Richard Wall (bap. 10 Jan 1840 at St Bartholomew's, Wednesbury) Schoolmaster, son of Wheelwright, Thomas Wall and Harriet Owen, married Margaret Manning Sawyer, the youngest daughter of William Arthur Sawyer and Ann Smith, on 19 Dec 1863 at St Leonard's Church, Malinslee, (Dawley Nova), Shropshire.

Richard and Margaret Wall had one child, a son:

1. Richard Arthur Wall b. 24 May 1865 J Quarter in MADELEY Volume 06A Page 599, bap. 18 Jun 1865 at St Leonard's Church, Malinslee.

Richard Wall late of Malins Lee School House, Malins Lee, in the County of Salop (old name for Shropshire), died, aged 31, on 21 Mar 1871 at Horseley Road, Tipton in the County of Stafford. (1871 M Quarter in DUDLEY Vol 06C Page 30). 

In 1871, Margaret M Wall (30) Widow, School Mistress, was still living and working at Lumpers Row (School House), Dawley, Madeley, Shropshire with son Richard A Wall (5) Scholar. Living with them was her mother, Ann Sawyer (70).

Probate of her husband's estate was granted to Margaret Manning Wall on 26 Mar 1872, by which time she was in Chirk near Ruabon in the County of Denbigh.

In 1881, Margaret M Wall (40) Widow, School Mistress, was living at School House, Sedgwick, Kendal, Westmorland (Old School House, Sedgwick) with Mary Archer (74) Widow, Retired Grocer from Bermondsey, Middlesex, who was her Aunt (her mother's sister), who the record notes was deaf, and Jane Sawyer (48) Single, Retired Grocer, who was Margaret's sister. Meanwhile, Richard A Wall (15) Ironmonger's Apprentice was a boarder in the household of Daniel M G Ross (31) Plumber at 114, Rawlinson Street, Barrow in Furness, Lancashire.

In 1891, Margaret M Wall (50) Widow, Retired School Mistress, was staying with her brother-in-law, George Holland and his wife Ann - Margaret's eldest sister - at Convent Lane, Holy Trinity and St Mary, Hull, Yorkshire.

Mary Manning Wall died, aged 51, in 1892 J Quarter in KENDAL Volume 10B Page 429. She was buried on 28 May 1892 in Kendal, Westmorland.

John Sawyer married Charlotte Manning at St Mary's Church, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk by licence, on 15 Dec 1788. Charlotte Manning, was baptised on 29 May 1768 at the Church of St Clare, Bradfield St Clare, a village about six miles south of Bury St Edmunds, the daughter of Thomas Manning and Mary Girling.

Records I can identify include six children of this couple:

1. Charlotte Sawyer bap. 16 Nov 1795. Infant, daughter of John and Charlotte Sawyer was buried, on 9 Mar 1796, at St Michael's Church, Beccles.
2. George Sawyer b. 24 Feb 1797, bap. 3 Mar 1797 at St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, however, a further record states that the infant son of John Sawyer & Charlotte Manning was buried in Great Yarmouth on 5 Jun 1797.
3. William Arthur Sawyer b. 18 Nov 1798, bap. 20 Nov 1798
4. George Sawyer b. 9 May 1801, bap. 11 May 1801
5. Elizabeth Sawyer b. 6 Dec 1802, bap. 13 Dec 1802
6. Frederick Sawyer b. 1 Nov 1805, bap. 11 Nov 1805

William Arthur, George, Elizabeth and Frederick were all also baptised at St Nicholas Church, Great Yarmouth (Great Yarmouth Minster).

Charlotte Sawyer or Manning (as the record helpfully says) died, age given as 44, and was buried at St Nicholas (Great Yarmouth Minster), on 3 Jun 1808.

John Sawyer died, aged 55 and was buried, also at St Nicholas Church, Great Yarmouth, on 25 Feb 1820. (This would place his birth date around 1765, however, without knowing where he was born, it isn't possible to isolate his baptism.)

Harold Sawyer and Laura Ethel Baker

The former St James' Church, Derby

Harold Sawyer (b. 23 Feb 1876), son of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, married Laura Ethel Baker (b. 17 Aug 1881), daughter of Thomas Barnes Baker and Florence Emily Lovegrove, on 10 Oct 1907, at St James' Church, Derby. 

