Hi Helen, To be honest as the bounderies of Chester today are so different to what they were in the 1860's i wouldn't know which to go for. Elizabeth has always stated her place of birth as Chester Thank you very much for the lookup Regards Mike

Hi Georgina, I do Know her siblings and parents i believe ,but they are born all over,On census 1881 and 1891 she states her birthplace as Chester ,and on her marriage cert in 1884 her father is a Butcher. Her Father is also a Butcher on the 1881 and 1861 census .Her siblings that i know of are; Sarah born abt 1865 Castleton,Lancs, Clara born abt 1872 ,Manchester,Lancs. Forence born abt 1875 Barrow in Furness, Lancs. Alice born abt 1877 Barrow in Furness ,Lancs. Samuel Dawson born abt 1879 Barrow in Furness ,Lancs. Frank Dawson born abt 1881 Barrow in Furness Lancs. To date i have had no success locating them on the 1871 Regards Mike

This is the 2nd one... Birth Sep 1867 Dawson Elizabeth Wirral.8a 395 and the 1st one.... Birth Dec 1866 Dawson Elizabeth Great Boughton.8a 306 Do you have her in 1871? That might help you work out which one is her.

Ancestry has 15 birth registrations for Elizabeth Dawson 5 years either side of 1865. Any thoughts on which one is most likely to be the one you are looking for?

Mike do you know any of her siblings names, maybe we could shorten your list by cross referencing with the census. Georgina.

I am looking to order a birth certificate for an Elizabeth Dawson born about 1865 in what was at the time the Chester area. Due to the amount of possibles at that time ,and the incorrect information often given, i know that i will have to order several to get the correct one. To date i have identified 2 possibles on the Cheshire Bmd site, but their reference numbers appear different to the Gro references which i prefer to order from. The 2 possibles and i know that there may be others, are; Sub District............Registers At....................References.............Year...... Tattenhall...............Cheshire West...............TAT/10/99.................1866.... Eastham.................Cheshire West...............EAS/17/19................1867.. Cheshire West is i beleive the district that Chester was registered under. Any help would be greatly appreciated Regards Mike
