The Lawson family you mention are the right ones.
I would be most grateful for a copy of any photos that you can send me.

Don't suppose you would be interested in selling the Book? as I have been trying to buy one for ages & been told it's now out of print.

Please let me know as I can make a very good offer.

Many thanks for your imput.
I have had a look at the site mentioned & can only find a copy available at the University of Sheffield.
I think that you may have to hold a University Library card to borrow from there.

Hi Carole,
               I bought the certificate in Feb of this year.  It is not a very good print. I thought that the name of the mother was Eliza Hennyman but it could be Honeyman or even Hengman. I cannot look up the marriage because I don't think they married, I have looked on BMD for every Richard Best & cannot find a match.
Thats a good idea to e-mail the Gen.Reg Office.
Many thanks for your help

I am researching my cousins Family & have found that they originated in Idle Yorkshire that is near Bradford. The earliest I have got back to was a John Dawson born about 1805 in Idle. My Cousin is related to one of his sons, William Dawson,  who was stated as being a "Stonequarrier" on his Sons Marriage Certificate. On Google Map for Idle there is a very large wood named "Dawsons Wood" which has an old Quarry nearby.
Can anyone help me to find the reason why this wood was named "Dawsons Wood" & if my cousins family are in any way connected to it?

Thankyou for your time & trouble. I was hoping that she didn't die in the Workhouse.From the photograph it looked such a dark & depressing place.
