JAMES DOLMAN 1773, WILTSHIRE

Can anyone help with this query?

My wife Helen is related to James Doman born 1773 (per 1751 census data) lived in Longbridge Deverill (LD) / Hill Deverill (HD) - married Mary Ford 29 Mar 1796 in LD - died 30 Apr 1852 HD. They had 11 children per HD church records - and some of their grand-children migrated to Australia. I have extensive data on the Australian lines amongst my 10,700 database.
For the last few months I have been trawling through the LD, HD, etc micro film tapes to try to find James Doman's forbears. Last week I received the Latter Day Saints film of Maiden Bradley (MB) - and find a Timothy Dolman that married Mary (Coleman?) - and had two children James baptised 1775 and Joseph 1777. In the LD records there is a Timothy & Mary Doman that had four children William 1784, Benjamin 1786, Mary 1788 and John 1792. I suspect that these are the same family - which would suggest James is son of Timothy (the birth data from census aligns to MB data).
With this data I looked at family trees on Ancestry.com - found a number (including Steve Matthews one) that show Timothy, his father William (born Calne 1694) and through William 1668, Walter 1640, Walter 1611 to William Dolman / Joane Jeffries.
1. Can you confirm if the Timothy & Mary Dolman in MB are the same as the Timothy & Mary Doman in LD/ HD ?

NORWEGIAN DOLMANS


The following are two recent requests from the guest book.

1) I am looking for history of a Norwegian family, originally named Olson (Olssen?) who changed their name to Dolman after arriving in the United States in the 19th century. The name "Dolman" was picked because it resembled the name of a Norwegian Island, which I cannot find. Do you have any information about this?

2) My e-mail address is bbakerlaw@aol.com. Please e-mail me if you have any information about Norwegian Dolmans. Thanks, Bonnie

WILLIAM (DOLMAN) MILES

Request from guest book. Can anyone help?

William Miles who married Mary Ann Walter 16 May 1836 was my GGGrandfather. One of his daughters, Sarah Miles, b1842, married Henry Hyatt and they lived in Shepton Mallet. My father was a Hyatt. I only found William's marriage recently and discovered that hr was also known as Dolman. On Sarah's marriage certificate her father's name is given as Miles and he made his mark. I would be interested to know why he was also known as Dolman- possibly his mother had been widowed and remarried?

DOLMAN ART DEALER

I'm trying to find information about a London art dealer called Dolman (don't know his first name sorry!) working sometime in the late nineteenth century (I think between 1870 and 1890). If anyone has come across any information about him, I'd be very grateful. I can be contacted at lizziebisley@hotmail.com.

Thanks very much,Lizzie.

GEORGIANA DOLMAN, CHIPPENHAM , WILTSHIRE - MARRIAGE 1891

I recently bought an original marriage certificate with the surname Dolman on ebay. I believe the bride might be a descendant of Thomas Dolman and Mary Ann Bull, judging from later census returns?
In case anyone is interested, here are the details.
25 Dec 1891 at the Wesleyan Chapel Chippenham Wilts, Georgiana Dolman aged 29 Spinster residing Sheldon Rd Chippenham, her father, George Dolman = Market Gardener. Married to Harry James Tanner?/Danner?, aged 31, Shop Assistant, also of Sheldon Rd, Chippenham, his father, George T/Danner = Smith.

Married in the presence of Albert Townsend and Annie Dolman
Minister is Thomas Allcock & Registrar is W A Warrilow (?)

I hope this might be of interest?