Harold and Laura had only one child:

1. Frederick Harold Sawyer b. 10 Feb 1909 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 269, bap. 4 Apr 1909 at St. John the Evangelist, Hull.

In 1911, Harold Sawyer (35) Boot and Shoe Dealer was living at 79 Princes Avenue Hull, Sculcoates, with wife Laura Ethel Sawyer (29) from Derby, Derbyshire, Assisting in the Business and Frederick Harold Sawyer (2).

In 1921, still at 79, Princes Avenue, Sculcoates, were Harold Sawyer (45) Boot & Shoe Dealer; Laura Ethel Sawyer (39) and Frederick Harold Sawyer (12).

In 1939, Harold Sawyer, Ledger Clerk (oil) and Laura E Sawyer, were listed as living at 20 De Avenue, Kingston Upon Hull. (I think they mean Ormonde Avenue).

Harold Sawyer died, aged 66, on 18 Mar 1942 (M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 503) at 20 Ormonde Avenue, Hull. Probate was granted on 5 May 1942 to Laura Ethel Sawyer and Frederick Harold Sawyer.

William Arthur Sawyer (20), son of William Sawyer and Ann Smith, married Ruth Swift, daughter of William Swift and Mary Ann Lister, on 21 Aug 1855, at the Parish Church of Kirk Ella. Both were resident in Anlaby. At the time of his marriage, William Arthur Sawyer's occupation was listed as Shoe Maker, as was his father's. Ruth's father is listed as late William Swift, Ingeneer (sic). The church official was obviously better at maths than spelling too! LOL

William and Ruth had 15 children over 26 years, including one pair of twins. Seven of these children, including both twins, sadly, did not survive infancy:

I've been unable to find any of this family on the Census of 1861.

In 1871, William Arthur Sawyer (35) Post Office Letter Stamper from Yarmouth, Norfolk, was living at Parade, South Anns Buildings, Holy Trinity, Hull, with Ruth Sawyer (37), Lavinia J Sawyer (14) Servant; Rebecca A Sawyer (11); Arthur W Sawyer (7); Mary E Sawyer (5); Ruth S Sawyer (3) and Emmeline Sawyer (1).

In 1881, they were living at 1, Clifton Street, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, where the household comprised: William A Sawyer (45) Letter carrier from Yarmouth, Norfolk; Ruth (47); Rebecca R (21) Dressmaker; Arthur W (17) Apprentice; Mary E (16) Errand Girl; Ruth S (13); Harold (5); Alfred (3) and Ethel (0). Lavinia Jane Sawyer (24) was housekeeper, at 98, Gt Thornton Street, Kingston upon Hull.

In 1891, still in Clifton Street, listed as William Sayer (sic) (55) and employed as a Parkman, with Ruth (57); Rebecca (30) Dressmaker and Ruth S (23) Mother's Help, Harold (15) Wood Carver Apprentice; Alfred (13) and Ethel (10) at school. Lavinia Jane Sawyer (31) Boot & shoe dealer was living on the Anlaby Road, Hull with Clara J Foster (15) Servant. I've been unable to find Mary Ellen (26).

William Arthur Sawyer died on Monday, 15 Jan 1900, at his residence at 93 Belvoir Street, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, aged 64. The newspaper announcement says he was buried at the Western Cemetery on the Thursday [18 Jan 1900] at 2:50 pm.

In 1901, the widowed Ruth Sawyer (67) was living in Rodney Street, Sculcoates, with daughter, Rebecca Ruth (41) Dressmaker and son Alfred Sawyer (23) Grocer's Assistant. Son Harold Sawyer (25) Single, Wood and Stone Carver, from Hull, in 1901, was a boarder in Russell Street, Peterborough, Northamptonshire; Lavinia Sawyer (44) Bootmaker, Shopkeeper was on the Anlaby Road, Hull. Mary E Sawyer (36) Cook, was in Lairgate, Beverley. Ethel Sawyer (20) was housemaid to John G J Marshall, Seed Merchant, at 391, Beverley Road, Sculcoates.

