It's very unlikely family will read your enquiry
The way to see if anyone has them in their tree is to use the search heading above the boards and look in members trees

You can then try to make contact by clicking on the find out more box

Roy W Dawson probably married Gwendoline H in 1953 in Norfolk, but I don't see any births of children.

He is on the ER until 2015 at least.
I don't have credits for 192.com to be able to see the address.

Gwendoline is only listed with him until 2002.

This will be her death:

Gwendoline Hagar Dawson

Date of Registration: May 2002
Age at Death: 69
Registration district: Norwich

Denis (one R) R Dawson was born Dec qr 1932 in Henstead. Mother's ms Nichols (one L).

He may have married Brenda in Depwade reg district in 1962 (spelled Dennis this time).

Again, I don't see the births of any children.

If that's the right marriage, Dennis is on the ER until 2011 at least, at a Norfolk address.

This might be his death:

Mr Dennis Dawson

I'm going to join fmp to see 39 register. Wouldn't have rejoined this one if I'd realised that first feel like I've wasted money now
