World War One / Re: Ben(n) Dawson and Harry Dawson - RAMC - Info required please if possible

Hi Erica, Thank you so much for your info, you have filled a few gaps for me. It gets very confusing when the family christian names are continued by the brothers family line,  I've only started plotting it all out I should have done it years ago! I will talk to Jean again soon she said she met Ben when he came to Whitehaven now I don't know which Ben she knew. Hope you manage to get to Langdale and Elterwater the miners cottages where they grew up are still there. I'm sure Elizabeth is buried at Appleby I will check it out with Jean. Granda Harry used to stay with her when he came for holidays. He is buried in Whitehaven Cemetary. Aunt Les and Mam fell out with him over Grandmas money she was the moneymaker and owned a lot of property in Whitehaven and a mansion at Summergrove when she took ill she sold the mansion and moved back to town, she left the property to Aunt Les and Mam, he got plenty of money and went back to live with Maggie for a while, then to Ambleside. Lived the life of riley!!! I can still hear my Mam being given the news he had died "dig a hole n bury him behind a dyke" Needless to say Aunt Les and Mam paid for him to come through 2 counties [was still Westmorland and Cumberland then] Thanks again for your help. Judith
