1861: John and Faith DOBSON

[BassinghamTerrier]

Hi all.
I've tried for some years now to pin this one down, with no success. Can anyone locate this pair in the 1861 census for me, please?

John Dobson b. c1818 in Edinburgh
Faith Dobson (nee Chapman) b. April 1819 in Scalby, Scarborough, North Yorks.

Married 28th Jan 1845 in St. Mary's Hull
On the certificate they are both resident in Blanket Row, Hull; his father is John Dobson, clothier; hers is William Chapman, farmer; the marriage is witnessed by James and Ann Dobson.

In 1841 John and his father were lodging in the house of Richard Venables in Scott Lane, Doncaster, South Yorks. (HO107/1340 folio 39 page 13)
... whilst Faith was living in Lott’s Yard, Scarborough with brother(?) William (HO107/1266/7 Folio: 11 Page 18)

In 1851 they are  living at 12 St John Street, Scarborough, North Yorks. with two lodgers (HO107/2368 Folio: 144)

And by 1871 they are  living in Victoria Road, Scarborough (RG10/4816 folio 57 page 14)

I have NO IDEA where they were in 1861.

  Hi old friend, so your thoughts on the second one or is he a Roberts?

Whoa! I am now officially 'lost' with this thread!
Who are the Roberts family that is mentioned?
They're all Dobsons, except for Jane Longbottom Raw (who later married John William Dobson in 1871) and Rachel Farnaby who I don't know at all.

As for children in 1861, I can confirm that they had the following offspring who may or may not have been with them ...

• Edmund Dobson b. c1844 in Edinburgh (who is in Porter Street, Myton, Hull in 1861)
• John William Dobson b. 1848 in Scarborough
• Charles Henry Dobson b. 1850 in Scarborough (and you are correct, he DID die in 1853)
• Emily Ann Dobson b. 1852 in Scarborough
• Charles Dobson b. 1854 in Scarborough
• Horatio Albert Dobson b. 29 Dec 1861 in Scarborough (who was my g-grandfather and won't be with them in 1861)

Hope that helps.

  Hi MT so other than the Christian names of the parents and the surname for them all, could this be them or not?

What? The 1871 census list?
Yes, that's them most definitely.