In 1911, Ruth Sawyer (77) was living with her daughter Rebecca Ruth Sawyer (51) Costumier, in Sculcoates. While Lavinia Sawyer (54) Boot and Shoe Dealer, and her sister Mary Ellen Sawyer (46) were living at 169 Anlaby Road Hull, Holy Trinity.

Ruth Sawyer (née Swift) died, aged 79, in Sculcoates on 13 Nov 1913.

In 1921, Lavinia Jane Sawyer (64) Boot & Shoe Dealer was at 169, Anlaby Road, Hull. It appears that Mary Ellen Sawyer (56) was Domestic Servant to a Mary Helen Gilpin Brown (56) in Thornton-Le-Dale.

Rebecca Ruth Sawyer (62) died at 70 Brunswick Avenue, Hull, on 17 Sep 1921. 

Lavinia Jane Sawyer of 169 Anlaby Road, Kingston-upon-Hull, Spinster died, aged 65, on 1 Oct 1921, leaving her effects to her brother, Harold Sawyer, boot dealer.

In 1939, Mary Ellen Sawyer, Retired, was living at 65 Minster Moorgate, Beverley. Mary Ellen Sawyer of 65 Minster Moorgate, Beverley, died, aged 77, on 2 May 1942, leaving her effects to her sister, Ruth Swift Dawson, Widow.

Alfred Sawyer and Emma Rebecca Lee

Grave marker for Alfred and Emma Rebecca Sawyer 'Reunited'

Alfred Sawyer (b. 1877), son of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, married Emma Rebecca Lee (b. 15 Nov 1867, bap. 27 Jan 1868 at Holy Trinity Church), daughter of George Lee and Emma Waugh, at St. Paul's Church, Hull, on 16 Aug 1909. Despite being ten years older than her husband, this was the first marriage for both of them. Both gave their address as 70 Brunswick Ave, Hull.

Marrying late, it is no surprise that the couple did not have any children.

In 1911, Alfred Sawyer (33) Furniture Dealer was living at 19 Kimberley Street, Hull with wife Emma Rebecca Sawyer (43). 

In 1921, Alfred Sawyer (43) Salesman at Ed Davies & Coy Ltd Hull Furnishers and Emma Rebecca Sawyer (53) were living at 46, Thoresby Street, Sculcoates.

Alfred Sawyer died, aged 51, on 1 Jan 1929 (M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 401). The Hull Daily Mail on 2 Jan 1929 reported on the HULL MAN'S SUDDEN DEATH, detailing, "The death occurred on New Year's Day of Alfred Sawyer, 51, of Thoresby Street, Hull, a buyer in the employ of Messrs Edwin Davis & C Ltd, drapers, of Bond Street, Hull. Sawyer was at work up to noon on Tuesday when he complained to the manager of severe pains in his body. He was sent home in a private car and became worse, and died before the arrival of a doctor." 

"SAWYER:- Jan 1st at 46 Thoresby Street, suddenly, Alfred, beloved husband of Emmie Sawyer. Internment Northern Cemetery, Friday, 1 p.m." 

In 1939, Emma Rebecca Sawyer, widow, of private means, was still living at 46 Thoresby Street, Kingston Upon Hull, with two single females in the household: Louise Rudolph a Domestic Servant and Jane Thompson, a Companion Help.

Emma Rebecca Sawyer of 46 Thoresby Street, Kingston Upon Hull, died, aged 83, on 20 May 1951 and is buried at the Northern Cemetery, Kingston Upon Hull, along with her husband. She left her estate to George Lee, electrician.

Thomas Stocks and Ethel Sawyer

Thomas Stocks (b. 1 Nov 1882), son of William Henry Stocks and Eliza Hobbs, married Ethel Sawyer (b. 25 Jan 1881), daughter of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, on 27 Jul 1903 in the parish of Sculcoates, St Mary - this will have been in the 18th century parish church, Air Street, demolished in stages between 1916 and 1960s, not St Mary's Church, Sculcoates Lane, 1915-16. Thomas Stocks residence was at the time of the marriage, was in Nicholson Street and Ethel was listed as living in Exchange Street, which crosses Nicholson Street.

