DIXON RALPH — 1860 1860 Deaths & burials Berwick, Northumberland, England




Lots of trees on ancestry with this family on. All but one have this for Ralph. Looks like they've all copied each other.




Ralph Dixon
Birth 30 Aug 1825 in Gateshead, Durham, England
Death 1891 in Gateshead, Durham, Tyne Wear, England

There is no proof for this on any of them so do NOT take this as definite. Diana has said she is a widow but I suppose he could have left her and she is just saving face.

i do think he probably died before 1861.




Only one tree has this




Ralph Dixon
Birth 30 Aug 1825 in Gateshead, Durham, England
Death bef 1871

Team I cant locate this family in the 1861 Census

I have them in 1851 1871 Then have followed Phillip and his family all the way to 1911 census. But just cant locate in 1861. Robert is my many times removed great grandfather.

If anyone wants to have a look that would be great. Thanks
