His parents were John Dixon and Amelia. Her maiden name was Brett. John was born in Yorkshire around 1819. There is also an older John Dixon born in Yorkshire around 1790. In the 1871 census, John and Amelia are listed with children Breckon, age 17, Margaret age 16, Catherine age 14, John age 13, Henry age 11 and Annie E. It looks like the older Dixon's were buried in Lavendar cemetery as well. There is a John Dixon who died in 1865, possibly the one born in 1790? I was unable to find a death record on Ancestry, for Breckon, using any kind of spelling, even just putting in the death date without a name. That doesn't mean it's not there, the transcribers use some very creative spelling sometimes! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
