I'm tracking this chunk of DORE family members and will list things chronologically here so it might be better understood...otherwise if not, please contact me and we can compare notes. I'm especially interested in the West Alvington area which might include Dodbrooke and Kingsbridge for some various other family members ( I just listed this direct line of John Knight Dore ) An online pen pal located the gravesite for Charles Dore and young son William, however I cannot find any other family members burial locations. I would be interested in local resources and happy to write letters for possible leads. 1861 Census for Honiton, Devon UK DORE, Charles (44) & Charlotte (43) Children: Winifred (16) Miriam (14) Samuel (13) John (11) Jane (9) Mary (7) Henry (5) Walter (3) Emily (2mths) 1871 Census for Honiton, Devon UK DORE, Charles (54) & Charlotte (53) Children: Miriam (26) Mary (16) Henry (14) Walter (12) Emily (10) 1876 Marriage of Walter Dore and Harriet Jane Thomas 1881 census West Alvington, Devon Co., UK DORE, Walter (23) b.
