My late father in law Herbert James Dobson was born on 19th September 1914 iin Leicester. From what I understand he left his family at some point and moved to London. Possibly had a sister who went to Australia, possibly to do with the church. The family would have known he had married to Florence (Peggy) Coleshill. Any relations out there somewhere? They had 3 boys and my husband is sure that the family knew about them.

Hi Janet. I am searching for a James Dobson who married a florence cotton and raised 3 boys and one girl in NSW Australia. Any reference? Have you checked NSW births death and marriages? It's a free record search site up until deaths in 1976.
