Need help with Clarissa Dobson 1805 - 1843

[martin hooper]

Hello

I've tried for a long time to find out where my 3xG Grandmother came from. I'm hoping you can help.

She was Clarissa Dobson born about 1805 died 1843 Pentonville aged 38, buried in Pentonville chapel, Clerkenwell.

She married Henry Hooper 4 June 1822 St Pancras, witnesses John Dobson and Ann Dobson.

They lived in the Pentonville area of London and had 9 children:  Henry 1823, Mary Ann 1827, Thomas 1829, Richard 1831, William 1835, Charles 1837, Clarissa 1838, Emanuel 1840, and Eliza Emma 1843.

In the 1841 census they are living in Prospect Row Pentonville with 6 of the children. Her name is shown as Eliza not Clarissa (is this a mistake or have I missed something?) It's unclear whether or not she was born in same county.

That's everything I have - all advice and help appreciated.

Thanks

Martin

Could there be a connection with this Dobson family on 1841c

Thanks Carole - it looked a bit messy so I wasn't sure.

That looks interesting - I'll follow it up. If that is the John Dobson who witnessed Clarissa's marriage I think because of his age he is possibly her older brother.

Thanks

Hi
There is a Mary Dobson who marries a Joseph Berry at St Pancras 9.1.1831
One of the witnesses is William Young Hopper
She seems to be born c 1803 .

Is there a connection?
