Thanks Harddrive. But that's a different Charles Lawson.

Clues are, this one emigrated to Australia in the very early 1800's. He moved to Bombala/Monaro district of New South Wales. This is in the southern area near State of Victoria. He set up a twenty six square mile farm called Craigie - The name suggests he was from Scotland, but there are Craigie this and Craigie that all over the UK, so who knows. He had a son born in 1836 called John James Lawson who latter married Elanore Makin Smith in St Stephen's Church, in Newtown Sydney, NSW on 21 September 1871.

I'm curious to know in more detail where he is actually from and on what date/ship did he arrive on.
