I am trying to trace the mother of Frank Dobson who is Mary. I am also trying to find the name of her husband. I would also like to find out her maiden name.

Frank Dobson was born 1867 and died 1907. His mother Mary was born around 1840. Frank was born in Carlton in Barnsley so I presume his mum Mary came from there. I am not sure of her maiden name or the name of her husband.

This might be him from 1871, but no father. Is shown as stepson.
