A ships' chandler, he married first Mary RUTH Gill, daughter of Robert Gill, and Eleanor Gill (born Thompson), in the 1st quarter of 1873 in Newport, Monmouthshire. Children include Eleanor Jane, Gwendoline Maud, Olive Ruth, Charles Ernest and Thomas Birbeck. |

Only someone related would be likely to have any certs............use search trees to find whether anyone else is researching these people |

have you looked for Thomas in censuses, to try to get a time-scale for his death? |

So you know that you need to start from 1911 to look for Thomas's death |

Thomas & family, according to Census records, were living at 165 Commercial Road, Newport in the 1870s. Then32 Watch House Parade. Then Stow Park Circus St Woolos. I don't know Newport at all but I think he must have improved his lot over the years? |

Based on the Newport of today....he certainly did move up in the world! |

Not exactly the direction I was hoping to go in but I have found Thomas Dawson's parents. In 1851 he and they were living in Tynemouth. His father was one Errington Dawson (1817-1873), a butcher, and his mother was Jane formerly Birbeck. |

I still can't find death dates, or even years for Mary Ruth Dawson, or husband Thomas Dawson! I have searched all my usual avenues, GR, Find my Past, Ancestry, Free BMDs, Family Search, Curious Fox. I have scoured the search facilities and also investigated the trees of others with similar interest.I've looked at old newspapers. Nothing!! I just don't know where else to look? |

As far as Mary Ruth is concerned I think I am going to have to try Birmingham: bite the bullet and buy the certificate. But what she would have been doing there goodness knows? |
