Notes for Laura Jane Westropp-Dawson
FreeBMD has two (or more) possible births:
Laura Jane Dawson, Q4 of 1856, Abingdon dist, vol 2c, p. 260
Laura Jane Dawson, Q3 of 1862, Walsingham dist, vol 4b, p. 277
There are no records for Westropp-Dawson.
No birth records on FreeBMD up to 1910.
The 1881 census has a Laura W Dawson in Cheltenham with her parents and siblings but she was b. in Ireland in c. 1863 so nothing more can be found. Her father on 1881 was Walter W Dawson which agrees with Burke. Wll the family had a second initial of W which could well be Westropp.
In the 1911 census she was clearly born in Ireland
