Hi Folks,
I thought all my searching for Dawson Hitchcock would be pretty easy - not so! I have his birth cert and he was born in 1859/1860 in Ockbrook, Derbyshire, his parents being Henry Hitchcock and Matilda Burn. I have Dawson on the 1861, no problem, and was badly mistranscribed on the 1871 (but winkled him out all the same). He married Hannah Woodroffe in 1882, again I have the marriage cert, and I have every cert imaginable from thereonin. He is safely on the 1891 with missus Hannah, along with a number of kiddliwinks including my Grandmother Lily, but for the life of me I cannot find him on the 1881. I have tried ennumerable ruses, bunging in the barest details etc., and nowt! This search has been on Ancestry, so I then switched to LDS 1881, again with no joy. It's driving me bananas............!:(
Is there a chance he might have been in some theatre of war perhaps between 1871 to 1882? Not very well up on these things, I'm afraid. Can any kind soul out there spot him on the 1881 please?
Many thanks,
Chris
