JAMES DOLMAN AND MARY EALY

Does anyone know who the father of James Dolman (1792, Cherhill Wiltshire) was? He married Mary Ealy (15th May 1817). There were two James Dolmans born in Cherhill in the same year.

Two Elizabeths

Two Elizabeth Dolmans born within a year of each other have caused some confusion for some researchers. Another researcher has obtained certificates and passed info on to me which may be of use to some.

Elizabeth Dolman, age 20, dau of James Dolman (farm lab) married 23 Apr 1872 Independent Chapel, Melksham, Wilts, William Biffin, age 19, fitter and turner - father William Biffin, also fitter and turner.

Elizabeth Dolman b 9 Mar 1852 Bosmore, Chippenham, father Thomas Dolman (labourer), mother Mary Ann nee Bull.

So the Elizabeth Dolman who married William Biffin was not the daughter of Thomas and Mary Ann (Bull).
