Dorning Rasbotham was the son of Peter and Hannah (Dorning) Rasbotham. He was married to Sarah Bayley c. 1754.
His paintings may be found in the archive collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London:
He died in Farnworth, near Bolton, Lancashire. One of his sons, another Dorning Rasbotham, is associated with Alkrington Hall, Middleton near Rochdale, a noble brick building surrounded by a park of 80 acres (320,000 m2)), whose architect was Giacomo Leoni (1686–1746). In 1845 the hall and estate were sold by Doming Rasbotham – the nephew of John Lever (of the Sir Ashton Lever family) to the Lees brothers of Clarksfield, Oldham, Lancashire, for £57,550.
