Dorcas Brooks/Utting. Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England.
« on: Saturday 28 February 15 22:07 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for any information on my 4x great grandmother, Dorcas Brooks. I believe that she was born in Gt yarmouth, Norfolk, England around 1790, but I'm not sure of the exact date. I believe she married a man named Robert LeNeve Utting who was May 4x great grandfather. He was possibly born in Gt Yarmouth also, but I don't know. They had my 3rd great grandfather named LeNeve Utting. Born in Gt Yarmouth. I'd love to find out more about Dorcas Brooks if it's at all possible. I'm finding it incredibly difficult! :)

Where did the year of birth of 1790 come from?

When and where did she marry?
When was LeNEve born - did they have other children, especially older ones, as that would give more of a clue as to when they married.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

I think she married 28 Jan, 1815, Yarmouth St Nicholas. The birth date was from a record hint on ancestry, but it could be wrong? I'm really not sure. I think they had a daughter also called Dorcas and another possibly called Emily, but sadly I don't know that much more :/

Yes I believe this is them as the name Dove has came up somewhere before :) you said Dorcas was noted as a widow, what does this mean? I'm sorry if I sound stupid, but this all gets incredibly confusing! :P

Maybe her husband is still alive.

Re the name Dove, it appears that Dorcas had a daughter Mary (sister to LeNeve, Dorcas and Emily) who has married a Mr Dove, who is a fisherman and probably out on his boat on census night.
