THE DIXON FAMILY
DIXON FAMILY - where did they come from??????
|
|
George Dixon - m. Mary ROBSON
Other children - Harry, Mary, 1 other daughter(?)
Lived in 25 Tyne Street, Benwell, near Newcastle upon Tyne, in 1899, but known
to have been at that address for only three years or so. A recent
look at the 1881 census CD has given us the idea that perhaps both George and/or
Mary might have been brought up in Benwell - but, without a bit more research,
that is a bit of a shot in the dark!!
The family is believed to have been living in Gateshead around 1920.
This is the sticking point of our Family Tree search!
Can anyone help? Anyone lost a Dixon family member around this time (see below)?
If you can help, I'd love to hear from you. Please e-mail me.

George Thomas Dixon - m. Lillian Evelyn Black
b. Benwell, England 1899 - d. Limerick, Ireland 1972
George Thomas Dixon ran away from home, lied about his age, and joined the Army - serving at the Somme and subsequently
being posted to Ireland. Having upset his family once, he did it again by becoming engaged to an Irish colleen. His
family tried to drag him away from his army posting in Ireland but failed and the marriage went ahead - he then lost all
contact with his family, a situation which continued, despite searching by his son and daughter, until his death. The search
for this missing family link continues!
