I cant find her mother - Lincolnshire

[clairenorman39]

Well, Ive been busy looking for the mysterious Dorothy Horstired/Hoshead or whatever variation there may have been.
No luck. I cant find her at all.
I wonder whose child she was?
I cant find a death or marriage for her either.
Her name could have been different and the enumerator just didnt ask??/

what date have you got for Dorothy

Born 1845 Lincolnshire and appears in the 1851 census and then vanishes and my Dorothy Robinson appears!
There is no record of my Dororthy Robinsons birth but there is of Dorothy Hostireds!!!

I have done a full search omitting the name Dorothy in Case it was a middle name using the father Fredrick although there is many births in Lincon with a father Fredrick various mothers  there is non around 1840s that would fit  also searched out of County for Dorothy but again nothing it looks like Dorothy is a name used by the Robinsons in previous generations

This one is driving me mad. I wish I could just find Frederick in 1851 census or Dorothy.
I wonder who Dorothy Hostheads parents were?

Thanks Audrey for helping.

[audrey]

sorry but the last Hosthead on hear in Lincon is 1837

Can this Dorothy Hostead or variation really be Dorothy Robinson?
It seems a long shot but I will keep investigating it.
Maybe I should order her birth certificate even if just to rule it out. If it doesnt name the father at all then I may be on to something. If it does then bingo anyway and if it names someone else - at least it rules this Dorothy out.

I have just looked at Lincolnshire Archives page and see there are no records for Gainsborough. Do you think this is because they havent been released by the churches?
What can I do ?
