Hi Sharron1

Gender: Male

Father's Name: Lars Lawson

Spouse's name: Hannah Helen Grey

Spouse's Father's Name: George Grey

Considering the unusual name I wonder if this was a son from the marriage

This marriage came up as well matching the “unusual son/father name combination” – might be worth checking out - I think that the profession for Rasmus reads "Mariner"!

Mrsp

Don’t know what you have on Hannah, but this looks like her Christening record



Name: Hannah Helen Grey

Gender: Female Birth Date: abt 1866

Christening Date: 25 Feb 1866

Christening Place: Embleton, Northumberland, England

Father's Name: George Grey

Mother's Name: Mary



And her death record



Name: Hannah H Lawson

Death Registration Month/Year: 1921

Age at death (estimated): 54

Registration district: South Shields

Inferred County: Durham

Volume: 10a

Page: 786



The 1901 Census entry that Mrsp has listed looks right as on the 1881 and 1871 census it shows her birthplace as (West) Falloden Northumberland



My "gut" feeling is that you are going to have to look at Scandinavian countries, possibly Denmark for Rasmus' birth and perhaps trying the Surname Larsen rather than Lawson

Thank you GenieGenie and MrsP for the information you have given me, now to try and find Rasmus.



Sharron

Thank you so much Welshlady. Now on the hunt of another quest.
