Find Ancestors

Seeking information regarding the DAWSON family who were millers, at both Walk Mill, near Hargrave, Cheshire and also Stapleford Mill, Foulk Stapleford, Cheshire.
William DAWSON (1837-1910) and his wife MARTHA TYDD / TIDD (1837-1912) milled there first, followed by their son WILLIAM DAWSON (1865-1944) and his wife SARAH HANNAH LYONS (1869-1935).
William and Sarah had a number of children of whom there must be many descendants.
Any information will be really appreciated.

Wow! Thank you all so much for this information; wonderfully kind of you!
I'm hoping that one day someone related might see this tread and get in touch.
Meanwhile, keep safe during these strange and isolating times.

The chances of anyone connected seeing this are negligible

Be pro-active - look for connections yourself in 'search all member trees' That's why GR provide the facility.

WILLIAM DAWSON (1865-1944) was my great great grandfather.
