Lamb, W. A. & Dawson, M. J. Marriage

PARENTS


Martha Jane is recorded in the records of the Wesleyan Methodist Congregation in the Circuit of Beauharnois, as the daughter of Edward Dawson, yeoman of Hinchinbrooke, and Susanne Fennell, born 10 Jul 1857 and christened, 23 Aug 1857.  Minister, W Hansford and witness, Mary M Winter.  This is from Microfilm Reel M333-8 Image 148, of the records of the Protestant Churches of the District of Beauharnois.
        There are two Fennell baptisms on the same reel, Robert, Image 135 in 1856 and William, Image 149 in 1857, but I do not have the details.  The latter was probably on the same day as Martha Jane's.

The 1891 Census shows William still living at home with his parents, his brother Samuel, and his sister-in-law Janet.
William married Martha and lived on a farm in Franklin Township.  I have speculated that it was part of Lot 50, Concession 1, the Gamble Farm, about 3/4 mile west of the Lamb home farm on Covey Hill Road.
William was still in Franklin Centre on 18 JA 1899 as church records show that he & his wife wittnessed the baptism of their youngest known son, William Edward.
Apparently, due to financial difficulities, William & his family moved to Western Canada. This would have taken place before the 31 MR 1901 Census as they are not noted in these Franklin Twp. records.  Possibly he settled near Livelong, Saskatchewan. which is about 55 miles slightly north-of-east of Lloydminster.  Franklin Centre Methodist Church Records show that they had at least 4 children before leaving the area. My father said he chewed tobacco & that he had the trade of a brick-layer/stone mason.
