       and/    Horace Dodman abt 1810 could be Norfolk

Or any DODMAN'S in these two areas.

Hi Gail

The closest I've found is Horace Dodman - tailor b1832 in Aylsham Norfolk in the 1851 census.  Son of James (b1803) a carpenter, shown as married but with no wife in residence.  Several siblings. [HO107/1810/407/37]

Hi:
Thanks, but, I think that what I need is to find Henry George Dodman born about 1834 married Elizabeth S. Langham Born about 1836.  And find out for sure who his father was, I have someone speculate that Horace could be him.
So I guess that the 1841 or 1851 would have Henry at home still somewhere.
But I do wonder if they came from Norfolk.
Thanks again for your work.

Sorry, no luck with Horace at all.  I fared much better with Henry with the extra information you gave.

1861 census [RG9/139/68/76]
Islington, Finsbury

Henry Dodman, head, mar, 25 (b c1836), Stable man, born Sibel, Essex
Elizabeth S Dodman, wife, mar, 20 (b c1841),, born Thetford, Norfolk
Henry Dodman, son, 4
Ann Dodman, daughter, 1

1851 census [HO107/1784/430/8]
Sibel Hedingham, Essex, Swan Street

Susannah Dodman, wife, mar, 48 (b c1809), unreadable profession followed by pauper in brackets
Henry, son, 15, errand boy
Thomas, son, 12
Maria (I think - the handwriting is difficult), daughter, 7

I can find no trace of Dodman senior in Sibel, or in Essex for that matter.  There are several candidates of about the right age in Norfolk - it does seem to be a more common name in Norfolk than anywhere else.

The best bet for finding the fathers name is from the birth certificates of the children:

Maria, Dec 1843, Halstead, v 12 p 115
Thomas, Sep 1838, Halstead, v 12 p 104

I don't have access to the 1841 census.  Perhaps someone else could check that for you.

Regards
