Title: James Dodds
Post by: lizzieann on Sunday 09 December 12 20:24 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find the parents of James Dodds - born Morpeth 1837; he married Dorothy Dodds & had a son John Singlewood Doods born 1859;
The family moved to Willington, Co Durham where John was born.
My maiden name was Singlewood but there is some family confusion as to when this name was accepted and Dodds not used!
Anyone with this in their family?

Freebmd shows he married Dorothy Singlewood in 1860

John was born 1859 as John Singlewood as per freebmd

Here's his christening from the IGI

I think Claire has the baptism

In 1841 and 1851 James is living with his grandmother Ann Dodds.

The marriage certificate should confirm if his father is Robert Dodds, a mason - the trade james also followed
