Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: George Bohill
« on: Sunday 16 May 10 00:07 BST (UK)  »
Not an ancestor - George Bohill(s) was at one time a footballer for Bedlington and as part of a football research projest I am hoping to find more details about him.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / George Bohill
« on: Saturday 15 May 10 22:35 BST (UK)  »
George Bohill played football for Bedlington in 1912.
I have his birthplace as North Delaval.
Is there a district called North Delaval in Northumberland?
The nearest birth registrations I have are George Bohill b.Newcastle S1889
and George Bohills b.Tynemouth D1890.
Thanks

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Dorrington of Whittlesey

Thanks Welsh Lady - the fathers name was John Dorrington.
My guess is that he started off with another name and for some reason became John Dorrington later on.
But this is just a hunch.

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Dorrington of Whittlesey
« on: Saturday 15 May 10 13:57 BST (UK)  »
John Dorrington was born in Whittlesea according to the census of 1891 (Grantham) and 1901 (Sheffield)
He was born about 1853 (+/- 3 years)
He died in Sheffield in 1910, age given as 58.

Unable to find any reference to his birth or his first marriage.(Only know he was married twice as he is listed as a widower on his second mariage certificate)
Not found him on the censuses of 1861/71/81.

He named his two eldest daughters Vida and Andalusia (born 1889, 1891)  - unusual names - wsas there a connection between Whittlesey and Spain in the 1860/70's

Thanks.
