Hi Liz,I have a sneeky Feeling The Name Daw Originated Not in Sussex But Devon Or Cornwall Or Somerset .In the National Archives There are Wills Available.For the surname Daw.I have added these To show you.I Cant find Aaron at present there before his birth date.It does not Give parents.One Suggestion If you have the Church.That Aaron Jr Was Baptised in They may Have further details.Or will know Where to Get them.I noticed there Were a lot of Daws Family In Somerset or Cornwall.So its possible that Aarons Family May originally Have travelled to Sussex to live.

Only way to get info Before 1837 is by Bishops Transcripts.Most of these are held in the Brighton Archives.But as you can see by the first Listing of Elizabeth Daw they were in Sussex Around 1710.I have Checked Wills For Aaron Daw Sussex And There is Nothing.So of the poorer Class.If of the Gentry or Gentlemen OF Sussex ,Im sure there would Have been a will.Please Check Links i sent as One has some Early Daws From Sussex

Administration letter of Nicholas Daw, Yeoman of Herstmonceux, Sussex. Proved in the Court of Chichester.  July 20 1802

Mike,  Yes I know there are few people trying to trace his parents and I know it is rather unlikely that we will ever find them but you never know

We have been in touch with the records office in Sussex and they had some family details but nothing about Aarons birth

As it is so early maybe the parents names were not even recorded or the birth registered

He married in the church of St Peter and St Paul in Peasmarsh and I contacted them a few years ago but heard nothing back.  I have a photo of this wonderful old church which I believe is still there.

I will check out those links but a couple of them I have already been in contact already

Appreciate your help very much..........Liz

Mike,  Have just found that my mother has a copy of Aaron DAW (es) will.   From memory I think he died c. 1822

 

I am starting to think that a 1748 birth would have had very little info listed in sussex in those times so I think that we are not going to find his parents names as they are not mentioned in any bdm certificates for the family

 

thanks.............Liz

Hi Liz you Maybe Right,I have Seen a lot of Bishops Transcripts.Most Just Have two Witnesses.And of course that does not really help.But you never Know you May fall lucky

Hi Liz,

          I was surprised to see your surname was Allen and was wondering whether it is this side of your family which is connected to Aaron Dawes. My Allens are also supposed to be connected to the Dawes family.

 

Kind regards, Warren

Warren,  When I checked this board the message had not been posted but I have in the meantime answered you by e mail in reply to the e mail you sent me

Was wondering how you got my e mail address as it is not listed on this site

Not very often does someone from this family pop up so I will try and help you if I can

Liz
