Hi Henry, As a Dopson with family rooted in Ramsbury, Shalbourne and Wiltshire in general, I can also confirm the name is interchangeable with the Dobson variant. You might be interested to see the rather large file of Dopson/Dobson records, which is hosted on my website at the following address: http://www.rolanddopson.co.uk/genealogy/dopson.zip I did have a look for Eliza's marriage and also for a birth for her in Shalbourne/Bagshot, but came across nothing. As pointed out by Nancy, your next step really is to order the marriage certificate. This will hopefully give parent's names and an approximate year and place of birth. You might then be able to pinpoint a birth record for Eliza in that file or elsewhere. This may also help you to locate her on the 1841 census. Please send me anything you find and I will endeavor to add all the details to the file. Please feel free have a look around my site in general as well - here is a direct link to the family tree section http://mytree.rolanddopson.co.uk Roland -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 27 August 2008 08:05 To: [email protected] Subject: ENG-WILTSHIRE Digest, Vol 3, Issue 228 Today's Topics: 1.

I would think that Eliza was born in the parish of Shalbourne, Wilts, which includes the hamlet of Bagshot. Shalbourne is near Hungerford and is in the Hungerford Registration District. You could try looking for Eliza's baptism in Shalbourne or one of the surrounding parishes. Dobson/Dopson (often interchangeable) is a commonly found local name. It certainly occurs in Ramsbury where James was born.

Hi Henry, You appear to have the marriage particulars from the FreeBMD which are that Eliza DOPSON married James FORD 3rd Qtr 1843 Hungerford Vol 6, Pg 287. I would suggest you start out by ordering the marriage certificate from the GRO which may give you further information about Eliza that will give you a clue as to where to look for her baptism. It would appear to have taken place before civil registration. GENUKI Wiltshire does not list a town or village by the name of Bagshot, so I think you may be looking elsewhere. My Parish Locator program says that the only parish named Bagshot is in Surrey. I took a peek on the IGI and there are no DOPSON baptisms there, but there are DOBSONs. Perhaps the spelling was interchangeable. The IGI has no DOPSON baptisms anywhere in England 1808 to 1828. Were you able to locate her with her family in the 1841 census?

Hi! I have corresponded with several members of this list about the ADLAM line in Wiltshire. I have started a DNA project for the Adlam surname at Family Tree DNA: _Click here: ADLAM Surname DNA Project - Family Project Website_ (http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Adlam&fixed_columns=on) They are having a summer sale right now through Aug 31st with really good prices for new members. If you are a male Adlam please consider testing, or if you know a male Adlam, please pass this information along. I would love to have Wiltshire Adlam's included in the project as I believe that is where the surname originated. Thank you!

Hi, New to this list. A lucky hit with a wedding certificate has (finally) led me away from the Midlands. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has information on this family; Francis COOKMAN born c.1808, Bradford, Wilts wife Maria TOWNSEND born c.1808 Potterne, Wilts Children - Harriet b.1833 Salisbury, Charles b.1836 Salisbury, Francis b.1842, Denbies, Berks. This information is from the 1851 census so should be treated with caution. I found a marriage between Francis Cookman and Maria Townsend 06/02/1831 at St. Edmunds, Salisbury where their eldest children were baptised. I could be wrong on this but there is a Maria Townsend on the IGI (extracted entry) baptised in Potterne, 1810. So, at the moment it's the Cookmans I'm stuck on. Any help is appreciated.
