Dear Amber Dobb: I have traced my family back to the 1700's in England and they were all in Yorkshire Lincolnshire. My father was born in Doncaster, Yorkshire and moved to the suburbs of London after the first world war where he met and married my mother. I moved to Canada with my family after the second world war, in 1956. I have never found any Dobb family from Cornwall. In my research the name has been spelled Dobb, Dob and Dobbs. It seems many of my ancestors were illiterate and I think when births, marriages and deaths were reported the registrar just spelled the name the way he thought it should be. Vic Dobb