Thomas and Ethel had eight children:

1. Elsie Stocks b. 3 Sep 1903 in SCULCOATES  Volume 09D  Page 146, bap. 1903 at St John's Church, Newland.
2. Ethel May Stocks b. 31 Oct 1904 in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 126, bap. 8 Dec 1904 at St John's Church, Newland.

7. Henry Stocks b. 1915  M Quarter in SCULCOATES  Volume 09D  Page 515, d. aged 6, 1921 S Quarter in SCULCOATES  Volume 09D  Page 229
8. Ernest Stocks b. 28 Mar 1917 in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 368

The family's address shown on Ethel May's baptism record is 8 Carrisbrooke Villas, Newland Avenue.

In 1911, living at 4 Ferndale Avenue, Exmouth St Hull, Sculcoates, were Thomas Stocks (29) Butcher journey man - an employee - Ethel Stocks (30), Elsie Stocks (7), [Ethel] May Stocks (6), Frederick Stocks (3) and Leonard Stocks (0). 

In 1921, Thomas Stocks (38) Slaughterman, for Hull Wholesale Meat Company, was living at 26, Exmouth Street, Newland Avenue, Sculcoates with Ethel Stocks (40), Elsie Stocks (17), Ethel May Stocks (16) who was working for a Mrs Gardiner at 30 Exmouth Street (presumably domestic duties); Beatrice Stocks (14), Frederick Stocks (13), Leonard Stocks (10), Henry Stocks (6) and Ernest Stocks (4).

In 1939, at 42 Falmouth Street, Kingston Upon Hull, Yorkshire, there were Thomas Stocks, Slaughterman Butcher Stall Holder; Ethel Stocks; Elsie Stocks, Dressmaker; Ethel May Stocks, Domestic Worker Seeking Work; Frederick Stocks, Poulterer, and Ernest Stocks, Poulterer's Assistant (Unemployed), as well as a (currently) closed record which is doubtless Ethel May's son, Dennis Redmore Stocks.

Ethel Stocks (née Sawyer) died in Hull, in 1959, aged 77.

Thomas Stocks died in Hull, Yorkshire in 1961.

William Arthur Sawyer and Ann Smith

Beach, Gorleston-on-Sea
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © PAUL FARMER - geograph.org.uk/p/6203072

William Arthur Sawyer (b. 18 Nov 1798, bap. 20 Nov 1798 in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk), son of John Sawyer and Charlotte Manning, married Ann Smith, daughter of Charles Smith and Esther Salter, on 29 Jun 1822 at St Andrew's Church, Gorleston, Suffolk (now Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk).

There are records for five children:

1. Ann Salter Sawyer bap. 15 Jun 1825 at The Minster Church of St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
2. Henrietta Mary Sawyer bap. 15 Sep 1828 at The Minster Church of St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
3. Jane Sawyer b. 19 Jul 1832, bap. 22 Jul 1832 at The Minster Church of St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. 
4. William Arthur Sawyer b. 10 Aug 1835, bap. 13 Sep 1835 at The Minster Church of St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
5. Margaret Manning Sawyer, b. 1840 D Quarter in GREAT YARMOUTH Vol 13 Page 329 (mother's name SMITH), bap. 20 Apr 1851 in Great Yarmouth.

On the baptisms William Sawyer's occupation is listed as Cordwainer, which makes the distinction that he was a shoemaker who makes new shoes from new leather, as opposed to a cobbler who just repairs them. On Jane and William Arthur's baptisms, their denomination, curiously, is listed as Primitive Methodist and that these are the records of NORFOLK: Yarmouth Tabernacle (Prim. Methodist): Births & Baptisms, but on the originals, it is clearly written that the baptisms were at St Nicholas. 

Also on Jane's baptism, her mother is listed as 'Ann Sawyer, otherwise Salter', the latter used as a middle name for eldest child, Ann. We know from the marriage record and from the registration of Margaret's birth that her maiden name was Smith. As we see, Salter was Ann Smith's mother's maiden name.

In 1841, William Sawyer (35) was living in George Street, Great Yarmouth, with wife Ann (35), Ann (15), Henrietta (10), Jane (8), William (6) and Margaret (0).

In 1851, William Sawyer (50), Shoe Maker, and Ann Sawyer (50), birthplace London, were living at 100, Row, St Georges Ward, [Great] Yarmouth, Norfolk, England with Henrietta (22), Jane (18), William (15) and Margaret (10).

