Hi Karen,
You would be best to start this as a new thread if you are looking for information. A moderator will do this if you just click on the 'report to moderator' link.
Censuses show few Dobson in Aughton so it would be best if you gave a time range.
Where did you find your information?
What kind of information are you looking for?
Regards
Heywood

Mostly from newspaper archive and census. I kept reading about 3rd generation breeders in the Preston cronicle. Did a bit of research and it tied in with my Dobsons. Thanks for the advice.... I'm heading up there in a few weeks and hope to do some old fashioned hands on research.. bit difficult doing it from kent :)

Hi Karen,
As mentioned above by Heywood, you need to start new threads, one for the Dobsons and another for the Turners.
Try to give any names and dates that you already know.

John James joseph William Henry .. will get back with more info. But it's just a general enquiry to see if anyone has more interesting information.
-
Have you looked at LancashireOPC
http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html
-
Yup for many years
-
Repeating what I said on your Turner thread - same applies here - - If your more specific with names, dates and details of what you already have then people can help more - rather than duplicate what you might already have.

As I've repeated before.. I am asking for stories or information on them specific to the area.. I've been doing this for a long time. It's not really relevant on dates or specific names .. I thought this site was about family history .. if I wanted spacific I would have posted in the appropriate forums. If this isn't allowed by you then delete it. I apologise and will go on to other sites. I've been researching Hong my family history since 2001. While I am no expert .. I most likely have the dates and relevant info.. I'm interested in the stated names whether related or not

Have you looked on the surnames interest list on this site?

Hello Karen,
I have now split off your post to create a new one for you own research.
Regards
Sarah :)

Hiya Karen
is it possible Shaw Farm became this ?
Shaw Hall Caravan Park
Ormskirk L40 8HJ
if it is possible it looks like 2 brothers named Hill run the Park - maybe they know a little bit of history ??
it does have a website
ADDED
forget that - Higher Shaw Farm is still there according to this map

Found a Josh Dobson - born 1853 Scarisbrick,Ormskirk who is a Horse Groomer in 1871 census in Ormskirk - aged 18 - is he one of yours ??
-
Yup :)

Quite like Scarisbrick - nice village and a great pub The Scarisbrick Arms - my dad was evacuated during WW2 to a doctors house in Little Aughton - so we regularly visited Aughton / Scarisbrick in the summer months - I live about 15 - 20 miles away - next time I am in the Scarisbrick Arms I will ask about the Dobson family - you never know
might sound daft - but you can contact them online
http://www.thenewscarisbrickarms.co.uk/contact/

I'm in kent and heading up there at the end of the month. I still have family there and still very close

It is probably worth your while to contact the Ormskirk & District Family History Society. The Members Interests section of their website lists a few Dobsons.
