John Dorrington
« on: Saturday 15 October 16 22:50 BST (UK) »
John Dorrington was born in Whittlesey (Whittlesea) England in 1852.

May have emigrated to Canada - got married - but he was back in England by 1888.

How can I check this out?
Thanks

The England and Wales Marriages database at Ancestry has a marriage for a John Dorrington (son of James Dorrington) and Amy Thomason (daughter of Thomas Thomason) on 26 Dec 1885 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Could this be your man?

Reference passenger lists dating from 1878 to 1888 and 1890 to 1960  Many of the pre-1890 lists were apparently irregularly destroyed by the Board of Trade in 1900.  Therefore, there are not many lists included in the databases that date from these earlier years so not surprising nothing is recorded for a John Dorrington.

Only Canadian record I can see that might fit is the marriage of Grace Isabel Dorrington.... parents John Dorrington and Amy J Thomason.   In London, Ontario 1918.  Husband is Edgar Cyril Norman Brook.

Witness is Marjorie Dorrington.

1921 census, Grace and Syril (should be Cyril) are in London, Ontario with 2 children... a boy born 1919 and girl born 1920/1921.   Cyril was born 1880 in England, Grace was born 1891 in England.
