Henry Dawson aged 11 on LDS 1881 place of birth is Tisg On. Tried Googling it but no response. . . . . Do you know where it is or what it means? Parents and earlier children were born in Walsingham. Later children born in 'Westminster Line'.. Any Ideas? David

Its bound to be a mistranscription. Where is he in 1881, I'll check the image on ancestry. nell

Nell Thanks Father is James Dawson, b Walsingham, Mother Ann. Address 17 Castle Buildings London, Middlesex regards david

Ancestry 1881 for ref St Margaret London James Dawson abt 1845 Walsingham, Norfolk, Head Ann Dawson abt 1845 Walsingham, Norfolk, England Wife Charlotte Dawson abt 1868 Walsingham, Norfolk, Daughter Henry Dawson abt 1870 Tisg On Son William Dawson abt 1873 Westminster , Middlesex Alice Dawson abt 1874 Westminster , Middlesex,Daughter Albertha Dawson abt 1879 Westminster , Middlesex, Daughter Lilian Dawson abt 1880 Westminster , Middlesex, Daughter Image looks like Siston or Sington? but I will see if I can find them on another census. nell

1871 would be the nearest to Henry's birth adn therefore the most accurate - but I can't find any of your Dawsons - not James, or Ann or Charlotte or Henry!!! nell

1891 - St Margaret and St John the Evangelist Westminster London James Dawson abt 1845 New Walsingham, Norfolk, Head Anne Dawson abt 1845 New Walsingham, Norfolk, Wife >>>Henry Dawson abt 1871 St Luke, Middlesex, England Son William Dawson abt 1873 Westminster, Middlesex, Son Lilian Dawson abt 1880 Westminster, Middlesex, Daughter May Dawson abt 1885 Westminster, Middlesex, Daughter Herbert Dawson abt 1889 Westminster, Middlesex, Son Mildred Dawson abt 1890 Westminster, Middlesex, Daughter St Luke's is a district of London just north of the actual City, in the Old Street area. I don't think the 1881 image looked anything like St Luke!!! nell

Cas, as ever, is v. helpful. Islington is next door to St Luke's. This oculd be his birth ref: Henry Dawson Year of Registration: 1870 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Islington County: Greater London, London, Middlesex Volume: 1b Page: 273

Thank you both. Islingon sounds about right. I began to think it was somewhere in Burma or Indo China. Regards david

Thanks again, Cas and Nell
