Jacob Dorrington and Ruth Dorrington (General)

by Clements Tump , Lowestoft, Thursday, February 22, 2018, 19:15 (2459 days ago)

Complicated family to follow with various spellings: Dorington, Darlington and Darrington.
Jacob was son of Thomas and Sarah Dorrington, married at Newland in 1827. His second marriage: first was to Elizabeth Field, widow in 1818 who died in 1824 - there may have been 2 children but they do not appear in the 1841 census as part of Thomas Dorrington's family, but they would have been 23 & 20 and may have married or left home. I have no details of Elizabeth Field's first marriage or birth.
Thomas and Sarah had 3 children
Elizabeth, born abt 1828
Thomas, born in 1830. He married Lucy (?) in Australia and they had 6 children. One of their sons, John Edwin Darrington, was the last person to live in the family home (see below), dying in 1959.
Jacob born in 1835 and lives with his mother after Thomas Dorrington dies in 1853. Sarah Dorrington remarries: to Thomas James in 1854 but by the 1861 census she is a widow again and Jacob is still living with her.
Jacob marries Ruth Elsmore (b1851 of Edwin & Mary Elsmore) in 1872.
However, I cannot find neither Jacob nor Ruth in 1881 or 1891 censuses, and I see that Ruth died 26.9.93 but no Forest of Dean burial. I cannot find Jacob Dorrington's death (tried freeBMD with all 4 spellings plus findmypast/genealogist/ancestry with no luck). Did they leave Forest of Dean or even UK?
There used to be a small cottage in Clements Tump (demolished by Glos CC) which I think was lived in by various Dorringtons, and may have been built by Thomas Dorrington in the 1830s/40s. I believe Thomas Dorrington lived there until he died in 1915, and his widow Lucy until she died in 1926. It was then occupied by their second daughter, Emma, and their second son, John Edwin, neither of whom ever married, until their deaths in 1951 and 1959. The remains of the cottage now lie in the garden of amy house in Clements Tump.
If anyone could fill in the gaps re
Elizabeth Field and her birth details and marriage
Whether Thomas and Elizabeth Dorrington had any children (there are baptisms in 1818 and 1821 with parents Thomas & Elizabeth, but are these the same people?)
What happened to Jacob and Ruth Dorrington.
Although names are spelt quite variously, I have used Dorrington for simplicity and until I started investigating it was how I thought the name was spelt.
