	Have you got her marriage certificate? The name of her father could be on there, or a family member could have been a witness.

	Is there any possibility that Elizabeth Dover might have married a Mr Nicholson, left him and moved in with Benjamin. That would account for no marriage being found.

	'Morning Sylvia....... Yes, that's what I had found too. I also found that Joseph Dover had probably died in 1949 and that Mary Dover was living with her aunt + uncle but couldn't see any trace of Arabella. I wondered if she had remarried, perhaps accounting for the 'Nicholson' name ? but couldn't find anything. 1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription Bridekirk, Cockermouth, Cumberland, England Learn more Print transcription View image Household Members First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place Jonathan Carruthers Head Married Male 24 1827 Farm Labourer Great Broughton, Cumberland, England Transcription Mary Carruthers Wife Married Female 27 1824 - Camerton, Cumberland, England Transcription John Willian Carruthers Son - Male - - - Little Broughton, Cumberland, England Transcription Mary Dover Niece - Female 11 1840 - Seaton, Cumberland, England Death: DOVER, JOSEPH 38 Order GRO Reference: 1849 M Quarter in COCKERMOUTH Volume 25 Page 75 Dea x
