Hello Carol,

I have found your message left on the Genes Reunited notice, 'trying to find'.
This is my Dover family:
Thomas Dover b. 1830 Wheatley, Oxfordshire d. 24 Dec. 1911 married on the 9th November 1852 to Emma DeBank b. 1834 Whitney, Oxfordshire, they had nine children.
Mary Ann Maria Dover b. 1853 Wheatley, Oxfordshire. d. 16 Dec. 1930
Leah Elizabeth Dover b. 5 Sept. 1855 Norwood, Surrey d. 1 Dec. 1923
Emma Dover b. 1863 Norwood, Surrey.
Thomas Dover b. 1865 " "
Lizzie Dover b. 1867 " "
Rose Dover b. 1870 " "
William Charles Dover b 1876 " "
Lillian Dover b. unknown.
Polly Dover b. unknown.

We have now traced our Dover family back to John Dover b. 1691 Great Milton, Oxfordshire married in 1716 in Great Milton to Katherine b. 1695 Great Milton.
If you would like to see our family tree please let me know.
Do you have any photographs, letters or stories about your Grandfathers family.
I would appreciate any information about William Charles and his family.
We have some photographs from the 1800's and some intersting news paper cuttings which mention Dover family members.

Although your notice was posted back in 2005
I hope this contact may prove worth while.

Regards,
Peter Dover.
