Durham / Re: LAWSON in Durham

Hi Barry,
Hope you are well, it would appear that individually, neither of us has much information, but if we collect it all together we might get somewhere. My friend is very interested in the First World War and if the photo you have of Joseph Stuart is clear and quite close-up he can identify the shoulder/ lapel badges, so it might be possible to at least discover where his regiment saw action and even where Joseph was wounded, if he was in fact wounded in action.
I remember my parents talking about the whole Stuart Lawson tradition for naming the first born son, I got the feeling that there is a whole dynasty, landed gentry etc. apparently the Stuart Lawsons have their own burial ground in Perthshire (?) possibly.
Now that we have messaged each other three times, you can privately send me your email address, it's the living Stuart Lawsons that we need to find.
Take care, and best wishes.
Say hello to my uncle.
Bar.

Hi Barry,
Thank you for your message, unfortunately some of it was erased by the web site monitor, I need to post a third message before I am entitled to use the Personal Messaging service, or I could give you my email address, if that's allowed......would certainly be easier for us, especially since we will be exchanging photographs.
I had no idea that our grand father was even called Joseph, my parents called him Gerry, they didn't really talk about him much and had I no idea that he was a soldier in the Great War, I knew that they met at St. Thomas hospital, did he fall in love with his nurse?
Was he wounded in action?
Was he an officer?,  if he was then I'm told they are easier to trace in terms of what, where and when.
Are there any photographs of him.?
So many questions, and I knew nothing about our grandma's past. She was a sweetie, gently spoken and fun.
Best wishes, Bar

Hi Barry Lawson, my grandfather, Joseph Stuart Lawson married my grandmother Kate Elizabeth Knight, they lived in Croydon, they were my fathers parents, they had three sons, my dad was the second. Grand dad died before I was born, Grandma Kate died in her 70's, she was lovely. Where/how do you come into our lives?
