The ongoing saga of OH's Dawsons from Lincolnshire.
William Dawson and Letticia Morris married on
19th March 1728 at Bloxholm, Lincolnshire.
He was from Walcott and she was from Hanworth.
They lived at Billinghay for nearly 10 years.
Chlidren found:
Edward baptised 12 Mar 1728 Billinghay
Edward the Son of Willm and Letitia Dawson March 12th
William baptised 9 Mar 1729 Billinghay
William the Son of William and Letitia Dawson March 9th
buried 22 Jun 1730 Billinghay
Laetitia baptised 17 Jun 1732 Billinghay
Leatitia ye Daur of William and Laetitia Dawson Jun 17th
Mary baptised 27 Dec 1733 Billinghay
Mary ye Dr of William and Laetitia Dawson Decr ye 27
Then I found:
Elizabeth baptised 8 Feb 1734 Billingay
Dr William and Elizabeth Dawson
Elinor baptised 28 Mar 1735 Billinghay
Elinor Dr of William and Elinor Dawson Mar 28th
I always knew they lived in Threckingham, I didn't know where they lived before until yesterday.
Here are the children I had baptisms etc. for at Threckingham:
Elizabeth baptised 1 Dec 1737 Threekingham
Ann baptised 28 Apr 1739 Threekingham
John baptised 15 Mar 1741/42 Threekingham
buried 7 Jun 1741 Threekingham
Richard baptised 23 Jun 1742 Threekingham
buried 1 Aug 1742 Threekingham
William Dawson died in 1752. I have his will and here is a link:
http://www.willtranscriptions.co.uk/surnames/d-e-f/dawson_william_d81.htm
In his will he mentions :
his wife
his brother in law (Morris)
his children: Edward, Elinor, Elizabeth and Ann
There is no baptism for Elinor in Threckingham.
Could Elinor, daughter of William and Elinor baptised in 1735 at Billinghay be William and Letitia's daughter? In other words, did the vicar make a mistake with the mother's name.
Similarly, is the earlier Elizabeth also their daughter? (I'd have to find a burial, as the second Elizabeth is born in 1737.)
I do have some extra information which helps:
