Member Since: March 2004 Posts: 232 Send Message	Yes there was a previous thread and a lot of help. I don't know marriage date only know first child I can find was born 1845. This seems a bit late in life for Isaac to start having children as he would have been about 34 by then.

	Does 'still trying' mean that there was a previous thread? Have you checked the IGI? When was the marriage?

Member Since: March 2004 Posts: 232 Send Message	I'm still helping my friend with his Dawson tree and wonder if any member can help me over a stumbling block. I am looking for the parents of Isaac Dawson born 1811 Goldington Bedford. Isaac married an Elizabeth and went on to have 6 children, William, Charles, Phillip, Sarah, James and Sampson. I have them on census records but can't get back any further. Regards Maureen.
