You can't ask people on here to act as intermediaries between you and someone you wish to contact.

You must make the contact yourself

I think Mary still doesn't understand that nobody here knows Jean or her family.

Mary, everyone answering your message is just another member of this website who enjoys helping other people do family research.

So nobody could or would contact Jean on your behalf.

People have just found information on the internet about how you can contact her.

All you have to do is go to where jax said and search for her name in Albuquerque, but it seems that Rose will send that info to you privately.

Thank you Rose. I would like to contact her. My brother John died beginning of December which has spurred me on to continue family history. If she would rather do it the other way you are welcome to my address. I can let you and her have more information on the family for instance Harry Dobbin the last of her father's generation died about 2011 in Australia.

The tree on Mundia which is also on ancestry is owned by a member of the Fox family he hasn't logged in for over a year but may still have the same email address

http://www.mundia.com/gb/

It is free... search for Robert Dobbin 1908 died Ottawa

Edit Husband died in 1998 and tree is owned by one of her children

well done Rose :-)

google finds that there one other mention of John Patrick Fox in Ottawa in 1965

http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/42595602/

JOHN PATRICK FOX, BA (English major); ' California "State College " at Los Angeles,', plans to continue, his studies at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law in September. Son of Mr. and Mrs. John William Fox, 69 TtehfrewAvemie.-Wife:--the .. former Jean Dobbin.

... I don't see the tree at www.mundia.com unfortunately ...

There are some references on line to a Jean Fox in Ottawa but I do not see any that seem right (for example a Miss Jean Fox ...).

Does the Mundia tree say where her husband died? There could be an on-line obituary ...

Jean Margaret Fox,nee Dobbin b Ottawa
Shirley nee Dobbin b Ottawa
Father Robert Dobbin b 1908 Durham
Mother Laura
Robert was my father's brother and my uncle. My father was Thomas Dobbin b 2000.
I do not have a date of birth for Jean or Shirley. They also had a brother Douglas who died young. Most of my information for this branch is from family members who have now died.

Mary it would help more if you told us rather than having to search for it

No one can see your tree...we can only see the names dates and birth places you have entered if we search for the name Dobbin

Mary

Mary Report 10 Jan 2014 12:56

Thank you all for the advice. I will post some more information. I am finding it a bit difficult to find my way around the website. would it help if I include more on the family tree.

Mary, you may want to read the message called 'IMPORTANT - please read before you post a request' that is at the top of this forum. It explains what information you may want to give in your message and how members here can help you.

Sometimes people don't want to say 'so-and-so is my birth mother' or 'so-and-so is the child I gave up for adoption' ... to protect their own privacy and the other person's privacy ... but other members like to have an idea that a person is not a crazed stalker :-) ... so it is a good idea to say at least that the person you are looking for is a close relation or an old friend or your dad's old army buddy ...


(Mary may not have really wanted those recent birth details posted here ... this was rather easy to work out ...)


As everyone has seen there is no Fox-Dobbin marriage in England/Wales ... however there are Fox-Dobbin births ... so perhaps this was not a first marriage.

However, as noted there is also no Margaret J Dobbin born in England/Wales who would be the age to be mother of those children.

Is it possible that your Margaret Jean Fox is deceased? ... there are deaths recorded for that name.


Mary if you will give at least two pieces of information ... approximately when and approximately where your Margaret was born ... someone could perhaps help with your search.

It is very very unlikely that someone related will see your message at least right away. But you can see that if you do an internet search for 'margaret jean fox' the results include your message here so sometime in future, someone may find it. Remember to keep your email address in your account here current, even if you do not renew your membership people will be able to contact you if they join the site.

I have a feeling you have read Rose's or Reggies Researching box and think that was aimed at you?

I am afraid that comes up after everything they post the same as what is in mine and anyone else's who has posted on this thread

No birth on freebmd - or FMP - for a Margaret J Dobbin in the north east......nor is there one for a Jean M....anywhere in England/Wales

These are the parents for the MARY I mentioned above
