Title: Tracing my Chester Dobson Ancestors
Post by: ANTO40 on Sunday 25 July 21 04:00 BST (UK)
Hi I'm trying to find decendants of my 4 X great grandparents THOMAS DOBSON (b. 1811 in Chester, Cheshire) & BARBARA DOBSON (nee DAVIES). I think the parents of Thomas are (GEORGE DOBSON & ELIZABETH MALLARD). My family also suffer from a rare hereditary disease called VARIEGATE PORPHYRIA and are the 2nd largest family in the entire UK to have it.

Where you aware Barbara was born in Ryddon,Flintshire ,Wales  1809 ?
they either had their children very late in life - or these are grandchildren ?

Looks like they had several children in Chester 1835 - 1857, including those posted on the census.

I note the baptism of Thomas mentioned in 1811, strange he never named any of his children George or Elizabeth but some of their children's names appear among those of Thomas & Barbara children.
