Max Dobson uncertain of dob, possibly 1918 - 1925. Married to Alice. Possibly son of Perry and Ethel Dobson. All from Fulham area. Unsure of relationship, but also looking for Colin Dobson, possibly married to "Maxie".

Hope you can help.

Thanks Diddydoris, will follow up on your Fulham lead. We've spent hours looking through registers, and you did it in less than four minutes. You're a legend.

Kind regards

Thank you LL, Perry and Ethel are my grandparents, Diana is my mother.

Maxwell is a member of my family that I cannot slot into my tree. Perry had several brothers. Not sure if Maxwell is son of one of the brothers, or a sibling of Diana. Can't find a link. To add to the mystery, I cannot place Colin Dobson and his wife Maxie into my tree either, again, can't find a link.

Appreciate your input.

Kind regards

Hi Melanie,

Do you know if your mother was the eldest child? I am checking births for you now.

LL

This is Perry's birth details, so I wouldn't have thought Maxwell was his son.

Births Jun 1895
Dobson Perry Wandsworth 1d 645

Is this your grandfather?

Sorry LL, have no idea. Can't even be sure Diana had siblings, which makes it harder still.

Got a bunch of Hot Matches for Perry Dobson's brothers: Richard 1889, Leonard 1890, Perry 1895, and Henry 1898, with another tree holder, but she's not active it seems. In any case, not getting any replies to my mails.

Been very interesting tonight though.

Off to bed, it's 11:00PM down under.

Many thank yous and regards

My word DD, you're on to it.

Yes you've got into my tree stuff. It's only Maxwell and Colin that are the mystery members.

Will continue the search tomorrow.

Thanks once again for your leads and input. Marvelous. Any other info you can muster is most welcome.

Kind regards

Hi Melanie,

There is also a Colin on Genes with Maxwell Dobson in his tree. Could this be your Colin? He also has an Alice Kirmond born 1909, I wonder whether this Alice could be who married Maxwell Dobson.
