Re Cornwell Dawes research -
William DAW/DAWS/ DAWES (b. 1834) was one of many young Cornish men who sailed as bounty emigrants to Sydney per the ship “Herefordshire” arriving 27 May 1857. Described as farm labourer, CofE, R&W, his father was Benjamin (son of Thomas & Sarah) and mother Catherine Bate/Beat of Kea Parish (Cowlands/Cowlings/Cownance), near Truro, Cornwall.
William, after two years in Australia, married Mary Ann Flanagan in 1859 at Yass, NSW.

William’s siblings remaining in Cornwall comprised -
Ann (b.1827),
George (b.1830, m. Elizabeth Burrows),
Ann Elizabeth (b.1831, m. ? Fisher),
John (1839),
Ellen (1843) and
Jane (1846).
Contact has been made with a descendant of George.
Any connection?
