I'm really hoping that someone can help me with this one. I am very, very stuck so here I am looking for help with this line of my family.

Joseph Dobson, my gr grandfather died in July 1885 at the age of 41 West Melton, West Riding Yorkshire. I'm thinking it likely was born in the latter part of 1843 or early 1844 (Ignoring mistakes of course). The 1881 censusgives birthplace as Leeds, but as my geography of the area is not that good, it could have been somewhere in the locality that I do not know about. I have no idea who his parents were and am desperately trying to find out. All the various Joseph Dobsons born 1842 - 1846 that I have been able to follow forward in the censuses don't seem to fit the picture (eg still alive in 1891). I have looked at census returns and followed forward those born in Halton/Whitkirk, Rothwell, Hunslet and Leeds. None seem right to me.
His partner was a Mary Ann from Sandside, near Milnthorpe in Westmorland. she was born Jackson (but known as Mark, until after her father left,when she is back to Jackson on the 1861 census in Wesmorland) Her mother Isabella Jackson, and her father Thomas Mark do not seem to have married.
I have just got the marrige cert for Mary Ann - she was previously married to a Robert Atkinson in Ulverstone in 1865. Register Office wedding. I am assuming that she didn't divorce, and therefore didn't marry Joseph Dobson (which is why I haven't been able to find a marriage for them). But, IF she married Joseph Dobson it would have been under the name of
Atkinson. I can't find any record of that though. I can't find out what happended to Robert Atkinson either - can't find a death, or evidence of emigration.
I am REALLY stuck. Can you think of any way that I can find out who this Joseph Dobson was? and who his parents were?
Thank you very much,
