Robert Kearsley Dawson (1798-1861) was the son of Robert Dawson (1771-1860), a draughtsman with the Corps of Royal Military Surveyors and Draughtsmen, retiring in 1836. Robert Kearsley Dawson worked as a draughtsman for the Ordnance Survey on Scottish and Irish surveys under Major Colby before commencing the task of preparing a full set of county plates and borough plans of England and Wales, mostly based on new surveys. Parliament introduced The Reform Bill in 1831, reviewing the boundaries of the boroughs affected by the changes in the electoral process and this series of maps and plans were produced as the official record of those changes.
