Dawber Family Grave: After a day spent walking knee deep in mud, shrubs and nettles, I failed to find the Dawber family grave, but did find some corresponding graves in the location, so I know I am getting close. Next time I will go with some cutting gear! Richard Stephenson Snr: After fruitless searches through grave transcriptions, Hull City Archives, and the Local Studies Centre, I contacted Hull City Council Bereavement Centre and enquired about Richard Stephenson. Sadly there is no record of Richard being buried in Hull!! Christening Entries: A thorough search of Christening Entries at Hull’s Holy Trinity came up with several notable finds on the Dawber family, including Mary, Martha, and Robert. There was also a lengthy entry on Martha Dawber’s Christening entry, as there was some confusion when one of the witnesses called her Mary, which was duly entered in the register! Dixon Stephenson: Entries for Dixon Stephenson have been found and it appears as though Dixon took his wife’s surname, not his own, when the two married. I am looking into this matter, but it might explain why it is difficult tracing this family back to the late 1700’s! |
