My Doreys originated in Jersey, an island in the English Channel; the earliest known are from 1690. They moved to Arichat on Isle Madame in the Canadian Province of Nova Scotia in the early 1800s.
This page addresses the family of George Dorey, sixth child of Philippe Dorey who was born 1753 in Jersey. George immigrated to Nova Scotia with his parents and siblings. There he married two wives and had five children.
Most of this family is buried in West Arichat, NS at the Immaculate Conception Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary (sometimes abbreviated ICC).
On 2-5-2007 I revised this page to show that Henry John Dorey is a separate person from his brother Clément Honoré. I am finally persuaded they are two.
This page lists the first three generations. There is additional information:

In 1900 a 21-year old Charles Dorey born May 1879 in NS lived in Pawtucket, RI with "partner" Louise Dorey, single born July 1882 in NS. They both immigrated in 1900 and worked in a cotton mill.

bap. 11-30-1848 St. John's Anglican Church, Arichat, NS as DORY d. unknown There is much confusion between Henry John and his brother Clément Honoré. It is unlikely to be resolved because of the lack of records. But as of Feb. 2007 my theory is that he died young, perhaps before his brother was born. And that it was his brother who married Adele Landry. Please advise of any evidence to the contrary! |

Later lived in Miller Dorey's house on Janvrin Island. In many records was referred to as Henry. Paul Landry says "Henry was commonly used for Honore in the Arichat area as well as the River Bourgeois area as well." In 1881 "Henry Dorey" age 30 lived in West Arichat with wife Adelina, 26, son Henry, 2, son Charles 6/12, and Judith BABIN, widow age 79.
