Dollman/Parmeter 1841 & 1851 Census - COMPLETED

[SASHAR]

Hi Jorose,
Thankyou for sending the site re John Hood, looks as though he came to Aust. c1868.  On his marriage in Adelaide, it says his father is Samuel Hood.
Where he had his galleries is the same area that his  children were born.
I might see if I can follow his trail in Sydney, the last child I have found b. in SA was in 1887.

It didn't say on the 1861 Census what John's occupation was?
You might not be able to read it.
Thanks for your interesting find - regards,  Sashar

Just found a site that says John HOOD was born c1839 Reading, Berkshire, England, and died 15th May 1924 Sydney.
According to his marriage in SA he should have been b.c1842 and it also states he was a Widower.

If he came to Aust. c1868, he would only be on 1841,1851 & 1861 Cenus.  His father should be Samuel.

Could that make finding him any easier?
Regards,  Sashar

I have now found John HOOD'S 1st marriage and that was also in Adelaide, to Mary Martha HUBBE in 1871.  They had 4 children, and their names match with what was written in the website entry sent by Jorose i.e.  Samuel, William, John & Thomas.
All the dots are connecting well - thankyou Jorose.

Mary Martha died 1881 and he married Ruth DOLLMAN in 1882.  So now I am positive we are chasing the correct John HOOD, Photographer/Artist, supposedly born Reading Berkshire 1839.  There seems to be some discrepancy with his age as on his lst marriage it makes him b.c1841 and 2nd marriage, b.c.1842.

I've veered off the Dollman track a bit but this has been an interesting find - anything else is a bonus, thanks,  Sashar

I found the will of william parmeter dollman in the national archives on the PROV site. I am tracing Charles Dollman from Birmingham who came to melbourne in 1870. He was a wine merchant. Is there a connection between the two families. If you want details of the will, let me know.

Hi Jess,
William Parmeter Dollman was born 1846 StGeorge Han Sq and died 1908 Nth Adelaide.   Parents were Charles John Dollman and Eliza Harriett nee Parmeter.
William Dollman married Jessie Sparkes YEATES 1894 Hobart, Tasmania and they had a daughter Jessie born 1895 in Nth Adelaide.  Unfortunately both wife and baby died a few days after childbirth.   I don't have anything further on William Parmeter Dollman, so details in a will may reveal further information, I would love to accept your kind offer.
Birthplaces of Dollmans in my tree have been, Westminster Middlesex, London & Surrey.    I'm not sure when the Dollmans came to Australia, but the first Dollman birth in Sth Australia was 1854.   I only have 2 Charles Dollman's in my tree and neither would suit being in melbourne in 1870.
You can PM me with will details if you wish.
Kind regards,
Sashar

Hello regarding Parmeter/Dollman,

I am researching my husband's family and I have found a Dr Thomas Parmeter who was sent to Australia for bigamy. His parents were William Parmeter and Elizabeth Dallman.  With the similar surnames of Dollman I was wondering if you felt there is a connection.  I have done many sides of my family tree however only just started this side because my husband's elderly family really didn't want to to know the truth, so I didn't go anywhere with this line.

I am in NSW and if you think there maybe a connection please contact me.  Thomas was transported to Australia ine 1816 on the the ship Fanny.  He was a surgeon and I have read had a twin brother named Francis, but we know little else about his life in England except the marriages.

Hi Maree,

William George b.c1818
Francis John b.1819

Kind regards,

Hello,
I have just started to look into this line of the family but the fact that Eliza was born in Gosport and so was Thomas so I will keep digging and will give you any information I find.

Thanking you

Hi,

I am direct descendant of Charles John Dollman and Eliza Parmeter (great great grandson).  I have in my possession the family bible which details the family history, as well as photographs, documents, etc.  Happy to answer any specific questions.  I also have considerable information on related branches and connected families.  The Birmingham Dollmans are not related.
