Lincolnshire / Re: Dawson
« on: Monday 13 November 17 15:19 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
New to this forum, came across it completely by chance yesterday whilst looking for information on my family. Quite excited by this thread; long story short but I recently moved to the US from UK and my mum happened to mention in passing that we have family here and she believed them to be in Michigan... I am a direct descendant of William Thompson Dawson from Lincolnshire, he was my Great, Great Grandfather (I think). My understanding is that he was my Great Grandmother's (Elizabeth) father and she had William (Bill) who was of course my grandad. Roy is my father and grew up in Leverton, Lincs before the family moved to Wigan, Lancashire when he was about 13 and that's where we've been ever since. Obviously there are more branches than this (I know Elizabeth had siblings, as did grandad and my father) but without going into more detail that is where my tie to William Thompson Dawson come in.
I know this is an old thread but if anyone is still on here and has made any progress or would like to get in touch with me I'd love to get involved and see where we're up to. Of course I'd also like to connect with family as there are only a handful of us Wigan Dawsons left now!
