WALTER DOLMAN, CONSUL TO ALICANTE, REIGN OF KING JAMES 1689

Thanks to Penny Dolman for this info.

Edgar William Fox Dolman, 1906, NSW, Australia

Any family claiming Edgar William Fox Dolman. If you have lost this family line then I could probably find out more for you. Penny

Snippet from "Pioneering in the Bellinger Valley" ( NSW Australia) - Produced from the Bellinger Valley Historical Society

"In 1906 an event occurred at the Hospital which must have split the community in two. Margaret Jane Slater had been appointed Matron in 1904 and entered on her duties in January 1905. The Hospital was managed by a Committee, the President was Edward James Robert Walker Raymond and the Hon Sec. Edward William Chidley, a Bellinger, solicitor. The local doctor was Edward William Fox Dolman who had practiced in Bellinger only since the previous November and on the resignation of Dr Humphrey was appointed as hospital doctor until March 1906 These were the principal actors in the drama which was enacted on February 6, 1906.

( I believe Dr Dolman graduated 1901 in U.K.- PF)

In 1905 things began to go wrong. Although in the middle of the year the President expressed satisfaction with the Matron and said he would recommend a bonus of 5 pound at Christmas , he began to find fault with her financial management, particularly with the cost of afternoon teas at which she entertained her friends. There was also a complaint that she had left a patient in pain and gone down the street, but some friction occurred between her and some of the members of the Committee. On January 17, 1905 the Annual Meeting of subscribers elected as Committeemen etc………… Dr Dolman applied for re-election as Medical Officer in March but was not accepted and early in the year it was decided to terminate the Matron's appointment and replace her with Nurse Tully. She refused to leave, saying that her appointment was till March. However on 13 January the President and two other Committeemen visited the Hospital with Nurse Tully. Gave her a chair and said they installed her as Matron. Matron Slater still refused to leave and they went away. The position was complicated by the fact that there were three patients in the Hospital at the time, including a Mr. Anderson, who was seriously ill and whose temperature went up dangerously when he heard of the trouble. He said that he would refuse to stay in the hospital if Matron Slater left. This was the position on Feb 6, when the President and about 6 members of the Committee came and asked her to leave and offered certain inducement including permission to remain and nurse, but under Matron Tully. She refused and they told her that they might have to use force to remove her. The stage was now set for a confrontation that afternoon. She summoned her friends, who were Dr and Mrs. Dolman and Surveyor Evans and his wife. Soon the President appeared with thirteen of the Committee and a policeman. He again appealed to Matron Slater to leave but she refused. George Wills then seized her right arm and with the help of the President she was forcibly ejected from the building and out through the gate of the Hospital grounds.

Matron Tully took over the Hospital but Mr. Anderson left against Dr Dolman's advice. The doctor took him to his ( the doctors home) where he died a little later".

The case went to court and Matron Slater was awarded compensation of 150 pounds,-particularly as she was able to prove bruises on her arms etc..

ISACK DOLMAN 1792 CHERHILL POORE BOOK


This entry is from the Cherhill Poore Book for November 8th 1792. Again it is a transcript from The Manor and Village of Cherhill. I suspect that Betty Holman is actually James Dolman's wife Betty Dolman as I can find no other mention of Holman in Cherhill. There were two Isaacs in Cherhill at this time, one born in 1767, one in 1763. The 1767 Isaac was married to Mary Rawlings.

DENNIS DOLMAN 1935 CALNE


This is another page from D H Blackford's book. Does anyone know who Dennis Dolman is? I can't place him in the family tree. The photo was taken in May 1935 and is of the Calne Scouts helping to build a bonfire in Cherhill. (The Silver Jubilee celebrations of King George V and Queen Mary, 6th May, 1935)

William Dolman 1850 Cherhill, Wiltshire


This is a page from D H Blackford's book The Village and Manor of Cherhill. (transcript of Parish Records - 1850)
The William Dolman mentioned is the William Dolman that was the reason for starting this blog. William Dolman (1803)

The Internet Surname Database

This very interesting surname is of early medieval English origins, and describes one who was an official of the village. The Doleman was responsible for the maintenance of the boundary posts and markers which delineated the village limits, and he was also responsible for "the dole". This was an area of common land which was divided into areas and uses, such as grazing, cuttage and turvery, the latter being the right to take turf for fuel, the "Doleman" ensuring that the rights were not abused. The surname is recorded in the varied spellings of Dollman, Dolman, Doleman and the locational Dole, Doll and Deale. The modern meaning of "Dole" derives from the original medieval translation of "equal shares". The name, perhaps not surprisingly, is regularly recorded in early Court and Charter records; Richard Doleman appears in the Hundred Rolls of Oxfordshire in 1279, whilst one of the earliest settlers in the New American Colonies (Virginia) was Thomas Doleman, who appears in the Muster of Captain Raph Hamor, on January 23rd 1624, having arrived in 1622 on the ship "Returne" of London. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Dolman, which was dated 1260, a witness at the "Cheshire Assize Courts", during the reign of King Henry 111, known as "The Frenchman", 1216 - 1272. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

DNA TESTING

I have my Father's DNA results from Ancestry.com. He is Haplogroup Ancestral Group l1a.. I have the results of 46 markers which I would love to share with other Dolman / Dollmans. There are very few on the net at the moment so it would be so interesting if a representative of each of the Dolman groups had their swab test for DNA and at least could let us know if they are prepared to share their results.
