jemima fenton 1833
william 1835
victoria 1837
john 1839
jane mulvey 1842
laura 1844
I am hoping that some of the unusual middle names are older surnames.

he is listed in the 1832 poll book as DAWSON,JOHN,SHIPWRIGHT,GRAFTON STREET,TOXTETH PK.,S & D
should say i hvent a clue what S&D meant!
I think his parents were ?Dawson B 1770 D bef 1841 and Jemima B 1774 D aft 1841 his brotheres were william 1805 henry 1806 lofthouse 1811 and richard1816

just wondering if anyone can shed more light on this family particulalrly earler in 1790-1840
thank you in advance.
i know this family all resided in the Toxtheth park area for several generations also if that helps

Nanna - thank you so much for your speedy reply. From what you found I guess James Purcell moved down to London in late '37 or early '38. While in Liverpool he taught basket making at the Liverpool Blind School, before moving to London. Thank you again, really appreciate it.

It was a pleasure Kathy, although I'm sure a great loss for the school.
