Some info that may be of use - if you search the trade directories on my website www.picturespennymoor.co.uk for dobbie I think your ancestor is listed.
The listing mentions a Robert Dobbie who was a grocer in Weardale Street. The shop still exists (it's a craft shop now). It's on a corner at the top of a bank which has always been know locally as "Dobbies bank" ...!
