The Lighter Side / Re: What is the biggest mystery in your tree?
« on: Sunday 25 June 17 22:42 BST (UK) »
My biggest mystery is what happened to Dobson Dodds. He was born in Cramlington about 1860; married Ann Carman in 1886 in Sunderland. They had five children that I know of. In 1883 he pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm and was sentenced to nine months hard labour.
I found him on the 1908 Electoral Register living in the Township of Denaby at 44 Braithwell Street and 13 Bambro Street.
On the 10th March 1906 he was sentenced one month in jail or payment of £4.0.1d Wife maintenance arrears. He was released on 9th April, 1906.
On 28th July 1906 he was again sentenced to one month in jail or payment of £6.19.1d Wife maintenance arrears. He was released on 27th August, 1906 and then disappears of the face of the earth.
One of his sons, in 1912, declared Dobson as being dead.
I can find no trace of Dobson's whereabouts or death after 1906. I wondered if he moved and changed his name so they wouldn't come after him again for Wife maintenance. His wife died in 1912.
I would dearly love to know what happened to Dobson Dodds.
