Marriage and or Baptism Look Up Please Elizabeth Dodson

[CCRAIL]

Hi, Yes thanks Jan

In my mind Henry and Charles were working on the same building (Site) as they were both bricklayers and after Charles death in 1839, Henry took to looking after Elizabeth and Charles' children.  Until at least Elizabeth became pregnant with Henry's 1st child, George, and they married a couple of years after George's birth.  They also had another 3 children, the last appears to have been when Elizabeth was about 45!

Of course it may not have been like that at all!

Thanks again

Hi David
Thanks yes i have that info.  Looks like it comes from the GRO record?  Do you have any extra info from the record, such as her original maiden name?

Thanks very much, all info is good.

Can I just throw another spanner in the works?

There is a tree on Ancestry that has this family, complete with the marriage of Elizabeth Dodson to Henry Hurst. However they have the first marriage as

Charles Dodson born 1795 Godstone to Elizabeth Taylor on 15th March 1815 in Godstone. However as Elizabeth doesn't give Godstone as her POB on censuses I'm not sure this is correct. I think the one we have found for a Dodson/Dodge marriage is more likely.

I think the only way you are going to know for certain is to get Henry and Elizabeth's marriage certificate.

Hi Jan

I had not seen that tree on Ancestry but had seen similar info elsewhere.  One of the reasons for trying to verify the info i have.

Being a retired engineer i like spanners, so no problem.  All my info currently points at Dodge rather than Taylor.  One of the things i need to check when i can get to the library is a ref in Ancestry (Found on a search, but i do not have a subscription) is for Frederick Dodson's baptism.  From other sources (FreeReg) I have these dates - Born 21/06/1837 and Baptised 16/07/1837.  But that record shows Frederick Dodson as dad and just Elizabeth as Mum.  The scant info you get on the free search seems to fit but of course you cannott see the detail behind.
The new year will see a visit to the library I think.

Merry Xmas to all and thanks for your assistance

I'm afraid that wont be of much help, it is a Bishop's Transcript and gives the parents as Charles and Elizabeth Dodson. She seems to be determined to keep her maiden name a secret.

Other children also baptised William 14/9/1828. Sarah 4/4/1830, George 11/3/1832, Henry 4/5/1834 and Walter 23/12/1835 - again parents just given as Charles and Elizabeth Dodson.

Happy Christmas
