The IGI says he married Elizabeth HARRADIN at Bourn on 26 Nov 1810. Bourn PR transcript describes them as bachelor and spinster and spells their names DOCWRA and HARRADINE.

In the 1851 census in Bourn he was 61 born Bassingbourn, Cambs

thanks so much david.. Im very new at all this and really appreciate you looking that up for me. I am unsure of the correct spelling or which name is right.. im not even sure what the IGI is?

I can't find his baptism at the moment but am wondering if this might be a transcription error - JAVIS Docwra baptised at Bassingbourn 27 July 1788, same day as Miriam Docwra, children of Daniel and Kesiah.

Hi Jaxy

The IGI can be found at www.familysearch.org. and is invaluable. Entries marked in the messages box as being extracted are reliable. Beware of entries "Record submitted by a member of the LDS Church" as these can be very unreliable.

The 1851 census reads
Well Lane Bourn, Cambs
Jabez Docwra head marr 61 ag lab b Bassingbourn (transcribed by Ancestry as Bafungbocaer - the B's were right, but not much else!)
Elizabeth Docwra wife 60 laundress b Bourn
Ann Howard Harradine widow 90 annuitant b Bourn

Good spot Selina, that looks like Jabez to me - the vicar spelled it the way he heard it!

Found him in the 1841 - transcribed as Jares Doersam!!  To be fair that is what his forename looks like and actually may have been Javis as in the baptism.  It certainly does not have a b in it.  Also with the surname - Docr is clear but the rest of the word is a mess so can't really blame the transcriber this time!

Caxton End, Bourn (HO 107/68/1)
Javis   Ag Lab 50
Elizabeth  50
Daniel 14
Anne Haradine 82

All born in County.

Lucky that Anne Haradine was with them and also think that having a son Daniel helps to confirm the baptism in 1788.

Marriage at Guilden Morden 2 May 1774
Daniel Dockwra bac of Bassingbourn
Kezia Masters sp otp
Witnesses: James Simpson and Thomas Masters.

Banns were called at Bassingbourn but contain no more information.

Keziah wife of Daniel was buried at Bassingbourn 29 May 1793.

There are three burials that could relate to Daniel so need to look at them a bit more.

Baptism possibilities:

Daniell Docwra baptised at Bassingbourn 19 April 1752 son of Daniell and Jackaminea.

Kezia Masters baptised at Guilden Morden 25 September 1757 daughter of Edward and Jemima.

Now I have come to a standstill - there are probably quite a few siblings of each generation.
