stephen st Neots Dobson b1831

[Jojopaz]

Am looking for any information on this person, born in St Neots Huntingdonshire.  In particular info on his parents and spouse(s)

Many thanks

FRee BMD has several possible marriages - looks like there are more than one person with this name around, unless he had several marriages and moved around a lot! What else do you know about 'your' one?

JAS 1859 Yarmouth Norfolk
OND 1871 Dover Kent
JFM 1862 Salford

[lizdb]

In 1851 he is a visitor in a household in Yorkshire, still single age 21
HO107 2281 678 15

[lizdb]

In 1861 he is a widower, and is in Pendleton Lancashire

So the 1859 marriage looks like his first

And the 1862 Salford (covers Pendleton) could well be a second

Only one Dobson baptism in St Neots, but that was in 1780.

There is, however, a marriage in St Neots in 1827 of Stephen Hagger Dobson and Mary Addington McKenzie who may, or may not, be connected

thank you both so much for this info... yes there is definitely supposed to be a Mackenzie link and one of his sons middle names is addington, the other is mackenzie so got to be his father who i know is stephen H dobson... this must be his mother!:-)   Thank you!!

apparantly family rumour has it that this 'Stephen st Neots Dobson' was supposed to be linked to Sir Morell Mackenzie (Born: July 7, 1837, Leytonstone Died: February 3, 1892, London)   I was actually told that he was a brother but this is definitely not so.  Am thinking his mother must be the link now, Mary Addington McKenzie, but am stuck!!  Perhaps she is a sister of Sir Morell's father, Stephen(1804-1853)?   

I know Stephen's parents are John Mackenzie (b1873)and Elizabeth Symonds (b1883)but can't find any other children of theirs.

Any help again gratefully received.
