"and here we are"!
We’ll start off with Elizabeth…
Elizabeth Dorr b. 27 July 1789 in Kettering, England -
d. 29 Nov 1857, the wife of Robert Raby, was the daughter of Samuel Dorr
b. abt 1737 in Kettering, and Mary Wilkinson of whom I have absolutely
NO information on. Elizabeth was one of 11 children. Samuel and Mary were
married on 9 Jan 1761.
Samuel was the 3rd of eight children born to Simon Dorr b.
abt 1707 in Kettering - d. bef 1775, and Elizabeth Swingler
b. abt 1710 - d. 21 Dec 1775. The two were wed on 29 March
1730.
Samuel was one of seven kids born to George Dorr b. abt 1685
in Kettering - d. 25 March 1754, and Hannah Manning, of whom
I just have her date of death as 23 Feb 1746/47.
George’s parents were Simon Dorr/Doore (spelled both ways depending
on which document you look at) b. abt 1661 in Kettering, and Ann Tingle
of which I have no other information on. My eighth great grandparents were
married on 12 Feb 1681.
Last but not least is Simon’s father, also named Simon b.
