Find Ancestors

Seeking information regarding the DAWSON family who were millers, at both Walk Mill, near Hargrave, Cheshire and also Stapleford Mill, Foulk Stapleford, Cheshire.
William DAWSON (1837-1910) and his wife MARTHA TYDD / TIDD (1837-1912) milled there first, followed by their son WILLIAM DAWSON (1865-1944) and his wife SARAH HANNAH LYONS (1869-1935).
William and Sarah had a number of children of whom there must be many descendants.
Any information will be really appreciated.
