George Dawson was baptised on 10th September 1786 at Luton in Bedfordshire. He was the son of Isaac and Ann Dawson.
On 23rd September 1809, aged 23, George married Sarah Hornet at Welwyn in Hertfordshire, about eleven miles east of Luton. She was about seven years older than him. For the first few years after their marriage they lived in Welwyn, having four children baptised there between 1810 and 1821.[7] George worked as a rope maker.
Some time between 1821 and 1841 the family left Welwyn and moved about ten miles south-west to the town of St Albans. The 1841 census finds George and Sarah living at Spencer Street there, with their two youngest children.
Sarah died in 1846, aged 67. After her death, George continued to live at Spencer Street, appearing there in both the 1851 and 1861 censuses. He was described as a licensed victualler in 1861.
As an old man, George left St Albans and moved to Richmond in Surrey, to live with his eldest son William. George died at the age of 83 and was buried at Richmond on 12th November 1869. His burial gives his last address as "The Vineyard" in Richmond.[8]

- ↑ The baptism of their fourth child, Caroline Matilda, in 1821 gives her parents' names as John and Sarah rather than George and Sarah, but this appears to be an error. Her father's occupation on the baptism is given as rope maker, whilst no other baptisms for children of John and Sarah Dawson have been found in Welwyn at this time. Caroline appears with George and Sarah in the 1841 census, and when she married in 1845 in St Pancras she gave her father's name as "George Dawson, Licensed Victualler". Caroline subsequently appears in the 1851 census with her husband William Gardner in Westminster giving her place of birth as "Welwin".
- ↑ George's son William's wife Theresa was living at The Vineyard in the 1871 census, although William was not at home on census night.
