WOW thanks for that.

That's 12 children so far for these parents. They were busy! I found another son Joseph living with his uncle Joseph Dawson in 1881 census.

Thanks Pauline,

This looks right.

The 1881 census details for Joseph Dawson senior and Junior have them living at 6 Union Place Gateshead.

Are you able to check for me and see if Joseph senior was still there then please. He was a horse dealer and he would be aged approx 60 in 1891 born in Lumley.

I know Joseph junior was married by then.

Wow, they had that street monopolised didn't they!

That's interesting, the adoption. In the 1881 census there was no sign of a wife either, I'm guessing he either never married or she passed away.

I don't know how adoption worked those days. I wonder if Alfred Rough was possibly a child or grandchild of a sister or niece. Now that is a mystery that has me curious!

Thank you for all your help.

It'll keep me busy for a while!
