Hi Gill

I'm sorry I don't have him on my tree but I met up with other Dobsons at Ellerburn last year so will contact them and see if anyone can help.

I am descended through William Dobson and Jane Frank's daughter Betty.

I don't live too far from Ellerburne so if you do decide to do the obelisk, I might be able to come across and give you a hand.

Hi Gazania

I have tried that and spoken to the Vicar as well to see what he knows - he knew nothing about the memorial.

Hi Dobo

No still trying to trace him.  I'm sure he went to the USA! 

How are you descended?

I'm still a little confused over Charles Parentage.  Is it Thomas and Ann who is also known as Sarah and if so what was her maiden name?  Are there any marriage details?

Sorry to ask again but I wondered if anyone had access to Hinckley marriages prior to 1837.  I am looking for the marriage of Charles Petty and Mary ?.  Their first child was born in 1836 so probably just before this.  Charles was born in Atherstone in Warwickshire and was a hatter but I have no information on Mary except that she was on the 1841 census in Hinckley with Charles and their two children Mary aged 5 and Caroline aged 2.  It does note that Charles wasn't born in Leicestershire but the others were.  Ref HO 107/601/6 page 15.

Hi everyone and thanks for all the help. 

I have to say that this branch of my tree, I've only started working on since Friday so I am awaiting certificates for the more recent events but just thought I'd try my luck and push on a bit further with a bit of educated guesswork initially until things were confirmed. 

The 1841 census (HO 107/601/6 page 15) started me off as Caroline Petty is listed aged 2 with Mary aged 5, Mary aged 25 and Charles aged 25.  This is in Hinckley Leicestershire and she later went on to marry John Petty at least 25 years her senior.  The marriage only lasted 3 years before he popped his clogs and she went on to marry Thomas Smith.  I do wonder if Charles Petty and Mary married in Hinckley or in Atherstone.  Perhaps that is why there is a problem finding a marriage.  I'll ask on the Leicestershire board as they have been very helpful too.

Anyway on the 1851 census she is living in Atherstone with her father Charles (widower) aged 35, and what I assumed (maybe wrongly) her grandparents (Thomas and Ann Petty) as Charles is listed as "son" (HO107/2064/271 pg 32).

I suppose that Ann may not be Charles mother and that his father remarried at some point. 

I think the trail continues .......
