I have in my tree an Elizabeth SPRACKLING. She married Emanuel CHANNING at Sydling St. Nicholas on 13th April 1810. I note that she had died by the time of the 1841 census. Apart from that, I regret I have not been able to find out anything more about her. Elaine McLean Mission, BC, Canada

For example, I didn't know about the larceny conviction, so thanks for that. Yes, the larcenist might have been George (Tailor of Powerstock for about 60 years) born Toller Porcorum 5 Oct 1809. [He was my 3c 3r.] In the 1841 C he was SPRACKLAND, '51, '61 & '71 SPRANKLIN, '81 SPRACKLING and death registered in 1890 as SPRACKLIN. Equally he could have been George SPRANKLYN bap. 13 Nov 1808 Wareham. Now why did so many leave Dorset for Hampshire? Undoubtedly the employment opportunities in the dockyards of Southampton and Portsmouth were much more attractive than living on a pittance as an Ag Lab in Dorset. The advent of the railway obviously made it very much easier for them. My g. gf. Isaac was born in Loders in 1819 and worked all over S. Dorset as a Farm Bailiff, probably on annual contracts. He moved to the New Forest c.1860 and spent the last 30 years of his life at Battramsley Farm, Boldre. When he died in 1893 he left £39 2s. so moving to Hampshire didn't guarantee you'd make a fortune! Regards, Michael Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Ann, Portsmouth Dockyard would have been going through a period of expansion. Ropemakers would have been in demand for ship rigging perhaps? Stonemason's would always be in demand where large building work was being carried out? I've found the Portsmouth Dockyard history site www.portsmouthdockyard.org.uk/Page3.htm which may be of help.

I would also be interested in why families went to Hampshire - particularly Portsea/Portsmouth. I had ancestors on two lines who went from Poole in one case and Lytchett Matravers in another to Portsea. One lot then moved to Fawley - they were there by 1841 so it was presumably not the trains that took them. He was a stonemason. The other ancestor who went to Portsea was a ropemaker.

Also, there is a baptism for Mary Eliza SPRANKLIN on 19 December 1839 @ Wareham to George & Anne SPRANKLIN (Info Ancestry) - named after her Grandmother? Her death is registered in Dec 1/4 1840 Wareham District (as Mary Eliza SPRANKLING)- INFO Freebmd. She was buried at Lady Mary on 9 October aged just 10 mths (info Dorset OPC) You didn't mention her in your posting. Furthermore, there is also an entry in the County Assizes records on 12 March 1845 as follows: George SPRANKLIN - aged 35 - Larceny - Imprisonment 2 months. (may be your George or another born in Toller Porcorum) I see Michael has also responded to you - he is the 'expert' on all things SPRANKLIN / SPRACKLING & variations, so may be able to help you further.

However, there was a lot of maritimee & trading connections along the South Coast from Wareham via Poole to Portsea, so they may have travelled by sea or gone across what was then Bourne Heath via Poole & Christchurch and then over the New Forest to Southampton and on to Portsea (probably on foot or by horse & cart). Where were the children born / baptised? - it might give a clue as to the route they took, (if they didn't go straight there), but I suspect they were offered work in the area & took it up and you are correct with your push / pull theory.

I have Ann's marriage to George & I know she had 3 children before then - Maria B 1827 D 1828, Lavinia B 1832 D 1868, George B 1837 D 1896 Portsea. Ann's 1st husband William Courtney (she married him as Ann Parker in Wool)died in 1833 so Geo was not his son but had the surname Courtney. Ann M Geo Sprankling in 1839 so Geo may or may not have been biologically his. In later years Geo B 1837 uses the name Sprankling on census records & Courtney on certificates. I was looking for George Courtney so it was a long time before I got a breakthrough & linked Sprankling & Courtney (from County Assize records). So for other researchers be aware people may use several names. Getting the link is a matter of luck. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Mary BURDEN 4 Dec 1800 Lady St Mary's, Wareham. So she is presumably the widow aged 74 in the 1851 Census and also appears in the 1841 and 1861 Censuses. She may have been the d. of Thomas BURTON & Mary FALL, m. 24 May 1773 Lady St Mary's, Wareham. However, I don't know where John came from. He had died before 6 Jun 1841. He may have been a brother of George SPRANKLIN who died Dec qtr 1838 Wareham &c district, VIII 79. and bur. 25 Oct 1838 Lady Mary's, Wareham, aged 62. Descendants of John & Mary moved to Southampton and I have them on file through to the present day. SPRANKLIN(G) is a variant of SPRACKLING and was found mainly in SE Dorset before migrants left for Southampton and the Isle of Wight. The earliest examples I have of SPRANKL~ are Rowman bap. 14 Oct 1610 Warminster, s. of Rowman SPRANKLIN & Annes JOANES and Robert bap. 24 Apr 1615 Fordington, Dorset, s. of John SPRANKLYN. Having said that, the spelling was essentially that of t! he local clerk. My great grandfather died as Isaac SPRACKLING having been variously spelt during his lifetime. He had seven children each baptised in different parishes in Dorset and Hampshire and each spelt differently. With an unfamiliar name spoken by an illiterate in a strong Dorset accent it's not surprising that the clerk just wrote down what he heard.
