I'm still helping my friend with his Dawson tree and wonder if any member can help me over a stumbling block. I am looking for the parents of Isaac Dawson born 1811 Goldington Bedford. Isaac married an Elizabeth and went on to have 6 children, William, Charles, Phillip, Sarah, James and Sampson. I have them on census records but can't get back any further. Regards Maureen.

Does 'still trying' mean that there was a previous thread?
Have you checked the IGI?
When was the marriage?
|
Yes there was a previous thread and a lot of help. I don't know marriage date only know first child I can find was born 1845. This seems a bit late in life for Isaac to start having children as he would have been about 34 by then.

The family in 1851 showing 3 older children

Same family in 1841....eldest son Thomas born 1832-3, so Isaac would have been around 21 when he was born.

1861 shows him living in St Cuthbert's with said children.
So this is a possibilty.
