I'm stuggling to read this, but the son William Kingaby appears to have enlisted in 1885, naming his father and sister Louise as nok. Louise of 12 Burgess rd??, she is then crossed out and replaced by his wife Catherine (nee Kelleher) who he married 21/4/1889. (Image 7114)

William Kingaby
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1864
Age at enlistment: 21
Birth Parish: Harlow
Birth County: Essex
Document Year: 1885
Regimental Number: 6489
Regiment Name: Commiss' & Tp Corps
Number of images: 6

Added: Louie Leighton is at 12 Burgess road on the 1891 census - so he considers her to be his sister!

All correct assumptions I think and backed up by evidence- you lot are amazing.
:-D
So Mary Ann had an illigitimate child in 1863 Called Jane- shipped off to live with her parents and even though Mary Ann got married in 1864 stayed with the grandparents. She eventually took he rmothers married name but was that her real fathers name? who knows!

She then changed her name back to Dorrington for purposes of marriage etc
Her step brother lives with her for a while and eventually her 'dad' lives with her after her mum dies.
She takes her 'nickname' Louie or Louise and uses that on all future docs
blimey what a family!

want your next challenge yet?

just found a potential marriage record of David Dorrington and a Lydia Bonney in Epping in 1841 Q 1 vol 12 125
Could this be?
Anyone got access to parish/church records so we can check ages????
thanks

Hi Kevin,

The marriage just says both of full age, although she is a Spinster, he is a Widower.
Witnesses were Benjamin Wallis and Susan Dorrington.
David's father was David Dorrington deceased Labourer
Lydia's father was William Bonney deceased Labourer

Am just about to PM the record to you.

Kind regards
Amanda

Hi Kevin,

As usual the earlier help given is all correct.

Jane baptised 3rd Jan 1864, same church as the Marriage, daughter of Mary Dorrington, single woman
