Hi Rona, My 2x Gt Grandparents were Thomas MOODY and Sarah nee DAWSON they were married about 1862 possibly near Hartlepool. Sarah was born about 1843 at Claxton or Greatham. They lived in Front Street, Northallerton from about 1871 where they had a carpeners business. If Sarah one of your DAWSON's I would be very grateful for any info about her.

I have just subscribed to this list with the hope that someone may be able to help me. My maternal side of my family was named DAWSON or DOWSON and I know that they originated in STOKESLEY with one branch moving to Ingleby Arncliff. Has anyone any information on these names, please? Does anyone know if there are any graves of these people in Stokesley? Thank you for reading this. Rona.
