Any relatives of maffikin dawson out there?

dont know if the first name is spelt right, but he was my granfathers nephew, and he was named after the battle known as the "relief of maffikin" he lived in newton heath manchester.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is spelled Mafeking, if you mean the Boer War.

There are 141 entries for people named after it on

but no Dawsons. The first 20 were born around 1900.

If you'd post your grandfather's name, spouse, birth and death date someone might be able to help you with him.
