From Jim Dorling
(My Gt. G.
F.) James Dorling (1839
Wetherden) = Anna
Green
"James and Anna had a 10 acre small holding at Haughley Green. It was
called 'Cobbs Place' and later 'Willow Farm'. James grew willows. It
has been said that James was known ...'to call a spade a spade'.
(My G.F.)
Walter Dorling (1874 Haughley) = Rosanna Murton
"When James died, Walter took over the small holding and kept it until 1942
when he sold it. My grandparents then moved into a cottage nearby.
They were both keen members of the local Gospel Hall as were most of their
relatives. Walter was a very determined and active man, he had very good
health and only slowed up when old age crept on him, he died at the age of
91."
(My
Father) Walter
Edward Dorling (1902 Wetherden) = Matilda Curry
"He started his working life at the age of 14 years as a 'back-house boy'
to a local farmer at Wetherden hall. Unemployment forced him to move to a
farm at Selby in Yorkshire and eventually join the army. He chose the York
& Lancaster Regiment and joined circa 1923. He served in England,
Germany, and Northern Ireland, reaching the rank of Staff Sergeant by the time
he left the army in 1930.
On
leaving the army unemployment still dogged him and he went into the construction
business with 'Wimpeys' and travelled the counttry. He eventually found
employment with a local firm of 'Rands' and worked with them mainly as
well-borer until he retired and then part-time for a while. He completed
50 years with this firm and was duly presented with a watch etc. He was
one of the old school that gave 8 hrs work for 8 hrs pay. His interests:-
gardening, bee-keeping, rifle shooting."

From Horace Selwyn
Dorling (1914) written in 1984?
"I had the idea that my grandfather (Robert 1856 Wetherden =
Louise) came from East
Anglia, and I thought the town was Thetford but who said this at this late
stage, is impossible to say, and so it was surprising to learn that he was born
at the village called Wetherden for I have never heard of it before.
With
regard to my father (Arthur Frederick 1889 East Ham = Florence
Saker) , I can only pass
on to you what I was told by him many years ago which is that he commenced
working at the Bank of England as a junior and during this time he met a senior
bank official who became impressed with his ability and was largely responsible
for the shaping of his career. The official encouraged him top study which
he did, and then introduced him to a firm of merchant bankers which my father
joined, gaining promotion during the following years, and where he stayed until
his death at the age of 59 years in 1947."
"Mrs Ball's father was Edward Dorling (1852 Wetherden ) who
many years ago as a young man worked on the coal boats that used to sail or
rather steam between London and Newcastle. He left Essex and lived in
Newcastle, married there and had two daughters one of whom was Mrs Ball.
....William (1856 Wetherden) was a builder; I remember being taken
to a house in Manor Park that he had built and was extremely proud of for he was
living in it himself, and pointed out how soundly he had built it I
believe he had two sons and a daughter.. Eva who lived in Northumberland Ave,
Gidea Park."
