, Rawmarsh) and John Dawson (b. 1845, Ecclesfield, d. 1910). Elizabeth and John were married at Mount Pleasant Methodist Chapel, Ecclesfield, in 1872. Their children were Mary (b. 1873), Annie (b. 1876), Emma (b. 1878, married Thomas Morris, 1916), Agnes (b. 1880, married Benjamin Brooks 1909, d. 1953in London), John (b. 1883, married Lilly Tingle), Joseph (b. 1886, married Ethel), Thomas (b. 1888), and Kenneth (b. 1892). All were born in Ecclesfield. The family mostly worked as file cutters. I would love to hear from anyone connected with this family to compare notes. Thanks!

Kikifrog Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 I should have added that John and Lily's children were (I think, but I'm just relying on memories of what my mum told me) Annie (known as Nance), Elizabeth (known as Betty), Evelyn and William (Billy) Dawson. I think Billy possibly had children called Paul and Anne. Thanks for taking the trouble to read this - I hope someone can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 There is a bloke called Dave in Wombwell who I believe is a relative. I have now lost contact with him so I can't be more helpful than that. Telephone directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikifrog Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks, upinwath, that's interesting. I can see I could make a total prat of myself here, but it won't be for the first time, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
