DALBY/Hobson Elizabeth - COMPLETED with thanks

[annamaywong]

I am not sure what way around the above Surnames should be as the Lady was a Widow and re-married after travelling to Australia in the late 1850's.  She married a Crawford Mollison in the early 1860's in Sandhurst (now Bendigo).
It would appear that 3 Sisters travelled to Australia, Martha, Nina and Elizabeth, and one married a Bank Manager in Bendigo a Gordon Blair.  I have been unable to find any trace of them in England or when they travelled, any help would be appreciated.  Snezzy.

Just a quick line to thank Jubb, Ralen and Ennael for their help with the above research, if I could find out more details as posted on the Jamaican Board in respect of Elizabeth Fullarton - my cup would runneth over.  Thanks Anna

[ennael]

Anna, have you done a web search for this family?.
There is quite a lot of information available.

[annamaywong]

Thank you for your message Leanne, I have done some research on the English sites, however because I was not sure of the name Dalby/Hobson, it has made life somewhat difficult.  My initial aim was to  try and  find Crawford Mollisons
(1817/1893) Mother,  Elizabeth Fullarton who came from Jamaica.  She married a another Crawford Mollison in England in 1802.  Have been looking on Jamaica Family Search, but to no avail as yet,  Thank you for your help,  Anna

Dalby Hobson and Mollison

I have lately found this exchange on Rootschat, but don't really know what the original subject matter was or questions were!

Both the Hobsons, and to some extent the Dalbys, appear on my mother's family tree, and I have some unpublished information about the families. My mother, Eileen, was a Dalby Hobson before marrying my father.

Delighted to swap what information I have with whoever is wanting answers! I am not sure if I can answer questions about the Australian relatives, but I can trace the Hobson family quite a bit further, and a little about the Dalbys.

Please could someone update the URL for the Wills of Elizabeth and Crawford?
http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search_results.asp.  I get a "page not found" for this. 

Many thanks.
