Catherine Dorney

From 'Chaplin and Skinner Families' December 1902 page 90:

>> THE DORNEY FAMILY.

It is not possible in this short space to go further into the history of the Dorney family, than to say that the founder of the family was one Dorney or Doreny, who fought at the battle of Hastings under the " elegetematt William," and who appears in Lelands Roll" (referred to in the late Duchess of Cleveland's Battle Abbey Roll) as " Dauraint et Doreny."
This family settled in Gloucestershire. In 1720 or thereabouts Catharine Dorney, daughter of Edward Dorney, of Bencombe, married John Harding, of Coaley, and the son of this marriage was John Harding, who on 29th June,1754, married Catharine Wyndham.
The last of the Dorneys was Miss Elizabeth Dorney. She was the only daughter of Edward Dorney, who in December, l754, married Elizabeth Wyndham, a sister of Catharine Wyndham: thus in the same year these two sisters married John Harding and Edward Dorney, who were second cousins to one another, making a second connection between the two families.
Miss Elizabeth Dorney was born in 1756, and died in 1846 at the age of 90, and on her death Bencombe passed to the Rev. John Harding as her heir at law.<<
