Hello again, Sorry for the delay in getting back about my Symes family. This is my line as it stands at present. I have wills for the earlier Symes who appeared to have quite a bit of wealth. I do not know the surnames of some of the females so if anyone can fill that in I would be most grateful. Richard Symes dc1657/8 his wife was Thomasine, she outlived him. Thomas Symes dc1687 wife Anne John Anne baptised 1702 Ann had a son Benjamin 1720/21, no bastardy papers available. Benjamin m Rebecca John baptised 1752 m Ann Hansford Jane baptised 1791 Bridport married Heber/James Kenway at Burton Bradstock. One of the places mentioned in the wills was Stone Akers. If anyone is interested in any of the couples I do have other children to them, Allington is where they came from. Robyn

It is no more! It ran between West Street and West Quay Road, opposite what is now New Orchard. If you go to Google Maps it is roughly where the gap is between the left-hand side of "The Queen Mary" public house and the terrace of houses are at present. There was a public house on the corner of Fowler's Lane called the "The Old Inn" it may be the same place. Having done that and familiarised yourself with the location go to www.old-maps.co.uk and look on the 1888 Town Plans - Poole, Dorset 1:500 map where it is shown.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: jon17573 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.dor.general/6254.2.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Martha is recorded as born in Piddletown in 1861, Little Puddle in 1871, 1881 & 1901. Only in 1891 is her birth place given as Poole, probably an error by her son who was head of household. William is consistently shown as born in Poole except in 1901, when he is recorded as born in Little Puddle. FreeBMD suggests William (Edwin) was born in the Poole registration district, if he had been born in Puddletown, he would have more likely been registered in Dorchester. I would feel reasonably confident from the above that Martha was not born in Poole, but in Puddletown or Little Puddle. One possibility for the marriage of Martha to William Welch senior would be 1853 in Wareham District, if so her name may have been Ainsworth. Warehan district does include Bere Regis where William senior was born, but this could be a coincidence. In 1851 there is a Martha Ainsworth living in Bere Regis, though her birthplace is given as Stourpaine. I guess it is also possible that Ainsworth may not have been her maiden name, but her previous married name. I was hoping to find the marriage on the Dorset OPC, but no luck.

Rod, May be a coincident but the Dorset online catalogue has the following Poor Law removal order: <http://archives.dorsetforyou.com/adlibwebapp/(jxmmok454wv3gtruthle4d55)/dis patcher.aspx?action=detail&database=ChoiceArchive&priref=110033720&parentpri ref=110033720> Robert Saunders from Bradford Peverell (PE/HOW/OV 5/4/3) 24 May 1817 If this is your man then the orders often contain very useful information.

Hello In my original message - I forgot to state that I have access to the Biships Transcripts and the British Vital Records Index. The problem is that the year is missing in the Bishops Transcripts so that the parish register needs to be checked I need to verify that there is an entry I need to verify in the parish register - 21 June 1767 of a Jeane daughter of Richard Rawlings Thanks Beverly

Hi In my original request - I forgot to add that I have access to the British Vital Records Index and the Bishops transcripts. What I do not have access to are the parish register or the transcripts of the parish register: I need some help with finding a Richard Rawlings born about 1737 (could be plus or minus 5 years or so). I am doing an area search but do not have access to the Symondsbury parish register or extracts. Thanks Beverly

Dear Maddy, I haven't been able to find out if James Thornhill had any siblings, but it appears that his father Walter was at least one of eight. Taken from Dictionary of National Biography - Thornhill James (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Thornhill,_James_(DNB00) 'THORNHILL, Sir JAMES (1675-1734), painter, born in 1675 at Melcombe Regis, Dorset, was son of Walter Thornhill of Wareham, the eighth son of George Thornhill (or Thornhull) of Thornhill and Woolland in the same county. His mother was Mary, eldest daughter of Colonel William Sydenham, governor of Weymouth [q. v.], and niece of the famous physician, Thomas Sydenham [q. v.] His father, having dissipated his estate by extravagance, sent Thornhill as a boy to his great-uncle, Dr. Sydenham, in London, who placed him as pupil with Thomas Highmore [q. v.], the king's serjeant-painter, a Dorsetshire man and relative of the family. Thornhill was very industrious and made great progress in his art, so that he found himself able to travel on the continent and study the works of the Carracci, Nicolas Poussin, and other painters then in high repute. By them he was greatly influenced in his art, and he commenced to form a choice collection of their works.'

Dear Elaine, You may be interested in this: There is a photo circa 1910 of Bournemouth Central Gardens looking towards the Monte Dore Hotel ( now the Town Hall), which also shows the Richmond Hill Congregational Church (now United Reformed) on the right - see www.realbournemouth.com It shows just how beautiful Bournemouth was before mass development!!
