That seems to be the problem. The book you have is the same as mine. Peter (alive and well in New Zealand) reprinted this book which was published circa 1796. PRONI has a document dated 1794. I don't known if it had more info. The claim is that more then 15,000 people filed claims which Dobbs had to review and whittle down to the actual families. It is that paperwork that is missing.
   Also- your Orr Pedigree makes the Blair claim from the Ulster Inquests not Dobbs Report. Did you find that info?

Sorry for coming in so late (thanks Linde ;) but Hallmark I had a few questions.
  You said what you found at the National Library in Dublin was the "report done by Dobbs". The Dobbs Report (reprint 2019 by Peter Hutchinson) is a 103 page book which currently includes 3,613 people in a Gedcom. 9 pages of material can not be the report.
  However, the actual "Report" also does not include any of the information you showed on the one page (Roger Hall married Christian Poyntz). The report has no dates, few locations and fewer titles which makes the modern genealogy difficult. It appears to me you may have found some of Dobbs' notes on his work. Since no one seems to know where those notes are located, you may have an important segment at the National Library. Is this possible?
