Liddle DOBSON

[Noreen Rose]

Liddle DOBSON bn Thornley 1870 Married Jane GRAYDON bn 1873 Trimdon  1897 Qtr Easington.  They had several children and emigrated to Australia.  I know they had a son named Graydon DOBSON.  I am trying to find children born before they left.  I am also trying to find Liddle DOBSON's parents marriage.  The mother's christian name is a puzzle!! 

Could anyone kindly find them in an earlier census as I have found a marriage of Thos DOBSON/John ATKINSON and Isabell STATHAM Sunderland June Qtr 1856 on Free BMD?  My mother Nora GRAYDON, Bn 1903 told me she remembered waving them off when they left Trimdon.

looking at the 1881 original page, I'd say the wife / mother was Isabella
The daughter also called Isabella is another plus point ...

Thomas Dobson 25  Head Butcher Thornley
Isabella Dobson 23  Wife do

Thomas Dobson 8  son do

Thomas jnr is clearly 8 on the original page   

So is that 1856 marriage correct, or did Isabella bring a son to the marriage .... or was Thomas previously married ?

Or was he in fact 8 MONTHS old - see 1871 listing

ref Liddle & Jane, heres the family in 1901 - to find further kids you'd have to trawl the BMD Indices - and sadly, before 1911, mothers maiden name isnt shown.

Thank you so much for helping me with this.   I never expected to progress so far after this one query.  You are a star!!

I had some research on the DOBSON's but my son deleted all my Family Tree Maker by accident.  He was upgrading my computer!!  After a few months, I decided to try to put it all back and purchased Version 16 of Family Tree Maker.

Thank you for your help I am very grateful.

I forgot to say thank you as you for finding an extra child Thomas.  I agree, who must have been 8 months in 1861.  I know a descendant lives in Melbourne so I might be able to get further information from her.   

I did have the name Gabbella in my Family Tree as it is on my 1881 disks and also on the Family History site which I have altered to Isabella.

Thank you again

Noreen,

This might be him: Thomas Dobson, b. 3q 1860, Easington 10a 299. A birth in this quarter of 1860 would make him about 8 months at the time of the census.

Thank you very much for this Jennifer, I will apply for the birth certificate to check whether the parents were married then.

You are all so very helpful on this wonderful web site!!  As a pensioner it is very much appreciated by me.
