Bedfordshire / Re: The mysterious William Walker/Dawson
« on: Wednesday 12 March 25 17:22 GMT (UK) »
Thanks Pinetree - Sarah Ann Sharpe looks a likely bet.
The post I deleted above was a newspaper cutting re Mary Clark and William Dawson's eventual marriage in 1900 (I decided I probably shouldn't post it due to copyright etc) - it basically said that Ampthill union was going to stop outdoor relief for Mary unless they married. The baptist minister who married them did so without charging a fee.

When was this will? it may be possible to check a list of Notaries for the time/ find on census
9 June 1741 (2nd line).
A little early for a census me thinks
Not sure how I missed that date!
As you say a little early for a census. However, there are plenty of Cuckows in Kent including, most notably, Daniel Cuckow N P in a 1739 document on the Kent, Tyler Index to Wills

Compare the spacing of the Do in Doctor with that of the Du in the purported Duckow and consider that he would have written the C first then the D, but spaced it before the C. Sorry, not on.
I'll stick with D Cuckow!
Yes I see what you mean - there is a gap between D and uckow and the letter mixed up with the D could be a C. So D Cuckow is very feasible.

I would also say the surname is Duckow - compare the D with that in Doctor - and that there is an initial mixed up with the D but not sure if it is a P as not the same as that in Paul.

Yes I'd agree with Maudlin.
They certainly moved around albeit in a relatively small area - living in tents and caravans explains it, hadn't noticed that.
