I've noticed that Ancestry has much better Dorset PRs (with images) than FMP (with transcriptions), including these possibilities: Dorset, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 about Robert White Name: Robert White Event Type: Baptism Baptism Date: 13 Dec 1789 Parish: Preston and Sutton Poyntz, Dorset, England Father's Name: Henry White Mother's name: Elizabeth White Is this your ggg-gf?

The 1851 census image shows Robert's wife Mary as born at Exmouth, Devon, but the 1861 image has Axmouth, Devon. FMP has the 1794 baptism of Mary Williams at Axmouth, but none of that name at Littleham/Exmouth.

Could William be the brother of your mariner ggg-gf? Is this a maritime family? Ancestry's Masters and Mates has about 20 WHITE born Portland between 1800 and 1825, including two Robert. What evidence do you have that your ggg-gf was a mariner? His active carreer would have been too early for his inclusion in that Ancestry listing. Also, FreeBMD Deaths Sep qtr 1866 WHITE Mary age 73 E. Stonehouse - implies birth ca 1793 Dec qtr 1873 WHITE Robert age 80 E. Stonehouse - implies birth ca 1795, probably an underestimate of his age? Regards - Martin Beavis -----Original Message----- Many thanks for the responses. I eventually found the 1861 census entry mistranscribed on FMP and another reply (off list) provided the burial records at Ford Park Cemetery for both Mary & Robert WHITE MARY 13 9 1866 age 73 of 2 HOBART TERRACE STO Stonehouse 22/- Grave Church F 9 17 1015/7 WHITE ROBERT 27 10 1873 age 80 of 2 HOBART TERRACE STO Stonehouse Chosen Grave Church F 9 17 1015/9 They appear to have moved to Devon some time between 1841 and 1851. The 1841 census finds the family in Mylor in the same street as the family where my great great grandmother was living. Robert was absent (possibly at sea?) Robert and Mary's eldest son Robert John Williams White married in Mylor in 1847 with his father's occupation shown as mariner, as it is for Robert's 1823 baptism in Weymouth. His sisters both married in Plymouth Sarah Ann White, dau of Robert, married Richard Barnes at Plymouth Charles 1 April 1849 Mary Susan White married John Rabbage at Holy Trinity Plymouth 18 May 1880 I have yet to locate their other three sons in the 1851 census in Devon or elsewhere.(All were in Mylor in 1841) William Henry WHITE 1827 John WHITE 1829-1888 James WHITE 1831 The marriage and baptism Martin quotes are those that I believe to be the correct ones for my ancestors. Mary Williams being baptised in Wyke Regis in 1798. The migration along the South Coast certainly suggests Admiralty Records might yield more. Perhaps Robert was a coastguard, the occupation of his eldest son Peter --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

Peter, In this context Pensioner means army, navy or civil service. As you mention mariner this would mean either the navy or the marines. Any records should be in the National Archives but, as most do not have a personal index, I would recommend starting with one of their guides http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/default.htm Unfortunately most of these records have to be searched at Kew. A quick search of the catalogue index gives 52 hits for a Robert White in the ADM classification, but many of these are White as a middle name or the wrong dates. Some are worth investigating.

I have just managed to discover that my elusive great great great grandfather Robert WHITE, a mariner from Weymouth born ca 1790 had settled in East Stonehouse by 1851! In 1851 he and his wife Mary (born 1798) were living at 23 East Street, East Stonehouse. His birthplace was given Preston, Dorset hers as Exmouth (but probably should have been Weymouth where they married in 1822. Robert was a pensioner in 1851 and also in 1871 when he was a widower living with his daughter Mary at Hobart Terrace, East Stonehouse. Unfortunately I can't identify the couple in the 1861 census nor unambiguously identify his wife's death. Any suggestions welcome. Curiously another of my mother's great great grandfathers was living at 20 East Street in 1851! Peter --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

It would be helpful to me and probably other listers if postive replies to Liz Loveland's request could be copied to this list.

Yes - I think Andrew is right - the image is Edmond, not Ernest. Perhaps they were doing a recce, looking for a seaside town for their retirement. But they were living at Littleham by 1914. You obviously don't have Ancestry, so ... Ancestry has: [1] London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 lists Edmund (sic) Lewis ARCHER as resident at 103 Earls Court Road, Kensington, from 1885 to 1890.

There is a link to the Colyton Parish History website (see "Societies" at bottom of Genuki Colyton main page). I don't know if this relates to your quoted reference but the website does say "the full details of 80 Colyton families are now held by the society" and it looks as if you have to contact their Archivist for details or visit the Colyton Heritage Centre.

I have a page of burials from Devon that covers the years 1730 to 1733. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the parish! The page includes: - John FROST of Jacobstow buried 28 May 1733 and Elizabeth daughter of Hugh BROOK buried 17 March 1733/34. Can anyone help me, please, with the name of the parish. Adrian
Hi Deborah and Joy, Thank you for your responses and I am sad to hear of the passing of the OPC for Colyton. My query would be about a specific surname that seems to only appear in two disparate parishes in early Devon, Colyton being one of them, so it would probably have been best asked of the person who did the research.