Henrietta Sawyer died, age estimated to 22, in 1852 S Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Volume 09D Page 165. This is useful to pin down the timeframe during which the family had must have relocated to Hull.

William Arthur Sawyer died in 1858 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 104 and was buried, on 24 Nov 1858 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates. 

In 1861, Ann Sawyer (50) - ten years out - widow, was boarding with her son-in-law, George Holland and eldest daughter, Ann, at 5, Kings Square, Sculcoates. Jane Sawyer (28) was living in Market Place, Kendal, Westmorland with her widowed Aunt (her mother's sister) Mary Taylor, assisting in her grocery business.

In 1871, Ann Sawyer (70) widow, was living with her youngest daughter, Margaret M Wall (30) Widow, School Mistress, at Lumpers Row (School House), Dawley, Madeley, Shropshire. Jane Sawyer (34ish) was still at Market Place House, Kendal, Westmorland with her Aunt, now remarried, Mary Archer.

Ann Sawyer wasn't with any of the immediate family anywhere in 1881, so I'm fairly sure she died in the interim decade. There is a death of an Ann Sawyer, of the right age 75 in 1876, in Warwick, Warwickshire (Q4 Vol 6D Page 299). This is relatively close to the midlands area she was living in with her youngest daughter and my research didn't find any corresponding local woman whose death it could have been instead, so I think it reasonable to believe this may be her.

In 1881, Jane Sawyer (48) Retired grocer was living with her younger sister, Margaret M Wall at School House, Sedgwick, Kendal, Westmorland.

In 1891, Jane Sawyer (58) Living on own means, was staying with her older sister, Ann Salter Holland, in Convent Lane, Holy Trinity and St Mary, Hull. 

In 1901, Jane Sawyer (68) from Yarmouth, Norfolk, was living at Bindless Lodge, Milnthorpe, Kendal, Westmorland.

In 1911, still at Bindloss Cottage Homes (Bindloss Cottages, Milnthorpe, an Almshouse Charity), Milnthorpe, Westmorland, was Jane Smith Sawyer (78) from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, listed as 'Occupant of bindloss homes', along with Marion Lamb (64) and Mary Ann Ashburner (55), both listed as Nurse attendant. 

Jane Smith Marianne Sawyer died, aged 79, in 1912 J Quarter in KENDAL Volume 10B Page 787. She certainly didn't have those ever increasing second names (obviously, Smith was her mother's maiden name) at baptism, but adding them has proven very useful in locating and confirming the record of her death.

Arthur William Sawyer and Mary Ann Littlewood

Arthur William Sawyer (b. 1863), son of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, married Mary Ann Littlewood (b. 10 Apr 1863), daughter of Joseph Littlewood and Jane Leckenby, on 14 Apr 1885, at St. Thomas's Church, Hull (another lost church that was damaged in a Zeppelin raid in the First World War and more severely by bombing in the Second World War. Subsequently demolished.) 

Arthur and Mary Ann had five children:

1. Arthur Edward Sawyer b. 1885 S Quarter in CAISTOR Volume 07A Page 647, bap. 28 Oct 1885 at St Andrew's, Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
2. Etheleen Mary Sawyer b. 1887 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 293, bap. in 1890, in Hull.
3. Elsie Verna Sawyer b. 1890 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 241, bap. in 1890, in Hull. Died in the same 1890 D Quarter in HULL Vol 09D Page 171.
4. Olive May Sawyer b. 1891 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 280, bap. in 1891, in Hull.
5. Horace Sawyer b. 1893 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 301, bap. 31 May 1893 at St. Luke's Church, Hull. Died in the same quarter of  1893 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 175.

Clearly they were in Hull in 1891, but I haven't found them on that year's census.

In 1901, Arthur W Sawyer (37) Upholsterer, was living in Denman Street, West Derby, Lancashire - described as "an affluent suburb of Liverpool" - with wife Mary A Sawyer (37) from Strensall, North Yorkshire; Arthur E Sawyer (15) and a John T Bestwich (20) also an Upholsterer from Matlock, Derbyshire, Boarder. That year Etheleen Sawyer (13) was a visitor in the household of Walter Littlewood (35) Schoolmaster from Rochdale, Lancashire at Salisbury Terrace, Wavertree, Lancashire. Presumably, Walter Littlewood was a relative of Mary Ann's. I've not managed to locate Olive May who would have been around 9 or 10.

