Marriage look up in Gressenhall/ Norwich

[Princess Poppy]

Don't know if this query is still ongoing but I found Charles Dawson (son of Kezia and Charles Dawson) born 1849 at East Dereham in a Boys Home in Norwich on the 1861 Census.

Thanks PP Yes I did find this and in fact have visited the workhouse recently but the records dont exist from that time apparently.He had a sister too. Charles later turns up married about 1881 I think although without looking at the records I have- I can't remember where. But lets hope there was a happy ending. Sue

Yes, there was a sister Frances Dawson wasn't there?  What happened to her?

I found Charles Dawson Junior living with his wife in Essex in 1871 and then the couple were in Yorkshire in 1881 I think, having had a few children born in Lancashire.

I lost Francis around 1891 she was single then and lived in Norwich St Peter. However you have rekindled my interest so I will have a look at the 1901.
The father Charles was in the Gressenhall workhouse. I hadn't reralised Charles jnr  and Ann moved to Lancashire. That is where Keziah ended up( in Bacup )I will have a look later if I get chance. As usual this branch of my family has been neglected for a while, although I spent some time in Norwich last year looking for the Gee side of the family.
