Dear Recorder, I'm sorry to say I have misled you - and myself too. I had thought the Thomas Wilson who was married at St. Cyprian's Edge Hill was the Thomas Wilson, born Liverpool 1854, one of the sons of Richard Wilson (who in turn was born Ravenglass, West Cumberland). But I managed to find your Thomas's marriage certificate on familysearch, and I now know that Richard Wilson was not his father.
I haven't got a Joseph Dawson either...... Sorry about that. It would have been good to find a family connection.
Ian
