Quite like Scarisbrick - nice village and a great pub The Scarisbrick Arms - my dad was evacuated during WW2 to a doctors house in Little Aughton - so we regularly visited Aughton / Scarisbrick in the summer months - I live about 15 - 20 miles away - next time I am in the Scarisbrick Arms I will ask about the Dobson family - you never know
might sound daft - but you can contact them online

It is probably worth your while to contact the Ormskirk & District Family History Society. The Members Interests section of their website lists a few Dobsons.
