Misc. Notes
Not to be confused with the George Nelson DOBIE who was born in 1895 in Northumberland, England (Newcastle upon Tyne registration district).

There was also a George DOBIE born 5 May 1863, in Dryfesdale, Dumfriesshire, to Thomas DOBIE & Margaret PATTERSON, so possibly related; see 1871 Scotland census, Ecclefechan, Hoddam parish, Dumfriesshire, and Scotland, Select Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950. And this wasn’t the only George DOBIE born that year in Scotland.

ScotlandsPeople has 6 persons named George DOBIE born 1862-1864. Only one with “Nelson” as a middle name; 4 with no middle name; 1 with a different middle name.

When George travelled from Montreal to Liverpool in 1919, he gave his European address as 71 King St., Aspatria (Cumberland), which is where he had lived in 1881.

When George travelled from Liverpool to Montreal in 1925, he reported his “Last Address in the United Kingdom” as Bridge House, Olney, Bedford, which is where Katherine’s father lived. [7036]
