Title: Ellen Dawson and Mother Mary[Martin] Dawson
Post by: seasider on Tuesday 31 December 24 16:32 GMT (UK)
Sorry if you have seen this one before but it's some time ago and I hope there might be some fresh eyes.
I'm looking for Ellen Dawson born abt.1863 Farnworth Bolton. The last information I have was that Ellen and her Mother was discharged from Bolton Workhouse 8th Dec.1871. After that I have no sightings. Her Mother was Mary Martin born Prescot abt.1836. I have the information abt. her husband James Dawson who abandoned her and left for the USA. The mystery is, what happend and where did Mary and Ellen go when leaving the workhouse. Mary's Father was Irish so I'm wondering if they left to stay with relatives in Ireland. There was another daughter previously named Ellen who died in 1861, so as not to confuse.
Many Thanks, Happy New Year.

Thank you. I know on previous posts I've entered Ellen as Emma but now I've clarified it as Ellen.
