I'm looking for anyone with information on an Edward Daw who was born in England, probably Cornwall, around Sep 1832. He married a Catherine Divine in Boston. Their son, John A. Daw was my GG and his daughter, Millie Leoni Daw was my grandmother. John A. Daw was born in San Francisco. From the California voter registration of 1900, there is an Edward Prentiss Daw who is was 27 and shown at the same address as the 68 year old Edward Daw

Have you also looked in Kent for John Daw.My DAW family are from Marden in Kent.

Not yet. Thanks.

I am having a problem with my Daw family but my g/g/grandmother Mary daw was born in Marden ,Kent 1810-11.
Her parents were Ambrose Daw & Martha Swan.
When looking for the Daw line here i suggest you look all around the Ashford,Kent area as they were known for moving around working the land.

Thank you.

Can you prove Catharine Divine is the wife of Edward Daw? I have no maiden name for the Catharine I am seeking.

I am looking for an Edward C Daw whose wife, Catherine C. was born in MA around 1863. They came to San Francisco. One child was Elizabeth J or Elizabeth Amelda, also known as Lizzie, my great grandmother. She was born around 1871 according to the 1880 census. Catharine (I think that is the right spelling) and Edward had at least 5 children including a son, John A Daw, listed in the 1880 census. Catherine died in 1881, as best as I can tell, but have yet to prove. The date is supposed to be 2 November 1881, but I have not proven.

I can trace Edward C. Daw to his death in 1905 in Marin County. I can not prove that Catharine Divine was his wife, but am sure trying. Lizzie had lots of troubles. I know one person alive who knew her, but this person is a bit addled.
