Oh, I'd forgotten about this one who is the person I was supposed to be looking for!
John (Dawson) was baptised in Fewston Yorkshire on 24/1/1819 No, I've not found him yet. He might have said he was born in Otley rather than Fewston I suppose.

Hello yes, I meant John. You are right, he may have changed where he lived, he may also have said his father was James.
Elizabeth, thanks for the information. Could you have a look for a death for a John Dawson please. I know what happened to Jonathan in the long term. I'm unsure about the 1841 census but given I know what area Rachel went to I'll have another look. Why do I have busy periods when I want to sit on ancestry and FMP? lol

John Dawson
This John Dawson is not mine. John was single, a sawyer and had a brother Robert. A sad story, he tried to help his brother who was being attacked by a group a drunk men but they ended up killing him instead.

They have spent the last 20 odd years creating family trees out of the parish registers for the area they are interested in. They do not come down closer than Stephen Dawson, John and Jonathan's father but they do go backwards and have confirmed a few things I've thought but didn't yet have enough evidence for. Sadly FMP and Ancestry do not seem to have the registers online to have the visual proof but it is very good to see what they have.

I live in the next town to Otley and often visit Toni, so if there is anything I can do to help, just shout. There is a very old graveyard but I think a lot of the graves are quite illegible now. There is a really nice reservoir at Fewston which I have walked around many times!
