Hi Pam.

Re: John gardner LAWSON

There is no marriage showing up for a John gardner LAWSON. Given that he was born 1878 a possible marriage should show up one would think somewhere between 1896 to early 1900s at the very least.
He may not have married.?.... There are no children births or deaths showing up with a father..... John gardner LAWSON...up to 1985 ( or at least none that i can find )

Best bet would be to purchase his death cert ( below ) as this would/should show any marriage or children as next of kin on his death cert. ( living or deceased at time of his death )

I am looking for a second marriage for Hamilton Joshua Drew, probably to a Christine, fairly soon after the death of his first wife, Criss, in 1925. I know there were no children from the second marriage, but this second marriage is not mentioned on his death certificate, presumably both would normally be listed? - DONE THANKYOU


I am also looking for the marriages and children of:

Augustus Nathaniel Otway Lawson born 1887 - DONE THANKYOU

and

John Gardner Lawson born 1878

and

William Thomas Borger Lawson born 1892 - DONE THANKYOU

finally any information of marriage, children or death of

Estelle Maud Drew, born 1882 Prahan. - DONE THANKYOU



If anyone has the cds and time to look up any of the above, I would be most grateful! In exchange I have a UK ancestry sub if anyone wants any UK census info etc looked up or sent.

Happy Christmas everyone, particularly if you are on your own at this time.
