please can someone see if they can find Alfred Dobson born approx 1844 in Limehouse, Stepney.  I would also like to know what his parents names were and if he had any siblings etc.

couldnt see the family in 1841.

1861 - it looks like Alfred is a Fisherman on a Vessel in the North Sea - called the 'Humility'; skippered by a Henry Parker from Kensington ...

Thank you for looking them up for me.  Could you find them in the 1861 census or had they gone.

I think Alfred has shown up in the Norfolk 1881 and 1891  census records.

Still wandering around in 1861 - theres no close match to the 1851 family group.

An Albert was a soldier in Farnborough, Hants.

No David, but a DANIEL and a WILLIAM of the right ages and Limehouse PoB show up with a married mother Mary - HEAD, Bricklayers wife ..... the lads are also bricklayers ...

I wonder if William's first wife Jm Elizabeth died and he remarried Mary.

Hi,

This entry is almost unreadable but have done my best, the Baker for William is clear though. Maybe he changed his occupation?

Hi Frances
Thank you for that, any info I get is worth it.  In the census records did you happen to see any other family members and if they married etc their wives.
I am not in a financial position to join any of the sites and being in NZ it is quite expensive.
Thanks Eileen
