Hello Royston, Yeates Road, Portland is still there, it runs from New Ground to Easton Lane , just to the west of Old Hill. If you follow the old no through road which wraps around the Heights Hill (where the war memorial stands opposite the Heights Hotel), there are 5 properties which are The Old Rectory, Priory, Old Hill House, Vindells and Pitt Hayes Cottage. Unfortunately Google Street only allows you to the first two properties which are not easy to see because of the trees. (Iit is a private road and becomes a bit of n overgrown lane). Are these the ones you are looking for? There is a 1892 map of the area, showing the properties (at that time) on www.old-maps.co.uk/maps The area was known as Verne Yeates and the Rectory and Priory are shown along with the smithy. I hope this helps, Regards Vanessa Dorset ----- Original Message ----- From: "Royston Clarke" <royston@clarke9376.freeserve.co.uk> To: <dorset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2010 12:24 PM Subject: [DOR] Yeats on Portland > Some of the 19th Century censuses of Portland show that there were people > who lived in the Yeats district of the Island.

Some of the 19th Century censuses of Portland show that there were people who lived in the Yeats district of the Island. I recall that, years ago, my mother told me that an ancestor was a blacksmith there. I know of the Rectory there, which was a restaurant/hotel in the 1940's, and recall a derelict building that I associated with the stone industry. Does anyone know where the houses were, or of any old maps which show houses there, please? Did the area of Yeats cover Easton Lane? In my younger days I walked through the area many times, but usually at night and somewhat weary after climbing Old Hill. Any help at all would be much appreciated. Regards Royston Clarke

I am re-visiting my Spicer ancestors in Dorset and I am trying to find the birth and baptism record of Stephen Spicer born circa 1800 at Winfrith Newburgh, died,circa 1882 at Preston and was buried on the 9th March 1882 at Preston, Dorset. In the 1841 to 1871 census Stephen was living and working as a master carpenter in Osmington, but stated that he was born in Winfrith Newburgh. Can anyone help with his baptism record in Winfrith Newburgh, I have searched all the available records, to no avail. Am I missing something. Thank you for any help that you can offer.

Apparantly, it was because some of the LDS church were only interested in the female lines (because they could 'prove' descent for their practice of baptising relatives). Maybe, the record for Albert hasn't been transcried / filmed? Regards Vanessa Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