In 1911, Arthur William Sawyer (46) Upholsterer in the Wicker and Cane Industry was living in Syston, Leicestershire with wife Mary Ann Sawyer (46) Housekeeper, Arthur Edward Sawyer (24) Upholsterer; Etheleen Mary Sawyer (23), Olive May Sawyer (19) Upholstress; Edmund John Timlock (20) Cane Furniture Worker, Boarder and William Alfred Dare (21) Draughtsman from Stepney, London, Visitor.

In 1921, Arthur William Sawyer (58) from Hull, General Upholsterer employed by Saunders House Furnishers, and Mary Ann Sawyer (58) were Boarders in the household of William John Daniell, Blacksmith - whose wife Mabel was the Boarding House Keeper - at 4, The Myrtles, Sidmouth, Devon.

In 1939, they were both living at Snelston, Fortescue Road, Sidmouth, Devon, along with daughter, Olive May and son-in-law, Cyril Bernard Hawes Bloxam.

Mary Ann Sawyer died, aged 85, in Honiton, Devon in  1948.

Arthur William Sawyer died, aged 86, in Honiton, Devon in 1949.

• Arthur Edward Sawyer married Ellen Elizabeth Snell on 2 Aug 1913 at St Andrew's Church, Leicester. Records in 1915 to 1919 suggest Arthur served in the Army during World War I. I cannot find that this couple had any children. Ellen Elizabeth Sawyer died, aged 50, in Leicester, in 1937. Arthur Edward Sawyer died, at 61, in Leicester, in 1947. 
• Etheleen Mary Sawyer married Sidney Charles Odam, in Syston, Leicestershire on 6 Sep 1922. They appear to have had two sons: Norman Sidney Odam on 15 July 1923 and Roy in 1925, both born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Sidney Charles Odam died at 64, in Leicester, in 1952. Etheleen Mary Odam died in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, in 1975. Norman Sidney Odam died on 20 Jun 2000 and is buried at Weddington (Saint James) Churchyard. Roy Odam died in Atherstone, Warwickshire, in 2013.
• Olive May Sawyer married Cyril Bernard Hawes Bloxam, in 1917, in Leicester. Their son, Bernard Arthur Sawyer Bloxam was born, on 23 Nov 1919, in Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire and baptised in 1920, in Syston. They were living in Barrow upon Soar in 1921. Olive May Bloxam died in Honiton, Devon in 1964 and Cyril B H Bloxam remarried to Rose Banfield, also in Honiton, in 1965. Cyril Bernard Hawes Bloxam died, in Honiton, Devon, in 1988, aged 98. And a record of a Rose Bloxom (b. 1918), who died, in Exeter, Devon, in 2000. Bernard Bloxam married in Blaby, Leicestershire in 1942 and died in Leicester in 2005.

Charles Dawson (b. 1869 in Barnsley), son of Charles Dawson and Ann Senior, married Ruth Swift Sawyer (b. 1868 in Hull), daughter of William Arthur Sawyer and Ruth Swift, at St Paul's Church, Sculcoates on 11 April 1891.

Charles and Ruth had nine children: 

1. Hilda Dawson b. 29 Dec 1891, bap. 5 Jun 1892 at St. Philip's, Hull
2. Charles William Dawson b. 16 Dec 1892 in HOWDEN Vol 09D  Page 91

9. Bernard Sawyer Dawson b. 1909 D Quarter in BARNSLEY Volume 09C Page 254, died aged 0 in 1910 J Quarter in BARNSLEY Volume 09C Page 115

Well, I hope I've included all their children. You would think Sawyer was a straightforward surname, but the mother's maiden name on Charles William is listed as LAWYER and on Mabel Ruth, it's SAWZER. These errors are so random, it's therefore impossible to tell if I've covered all potential variations.

