Harriet Dollman (nee Heath): An Overview
We know about Harriet from the following sources:

Howells and Pamela Roberts.
If anyone on the internet can supply me with a biography, please do.
Note from Edward Beaumont:
I obtained the birth certificate. This shows that Edward Dollman and
his wife Rosina (sic, there), formerly Parr, had a daughter Harriet
Fanny (born February 1843 at 8 Pickering Terrace, Bayswater, Edward
Dollman's occupation being given as surgeon. This or another
Harriet Fanny Dollman (the exact name is unusual if not unique)
registered the birth of her daughter Ethel in south-east London/ Kent
in 1864 (date from memory), and another daughter Kathleen a couple of
years later. Subsequently it appears that she married Albert
Watkins and brought up these girls at various addresses (details from
the censuses) in London, eventually moving to Norwich with Watkins
(1901 census). Ethel Dollman married George Weeks in north
London in 1891 (again, exact date is from memory). The marriage did
not last, and in 1901 she was living in Norwich with her two
children, of whom her son George Weeks 1892-1945 was my mother's father.
When Ethel Dollman married George Weeks, it was stated in the
register entry of marriage that her father was Thomas Dollman,
deceased, traveller. This individual cannot be traced, and the
information appears simply to be untrue. My mother remembers
her grandmother Ethel as Nanny Heath, and it appears that she must
have re-married to a Mr Heath, details not yet known. Ethel Heath
lived into the 1930s at an address at Southbourne near Bournemouth.
The other details about the parents of Edward Dollman the surgeon, I
obtained only from the IGI and your site. A correspondent named Guy
Dollman in Australia refers to Edward Dollman (senior, the husband of
Harriet Heath) as "Uncle Ned" - it now appears that Guy and
I are related. Perhaps I am related to you too! The
re-occurrence of the name Heath appears to be a coincidence. Just
possibly instead of remarrying, Ethel "invented" Heath as a
new name for herself, perhaps from her family sub-consciousness.
Do you know anything about the Dollmans? The background at circa
1800-1840 appears to be fairly well-to-do London professional and
business types (is that right?), and Harriet, it seems, went off the
rails! She certainly seems to have gone downhill, socially. I wonder
if she had any brothers or sisters or if she totally broke from her family.
Thanks for your interest.
Edward
Can you say any more about Edward Dollman who married Rose Parr. My
great-great-grandmother appears to be their daughter Harriet (born
1843 in Bayswater, parents being Edward Dollman, surgeon, and Rosina
Dollman formerly Parr) (birth certificate). I have not found
their marriage. Edward appears to have been born 18 Dec.1814 and
christened the following March, at the Old Church, St.Pancras, having
been christened there in 1811, son of Edward Colebrooke Dollman and
Harriet Susan, who as you say, was born Heath. (my information only
from the IGI). I wonder what happened to Edward Dollman the
surgeon and his wife Rose / Rosina. Their daughter Harriet
seems to have fallen from grace somewhat since she registered the
birth of her daughters in the 1860s and there is no suggestion that
the man she subsequently married (Albert Watkins) was their father.
Thanks for any help
