George Dorey who stayed in Labrador married Elizabeth ?? and had children: William, Thomas, Elizabeth, Louisa & Archelaus. Some other siblings may have stayed but his parents, Robert, Dedemiah, Deborah, Darcus and possibly John all left and went to Allegany Co., NY.
They would have arrived in Labrador from Poole, England sometime between 1825-1836.
I would love any information I could get but not sure where to start. The info I have about George was from a descendant who posted on another message board but I haven't received any answers as yet by e-mail so not sure she has the same e-mail. Her name was Cindy Gibbons. So if you know of her could you please let her know I would like to make contact with her.
Anybody doing research on the Dorey name from England, I would love to hear from.
