The original Doggett manuscript family tree, which I think may well have been compiled by Frederick Ernest Doggett, had no dates of birth, marriage or death for my ancestor Thomas Doggett. I had already found his marriage to Elizabeth Bouts independently some years before the tree was given to me on 2 October 2007 by Frederick Ernest's great granddaughter Rosemary Mackinnon nee Doggett. The tree confirms that marriage. Rosemary also gave me the Doggett-Daggett book published by the American Samuel Bradlee Doggett in 1894. This has a section on the family of Thomas Doggett of Stoke Middlesex (it was in fact Stoke Newington in the borough of Hackney) but gives no more details about Thomas. The burial record found by Sarah Tanner at Stoke Newington on 30 April 1809 gives his age as 68 and his occupation as cowkeeper. There was a Doggett dairy in Shacklewell in 1770: "On the south side of the green Doggett's dairy of 1770 partly survived in a wall adjoining the 19th-century Grove House." From: 'Hackney: Shacklewell', A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 10: Hackney (1995), pp. 35-8. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=22700. A Mary Doggett marries a Lawrence Cooper at All Saints, Edmonton by licence on 4 November 1762 in the presence of Edward Frost and Thomas Barrows. They are both of this parish. Could she be a sister of Thomas? The burial record for Thomas implies he was born about 1741 but if the age at death was approximate, as they often were, then he could well be the child of Thomas Doggett and Ann Low who was baptized on 16 September 1739 at All Saints, Edmonton and I now believe that he was.
