My wife Moya's Great Grandfather was William Robert Lawson,and going by his marriage cert was born in New Orleans,America in 1857. He married Emily Cameron on the 10/12/1887 in St Arnaud,Victoria,Aust. His father was also William a sea captain and married to a Isabella Young,these details are also on the marriage cert. We seemed to have lost track of William Robert somewher betweeb 1907 and 1911, areas that william and emily lived in were Donald,Maryborough,Ballarat, all in Victoria. I have just sighted his daughters marriage cert dated 24/5/1907 and it shows her father william as a millwright,so we are only looking for his death or disappeaance from 1907-1911
Hello, Scott Lawson here. I am addicted to this family research thing. Way too many late nights. I started with only my grand father's name and am now back to 1811 to my 3x great grandfather James J. Lawson. b. 1811 d. 1874. Born in Maryland. Seem to be stuck with him. His wife was Catherine Fry and they were in the Westmoreland PA area. Everything up to James is well documented via obituaries and death certificates. Line looks like this starting with me and going back. Scott -> Timothy -> Paul -> Edward or Edmon -> Jacob -> James. A cousin from Jacob's brother side told me he has a bible that references a William but I can find no documented link. If you happen to be searching the same lawsons please let me know. Thx
