Hello, I'm trying to track down more information on William Stratford Dobles, b abt 24 June 1814 in Goodrich, Hereford(Christening record)(parents - William Stratford Dobles and Hester Collins.). In the 1851 Census, he's listed as 30, unmarried and working as an assistant to Francis Braithwais(t)e, an RCS of London, Licentiate of Apothecaries in the area of St. Nicholas, Hereford city. By 1871, William S Dobles is listed as a dispenser. In 1877, he's working as a dispenser in the Hereford Infirmary. He died in 1877 in Hereford. I was hoping that someone could check the directories of Hereford for the period 1845 to 1877 to see if there is any listing for William Dobles as a dispenser or apothecary or pharmacist. I still need to explore the birth date issue; 1814 versus 1821 (1851 census less age). Also, I hope to be able to track down his whereabouts in the 1861 and 1871 census. I have his will, but the only relationship is to his widowed sister, Mary Elizabeth Byrne. There is a James Collins listed as a witness who might be a nephew/cousin as William Dobles mother is a Hester Collins. The only info. on the parents is an IGI marriage record. Any help is appreciated on this impasse. Thanks, Barry
