John Doling of Romsey
I have a couple producing children in Romsey - John and Sarah Doling.
Sarah baptised 1784 Elizabeth born 1786 but baptised 1788 Marianne baptised 1788 John baptised 1791 I have CDs for Hampshire and have looked at FMP but I can't find a suitable marriage for John and Sarah in county. I have dismissed one in the surname Dowling. I have tentatively the following baptism and burial for John: First Name JOHN Last Name DOLING Country England Record set Hampshire baptisms County Hampshire Year 1760 Month May First Parent George Second Parent - Year Of Birth 1760 Parish Romsey Place ROMSEY Notes - Year 1760 Son or daughter Son Day 27 First name(s) JOHN Last name DOLING Birth year 1760 Burial year 1836 Death year 1836 Death day 06 Death month Jan Age 76 Parish Romsey Of course, John could have married out of county - Wiltshire, for example. Another pair of eyes would be appreciated. |

I should think this is Sarah's burial:
9 Nov 1825 Sarah Doling aged 66 Romsey

Thanks, Merry. I found that with John's. I wish I could marry them!
It's rather spooky, as we were in the New Forest last week and we visited Bramshaw and Eling, where my Hatch family come from. Since we got home I have been looking at my son-in-law's tree and found that some of his Londoners came from Hampshire and a whole swathe of them (Harding, Rogers and Kernot) came from Eling! We had a good nose around the churchyard too - shame we knew nothing of this lot then! |

OH's 2xg-grandmother had her first baby at the New Forest Union Workhouse in Eling. The New Forest seems to have been a pretty healthy place to live - most of OH's family seem to have brought a dozen children to adulthood - it's amazing there are any trees left - should be high-rise flats by now!! I've looked in quite a few places for that marriage without any luck. Do you know John's occupation?

Merry, I hadn't thought about the mortality rate. You are correct, as very few of my New Forest ancestors had children dying in infancy.
I don't know John Doling's occupation so far, but if his father was George Doling this gives his occupation: Alt Ref No 1773AD/21 Title Probate administration and renunciation of George Doling of Romsey, Hampshire, victualler Date 1773 John Doling's (only?) son John went to North Stoneham, where he was a gamekeeper and toll collector. |

George Weekes Doling married Allice Lawrence on 3rd December 1751 at East Wellow.

Romsey is the sort of place that could pull people in from a fair distance away.
I have Wiltshire people stopping off at Romsey en route to Portsea. Have you looked at any victuallers' licences eg for Dorset to see if the surname crops up?

Thanks, Phoenix. This family seems to have been at Romsey some time if my research is correct, but I am mindful that people moved about a lot.
I have some of my Bramshaw family marrying in Wiltshire (it is right on the border) and it might be a possibility for John and Sarah Doling too. |

Hi Liza, It was said that my Lett family from Carlow in Ireland were originally from Wiltshire (went over with Cromwell). I think I tried looking at Wiltshire records online but didn't have any luck. Is that just me? Julie

Ancestry has a Wiltshire Marriage Index which is pretty good (I think someone said it was a copy of the Nimrod Marriage Index?) but of course ancestry is down at the moment!
