Daughter of William Hancock Styles and his wife Harriott Smith, Harriott Heywood married Gilbert Francis Dawson Nov. 24, 1841, in Wanganui, New Zealand.
In addition to being the step-mother of Gilbert's two children by his first wife, she was the mother of nine children by him. They were: Anne Marguerite Dawson, born 1842 in New Zealand; Ellen Dawson born 1844 in Ireland; Augustine Rawlins Dawson born 1846 in Gravesend; Llewelyn Styles Dawson, born 1848 in Llanelly, Wales; Harry Percy Gilbert Dawson, born 1850 in Llanelly, Wales; Edward Harrison Dawson, born 1851 in Llanelly, Wales; Sidney Phillips Dawson, born 1851 in Llanelly, Wales; Fanny Mary Dawson, born 1854 in Llanelly, Wales; Katherine Charlotte Dawson, born 1857 in Llanelly, Wales.
The family returned to the South of England circa 1860. The 1861 census shows Harriot Heywood's mother, Harriot Styles, living with them in Dartford, Kent. In 1871 they were in Eastbourne, and lived out the remainder of their retirement there. One last note of interest... in 1878, Mary Sophia Dawson (nee Roosmale-Cocq), the wife of Harriott and Gilbert's son Augustine Rawlins, was in London with their two children, Winifred Templer Dawson, age 3, and Arthur H. G. Dawson, age 1. She was pregnant with their third child. Augustine Rawlins remained at home in Ceylon. On March 7, 1878, Mary Sophia died in hospital, likely giving birth to Mary E Dawson. Harriott , at the age of 62, took in these three kids, and raised them as her own. In the 1891 census, the 3 kids can still be found still living with 3 of Harriott's daughters. The eldest Winifred, became a nurse, and worked, and married, in Calcutta, India. Arthur became a Survyor, and spent his whole working career in Ceylon, retiring as Surveyor General of Ceylon.
