I think this is a funeral report for Martha Dawson/Constantine/Wright - I wonder if the names of mourners and those sending flowers may give some clues?

That's brilliant thank you, definitely some names to check through

I think that the news article about Charles Dawson may be my GGG Grandfather looking at the dates.
Whenever I've seen it in the archives ive always dismissed it for some reason. Silly me!!

There's a fair amount of info for the Dawsons, which is why the missing birth certificate for John Austin 1888 is so odd...

Thank you for all this, I'll have a proper look when on laptop

There's a fair amount of info for the Dawsons,

yes  - they weren't a very peaceable lot, were they?

I finished going through the newspaper archive for Aberystwyth and got about 300 bookmarks, no exaggeration, for the petty sessions and other court appearances!

another little bit of info. Banns read March 13, 20 , 27 1864 Wrexham for Albert Edward Dawson and Sarah Margaret Jones. No sign of a marriage. He married Mary Jane in Aberystwyth 16 Sept 1864.
