Looking for the family of William Dolby, innkeeper of the Royal Oak at Sawtry in 1809. By 1841, Josiah (sometimes known as Joseph) Dann was innkeeper. Trying to find out if there was a Dolby/Dann link via marriage or family. Help!!!! 
Thanks everyone!

There's no Dann-Dolby marriage on Hunts Marriage Index, which goes up to 1837

Thanks David - it was a bit of a long shot on the Dann/Dolby marriage. Am now wondering if Wm Dolby was related BY marriage. There is an Ann Dolby and also a Martha Dolby of possibly same or next generation (born late 1700s to early 1800s?) Josiah(or Joseph) Dann married Mary Emere (or Emery) in 1814 @ Sawtry All Saints - his first marriage. May be looking for an EMERE(Y)/DOLBY marriage? Or any Dolby.....
Hope you can dig something up...I did my time at the records office in 2007 and have pages and pages of notes but not this frustrating Dolby connection - a bit hard for me all the way from Australia!
Thanks heaps! cheers, L

Have you any evidence or suggestion that there might be a connection?
I cant think of any reason on the face of it why there should necessarily be any connection between the innkeper in 1841 and the innkeeper who was there in 1809.

The Dann/Dolby connection is important to me as members of the Dolby family sometimes appear with my Dann lot on the Sawtry censuses, in Josiah Dann's will and as witnesses to death certificates over the years. Employer, employee, friend or family - I have no idea. As one does, when faced with a brick wall - I'm just trying to fill in that big bit of the puzzle that will hopefully take me back another generation. Perhaps one of the Dolby's was a sister to my Josiah? Perhaps the Dolby's looked kindly on him and passed on the pub? Or perhaps...just sheer coincidence.
I can see every good reason to follow this connection! 
cheers all, L

You might have to look at other papers or guess at likely connection and follow through.
For example the owners of Connington Castle where my family worked from 1818 were named Heathcote.
Later I found one of the daughters married at a certain address in London. By tracking the Heathcote family I found that the address was the London townhouse of the family. Within a few months the newly marrieds had sailed to New York and then moved to Canada- again it seemed that the there was a Heathcote connection.
There were many other connections.
So with only circumstantial "evidence" I can safely say that the Heathcotes "looked after" my family employing them in various locations over at least 3 generations.
A bit of a pain but if you want answers you might have to track the Dolby family as well as your own! Look for the Dann and Dolby names on the Cambridge as well as Hunts sites. Is there any indication from censii that any of the folk had a connection to another County?
Good luck

There's no Emery Dolby marriage either.
David, in France which is just as hard, or easy, to research from as from Australia
