Edward Dollman 1859

The Edward (? James) Dollman is probably my g grandfather
who came to Australia about that time-possibly steerage
as no ship found. The George Dolman may help someone
trace their family off shore.

The Times pg 1 issue 27074; col A Deaths

On the 25 May 1871 at Prestbury(?) Cottage Cheltenham aged 34 years, Esther Dollman widow of John Dollman

This is rather blurry so I would suggest interested persons re look at this document.

I note on Roger Dolmans site there is an Esther Dolman - possible connection?

Bagster, Elizabeth Lucas. her mark, Minerva Humphry her mark.

Second Day of May 1719

Cant
read the Latin..Some reference to Elizabeth Dolman ..did she die? Or was still underage
- perhaps had reached her majority

Daniel
Lucas may be the husband of Elizabeth Lucas possibly nee Dolman.

There
is also a Mary /Minerva Dolman in the family line of the Sussex families
so possibly related to Minerva Humphry

This
Edward is proved as being one of the Sussex families and he and his son
Edward are noted as being needle makers. He may have come from London or Sussex.
Other members of the family were or became cord wainers carpenters and mercers
and hat makers to Royalty

There
may also be a son James and Daniel and perhaps Elizabeth is the daughter of deceased son.

Notes: from Penny Ferguson nee Dolman

1. no mention on British Origins or British History Online or A2A of a Hugh or Jeremiah Dolman
2. Boyds Inhabitants of London mentions Thomas Citizen and Corwainder of London 1679 PCC St Peter Cornhill with orphans Hugh and Mary.
3. Family Search IGI has 4 Jeremiah Dolman,,2 in England one to Jeremiah Dollman and Margrett bapt 19 Oct 1670 St Dunstan Stepney. There are two also earlier in Germany.
4. Could this family be Palatine/Huguenot? And Hugh is Haggin/Huggin

He seems to have acquired or arrived with money to have such property as a cordwainer. Is Jeremie Dolman with son of same name a brother of this Thomas?

5.Google search I think for Henry Thwaite is Sir Henry Thwaite –check years are within range etc

6. Bridgers is a well known Kent name so presumably Elizabeth remarried after the death of Thomas’ father,

7. Rutham is a known “old” place name in Google

8. Look at St Dunstan Stepney on Wiki
