  General Notes:

Paul Shurte notes:
David William Dawson, born January 1826 in Ravensden/Renhold, Bedfordshire of England. David William Dawson also known as William son of Thomas William Dawson and Anne "Betsy" "Elizabeth" Hare.

This group was to wait for the remaining family there in Victoria however the father moved to New South Wales and is believed to have been accompanied by William to the area of near Newcastle area. David William moved with father then to Armidale area. Molly had no knowledge of sailing list to verify this so it is believed she did not have an outside influence. Once in written correspondence from grandmother Molly Dawson (Mary nee Giles Dawson), and then another time when I discovered William mentioned on a Sailing list with his father and two brothers (these brothers are David, Benjamin, and Thomas - it is said in correspondence another brother is back in England with same names as Benjamin and Thomas waiting to come. This vessel disembarked in Victoria before the rest of the other Dawson families arrived. David William Dawson is baptized January 1826, at Renhold, Bedfordshire, England. His education level is only moderate in that he only knows how to read but not write. He emigrated before July 16, 1848, from Plymouth, England and landed in Victoria where he then went to Sydney, Australia. His religious preference was a Baptist
