Hi

I'm looking for a John Lawson born 1864 who lived in 9 Pilgrim Street Monkwearmouth Sunderland and married Mary Elizabeth Holmes in c1885 according to 1891 census. By 1901 she was living on her own with 6 children - 3 of them I believe were not John Lawson's although they carried his surname but also with a middle name of Rennie. I think she married a Charles Rennie in 1902. Can't find John anywhere in deaths or 1901 census.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Dave

Hi

Yes they are mine I'm curious as to where John went after his last child to him was born Annie born c1892.

There's a John LAWSON, miner, 29, single, on board the STATE OF CALIFORNIA travelling from Glasgow to NY departing 25 September 1891.

There's a John LAWSON, lab, 28, single, on board the LAURENTIAN travelling Liverpool to Montreal departing 15 June 1893

There are some other potentials, which I haven't checked up for occupation and/or age.
