Dorsey Records from Taunton Massachusetts/Ireland
Been working through some research on my husbands family.While doing so came across the following.I'm not sure where it fits in the family for us but, may help someone else good luck:
Patrick Dorsey (birth place Ireland) Married to Hannah Brennan (birth place Ireland)Patrick parents Father-James Mother-Hannah(Annie)(both of Ireland).Hannah parents Father-JohnMother-Margaret (both of Ireland).Married 14 July 1855 Taunton Bristol County Massachusetts (book 4 page 31 line 42
Edward F Dorsey Date of Death 21 July 1895 age 24 Malaria (book 5 page 145 line 92)
Ann Dorsey Date of Birth 9 September 1857 Date of Death 7 June 1878 age 20 years 9 months (book 5 page 60 line 219)
James Darsey DOD: 2 April 1874 age 18years 5 months Tubercolsis (spelling) (book 5 page 145 line 92)
Patrick Dorsey DOD: 22 September 1883 age 60 years (book 6 page 60 line 318)
Ellen Dorsey Father-Patrick Mother-Mary (both of Ireland) DOB: 23 November 1861DOD:5 February 1877 age 15 years4 months Consumption
William P Dorsey DOB: 27 February 1872
Michael Dorsey DOB: 28 August 1870 (book 9 page 46 line ?)
Edward Dorsey DOB: 15 September 1868
John Darsey DOB: 21 August 1866
I found out on an intresting note that my family that I'm researching also spelled the name DAWSEY, DARCEY, DARCY.These were all the SAME family.Dad was Darcey.3 children were Darcy.1 child was Dawsey.And, 2 children were Dorsey.When one of the daughters married she listed her last name as Dorcey on the certificate.
It's been intresting to say the least.I am finding that DORSEY was finally consistantly used in this family starting in 1895 when Daniel P. Dawsey put Dorsey on his marriage certificate.His two sons were named Dorsey after that time frame.
Hope that info helps out someone,
Cathy
