Hi there 
I also thought that birth for Richard Dawson 35545 might be the one, they used Richard instead of Paul Richard, not sure.
Carlin is a male so Caroline wouldn't be an option I wouldn't think.
Yes that looks light to be the family in NSW. The names are certainly right.
I didn't know about Mary dying in infancy so this certainly helps. Thank you.
No Samuel the father apparently died in Sydney NSW 1924. So they traveled a fair bit by the looks of things. Must of had money.
I know Paul Richard died in NSW.

Hi
Can someone please tell me how I go about ordering a USA birth certificate please and how much are they? Thanks.
Or does anyone have access to births in New York 1891 - 1894 for Paul Richard DAWSON.
Male Dawson   30 Aug 1892   34019 is a possibility - Father Samuel Constantine Dawson and mother Catherine Dawson nee Garrity or she could be Kate.
Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards
Karen.

Hi Karen,

Paul Richard Dawson was my second great uncle. My great grandparents are Samuel James Dawson and Catherine Garrity. Can I be of any help?

Hello and thanks for your reply.

I am helping a friend from work with this family tree of hers. Her great grandfather was Paul Richard DAWSON apparently born in New York but we are unable so far to find this. A couple of possibilities to trace though.

I am seeing you mention Samuel James DAWSON and Catherine nee GARRITY: Is this Samuel the same person as Samuel Constantine DAWSON? Did he change his name to Samuel James DAWSON?

When you say Paul Richard DAWSON is your 2nd great uncle where do you fit in please?
We know Paul was born in New York as we have his marriage papers to Lydia, this also states his father as Samuel Constantine DAWSON as does his enlistment papers.

Hoping to hear back from you.
Kazza.

Hi Karen,

Paul Richard Dawson was born in New York in Aug 1891. The family stopped of there on their way to England. My grandmother believed that her fathers's middle name was James. His middle name does not appear on any records that I am aware of. They all just say Samuel Dawson.  Paul Richard Dawson is the brother of my grandmother Mary Ann. Paul and Lydia Cahn had a son Paul Frederick Manson Dawson who I think was living at Greenacre when he died. He was born 29 May 1915. I am sure that this the family you are looking for.

Hi
Yes this does sound like the same family then. Just needed to clear up the difference with the middle name.

Is there a birth cert of Paul Richard Dawson. The family seemed to of traveled a bit because I do have them coming from Plymouth to Sydney NSW 16 June 1881 on the 'Nineveh'.
Also have them from England to New York.

Two sons of Samuels and Catherines died in France WW1 Lancelot J 1918 and Constantine H 1916 but apparently buried in Rookwood Cemetery Sydney.

Do you have photos of the family.
Where is Greenacre to please?
