Still trying to find Dorcas. Many people seemed to be unable to trace her before her marriage. Anyone out there know anything about Dorcas before she married Thomas Wilson in Hull in 1814?
Parents, family anything.

Extracted marriage record for locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the marriage date.

Thanks. Sorry about the groom. Ypu have the corect person. I put in their son's name instead.

she doesn't come up on family search

She's on a tree on Ancestry but it doesn't have parents' names. It says she's born abt. 1800, Hull.

the info Margaret posted is from family search site

Hi Margaret
I have a couple of contacts for Dorcas but none of us have anything before her marriage. Looks like we will have to try for a certificate.

But there are no certificates before 1837, Carole.

Thanks everyone. Found her now but am no further on really. Any suggestions?

Hi Ellen
Yes that is the family. What I'm looking for is any information on the parents of Dorcas. On the 1861 census she is called Ann so maybe she had another name.
Thanks, Carole

Still looking for Dorcas Wilberforce prior to her marriage in 1814. Anyone got any info please?

Could Dorcas have been married before? The original parish record might show if she was spinster or a widow when she married Joseph.

Hi Potty
Not Likely as she was only about 16 or 18yrs when she married Joseph. Thanks anyway.

A physical look up please, anybody in Hull E Yorks for the marriage of Dorcas Wilberforce to Joseph Swithenbank Wilson on 11th Sept 1814 in Sculcoates Hull. I know it is a lot to ask.I live abroad and have done it before for someone who couldn't access records over here.
I am trying to determine the family of Dorcas who was born in Yorkshire about 1796. My only avenue is her marriage lines as no cert. is available for that date. I am hoping that her father's name will help to unblock some info.
I understand that the info is available on batch no MOO9152,sheet 00, source no0919441-443, printout call6909698, 1813 /1837 if that is of help to anybody.

Here's hoping and a big thank you if you can.

Is there a LDS family history centre near where you live? You can find out from familyseach site home page. You can ask them to obtain the film for you and check it yourself.

I notice that in the batch you quote there is a marriage for a Walter Wilberforce or Wilberfoss for the same year as Dorcas's. A relative possibly.

I am not sure if viewing the record will give you her father's name. Parish records for that period do not often give that info.

Hi Potty
Thanks for that. I actually live in Gibraltar so no LDS. Some parish records give the info. as I have found them on line before in relation to something else.
I have looked at Wilberforce in Hull, births around 1800 to try and find a connection. The trouble is by 1841 census the family will not be together and my searches for relatives are bringing no response.
Maybe if I go to UK this year I can try.
Regards, Carole

Hi, Potty. i have an Elizabeth Wilberforce b(1851) who married John Elletson (b 1846). they married in Hull in 1869. her parents were Charles and Mary Wilberforce. could there be a link?
