Hello

My connection is through Mary Michael, daughter of Philip Michael and Mary Dorrington, Edward's daughter. Have we a link?

Yes, I have discovered Edward's will, but I've yet to explore the lives and (mis)deeds of his siblings, so thank you!

Thank you for that information, which suggests that this is the same marriage as the one in Record 107142 where his name is given as Edward Dorr.

Record 107142
Is the Edward Dorr in this record of marriage to Jane Hale on 22nd June 1819 actually Edward Dorrington? I can't find any other record of Edward's first marriage to Jane ??
