My Interests / Brick Walls - some temporary, some not -  need more info

ADDIS
James born St. John Bedwardine, Worcester married Joanna from Shrawley, Worcester.  Their children were born mostly in Claines, Worcester or Worcester, Worcester. Would like more info on Jame's ancestors. He was born in 1770, in my file I have his parens as John and Ann.

ALDRIDGE
Harriott married Joseph Walkley who most unfortunately (for me) died before the 1841 census. Harriott went on to marry again to William Jones.  I have her parents as John and Sarah. Harriott was born in Kings Stanley, Gloucester

AUSTI(E)N

William Austin born about 1842, Owston, Leicester
need birth certificate reference, none match him for that time period

BEALEY

Anne, married Thomas Shelton.  She was born abt 1795 in Nether Broughton, Leicester.

CARTER

William, born about 1821 in Severn Stock, Worcester.  Father was Joseph. William married Eliza Grigg (previously Eliza Fo(r)ster). Children were moslty born in Smethwick or West Bromwich, Stafford

DAWSON

Edward Dawson born abt 1736 in Castle Donnington (I think, although the parish register pages are so faded I couldn't verify). Burial says that he died in 1816 at the age of 79 years old - "Steward to the Earl of Moira". He married Lettice Ball in 1793 and had two children that I could find: James Dawson (1796) and Ann Dawson (1794).

James Dawson born abt 1796, Castle Donnington, Leicester
looking for ancestors, need to verify his wife's maiden name - "Yardley" is my guess.  He died in 1876 at the age of 80 years old in Wolverhampton, occupation "boatman".

John Dawson and family, they seem to have made a hobby of avoiding all censuses, finally found him on one (1861).  I think he died early, after 1872 but before the 1881 census but he had several children and they seem to have disappeared as well. They were all christened at St. Mary's, Wolverhampton, Stafford. They are:

Thomas Dawson (my ggggrandfather born abt 1863 in Wolverhampton, Stafford, also a boatman)

John (born 1860), Elizabeth (1858), Ellen & William (Twins 1861, they may have died in infancy), Edward (1865), Henry (1870), Alfred (1871) and Mary Ann (1872)
