Title: Help with brick wall - DOBSON - Easington
Post by: cinetrish on Saturday 27 November 10 05:29 GMT (UK)

Mary DOBSON had 3 illegitimate children born in Easington. John b 1760 was my ancestor. He was christened in All Saints church.
I have been unable to find any information on Mary.
Would she have needed parish help & are there any records that exist?
John's father was never named, but she brought a bastardy case againgst William's father. William b 1762 was the son of William DUGGLEBY of Benningholme Grange. Skirlaugh.
John & Robert b 1768 were not William's sons.
I can't find any evidence of other DOBSON families living in the area.
How do I find Mary's birth & her parents names?
Without this information, I am well & truely stuck!!!!