In 1901, Charles Dawson (32) Draper's Traveller and Commission Agent, birthplace Jump, South Yorkshire, was living in Church Street, North Cave, with Ruth S Dawson (33), Hilda Dawson (9) born in Hutton Cranswick; Charles W Dawson (8); Mabel R Dawson (7); Cyril Dawson (4) and Wilmot Dawson (3).

In 1911, Charles Dawson (42) had become a Verger and School Caretaker for the Church and Education Authority in Barnsley. Living in the household are Ruth Swift Dawson (43), Charles William Dawson (18) Learner at Shirt Factory; Mabel Ruth Dawson (17); Cyril Dawson (14) Painter's Errand Boy; Wilmot Dawson (13), also a Painter's Errand Boy; Adeline Beatrice Dawson (8) and Dorothy Dawson (7).

In 1921, Charles Dawson (52) Church Verger; Ruth Swift Dawson (53), Charles William Dawson (28) Tram Car Conductor for Sheffield Corporation; Mabel Ruth Dawson (27) Clerk; Cyril Dawson (25) Postman for the G P O; Adeline Beatrice Dawson (18) Telegraphist and Dorothy Dawson (17) Sub Post Office Assistant, were living at 26, Pendeen Road, Sheffield, Ecclesall, Yorkshire.

In the case of Hilda Dawson and Dorothy Dawson, each with only one forename, there are too many records to narrow it down to the relevant ones.

Convent Lane takes its name from the Roman Catholic Convent and School of the Sisters of Mercy, the first convent in Hull, which was established here in 1857. The old buildings on Convent Lane were severely damaged by bombing during World War Two and finally demolished in 1954.

Ann Salter Sawyer (b. 1825), eldest daughter of William Arthur Sawyer and Ann Smith, married Thomas Lawrence, in Bermondsey, London in the first quarter of 1853. That marriage did not produce any children. There is no information to tell us where Thomas Lawrence was from, or when he was born, so it's been impossible to find his birth or baptism and, without those clues, likewise, it hasn't been possible to find any relevant death. Nevertheless, it was Ann Salter Lawrence who married George Peck Holland in the first quarter of 1856, in Sculcoates.

George Holland was baptised in Spratton, Northamptonshire on 22 Sep 1829, son of George Peck Holland and his wife Mary. In 1851, George Holland (23) was living in Wood Street, St Sepulchre, Northampton in the household of Elizabeth Robinson (58) Widow from Haddon, Northamptonshire, described as her nephew.

The marriage between George Peck Holland and Ann Salter Lawrence took place on 7 Feb 1856 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates. George was 28 and Ann, who was 31, gave her age as 26. Both gave their residence at the time as Sykes Street, Hull. George Peck Holland listed his father as George Peck Holland, but Ann's father was listed - or the assumption was allowed to go unchallenged - as William Arthur Lawrence. Was she a widow? It looks like she was pretending to be single.

George and Ann had one child, a daughter:

1. Henrietta Ann Holland b. 1859 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 145, who died, aged 1, in 1860 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 109. She was buried at All Saints Church, Sculcoates, on 8 Nov 1860.

In 1861, George Holland (33) Boot maker from Northampton, Northamptonshire was living at 5, Kings Square, Sculcoates with Ann S Holland (33ish), William Rowntree (59) Coal dealer, widower, boarder and Ann Sawyer (50) - this is an underestimate: she was 60 - widow, boarder - Ann Salter Holland's mother.

In 1871, George Holland (42) from Northamptonshire and Ann Holland (43ish) from Norfolk, were living in Mill Lane, Holy Trinity, Hull.

In 1881, George Holland (53) Boot Maker and Ann Holland (52ish) were living in the same place, 5, Mill Lane, Kingston upon Hull Holy Trinity.

In 1891, George Holland (63) Shoemaker and Ann Holland (63ish) were living in Convent Lane, Holy Trinity and St Mary, Hull. Living with them that year were Ann's two surviving sisters: Jane Sawyer (58) Single, Living on own means and Margaret Wall (50) Retired School Mistress, Widow.

George Peck Holland died, aged 71, in 1899 J Qtr in HULL Vol 09D Page 180.

In 1901, Ann Salter Holland (75) widow, was living alone at 5, Convent Lane, Holy Trinity, Hull and died, aged 76, in 1901 S Qtr in HULL Vol 09D Page 229.
