An Eliza Watkins nee DORRINGTON 1856 born Tidenham (reply)

An Eliza Dorrington married William Watkins born 1849 in Woolaston, however I am unsure if this is the same Eliza Dorrington as listed on this record, as census information states she was born in 1856.
William Watkins was the brother of my great grandfather, George Watkins born 1847 Woolaston.

Jane DORRINGTON buried 18 December 1849
Probably wife of Edward as he is described as widowed in 1851 Census. This is the entry:

1959 0270 029 Raspadge DORRINGTON John HD M 24 Miner Iron GLS Saint Briavels [St.Briavels]
1959 0270 029 Raspadge DORRINGTON Hannah WI M 25 - GLS East Dean
1959 0270 029 Raspadge DORRINGTON Edward FA W 50 Labourer GLS Saint Briavels [St.Briavels]
1959 0270 029 Raspadge DORRINGTON Henry NP - 9 Errant Boy GLS Saint Briavels [St.Briavels]

Caroline DORRINGTON buried 4 July 1858.
May be wife of George. 1861 Census would give a clue but I do not have Ancestry.com subscription.

To obtain details of imprisonment of William contact Gloucester Record Office. Details of how to go about this are on the website at:
http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=1335

Hannah DORRINGTON buried 1858
William appears to be widowed in 1861 and Hannah's age at date of death would suggest she was wife of William.

When you log on to the Gloucester Record Office web page above make use of the link to the Genealogical database.

Good luck

Woahhhh guys slow down lol I am trying to make sense of all the info you have given here as most of it is my family!

First things first, the Jane Dorrington burial for 18 Dec 1849 would be that of Jane b. abt. 1791 wife of Edward Dorrington (b. abt. 1802). I have her death down as 14 Dec 1849.
The burial for Caroline Dorrington 4 Jul 1858 may be that of Caroline Rollins wife of George Dorrington (b. 1822).

I wonder what William did to end up in Gloucester Gaol? It would interest me to know, my 4XG Grandfather is Thomas Dorrington b. 1823, William's brother!

The burial for Hannah Dorrington 26 May 1858 may be that of Hannah wife of John Dorrington (b. 1827) also brother of my 4XG Grandfather.

I haven't got the parents of either Edward Dorrington b. abt 1770 or his wife Elenor Jones b. abt 1774 (d. 1849 about the same time as her daughter in law Jane) but they were married as you said 11 Jun 1795.

What do you think?

Joanne.
