Marblehead Births:

Preble, Abigail d. Nehemiah and Elizabeth bp 27 Jul 1800 CR1

Dolliber, Thomas s. Thomas P and Mary, bp 7 Sep 1788 CR1

Thomas, s Thomas and Elizabeth, bp 29 Oct 1797 CR1

Thomas, s. Joseph and Miriam, bp 14 Oct 1804 CR1

Marblehead Marriages:

Preble, Abigail and Thomas Dolliber, 5 Oct 1823 (note spelling)

Doliber, Abigail Mrs, and Samuel Blackler, jr, 18 Feb 1841

Marblehead Deaths:

Doliber, Thomas, 3rd, Drowned at sea ...,recorded 12 Jan 1810.

Doliber, Thomas, unm. fisherman, Drowned on Grand Banks Sch Liberty 19
Sep 1846 age 50 (probably the 1797 Thomas.)

Dolliber, Thomas [lost at sea GR1] 30 jan 1833 age 42 y [age 44 y GR1] (
probably 1788 thomas)

I would conclude from the above that the 1788 Thomas married Abigail,
drowned in 1833 and she remarried in 1841. The 1894 Thomas would have
been only 19 when married.

With so many surname variations, >10, you should get the Marblehead VRs
and enter the various people into a separate data file until the
relationships come together. The VRs are available on CD, fiche at
large libraries and in the books.
