Hi ,i am still researching my Aunt's postcards and have advanced to 1947-48.During these two years my Aunt and Grandma(Hilda Boyt and Elsie Hand) lived together in Godmanstone, I have memories of this house, just.However the postal address is always simply 'Godmanstone,Dorset.I realise that back then the postman knew where everyone lived ,but where would i look now to identify which house and street it was.I have looked at every house on Google Street and none seems to be the one i remember.It is important to me to find it as i am trying to make a pictorial and documentary record of the cards ,with locations pictured ,as well as the senders and receivers biographical and photographical details where possible .Thank you ............ Shirley

(Info BIVRI) Elizabeth W KELVEY (sic) married Thomas JACKSON (a widower of Lyme Regis) by banns on 17 August 1834 at Melcombe Regis Witnesses: John MARTIN & Edward FOOKS (Info DorsetFHS via FMP) - This seems to be the daughter of the marriage below as Elizabeth McKELVY (sic) Snr is on the 1851 census with Thomas & Elizabeth and their family in Lyme Regis (Elizabeth's sister - Mary McKELVY is also residing there) or John MACELVEY (sic) & Elizabeth JACKSON married on 31 October 1797 at Lyme Regis, Dorset Witnesses: James & Mary TRAYTE Info - Dorset fhs via FMP John McKELVEY (aged 70) was buried at Melcombe Regis on 15 August 1836. Info - Dorset FHS via FMP (maybe this was Samuel's father?) Furthermore: There are 3 children baptised to a James & Harriet McKELVEY at Wyke Regis: Mary Ann McKELVEY on 8 October 1820 James Daniel McKELVIE (sic) on 17 February 1822 William James McKELVIE (sic) also on 17 February 1822 James Snr is noted as a Mariner / Sailor. Info - DorsetFHS via FMP William J McKELVEY was buried at Wyke Regis (sged 6 months) on 25 August 1822 and James McALVEY (sic) (an infant) was buried at Melcombe Regis on 30 May 1824. Info - DorsetFHS via FMP (maybe Samuel was related to James snr?) Being that there seems to be a connection between the McKELVEYs of Melcombe Regis & the JACKSONs of Lyme Regis - it might be worth checking the Lyme Regis area for any connection to Samuel. (Lyme Regis lies near the border with Devon, so it may be worth searching there also). Regards Vanessa Dorset Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi there, would there be a KELLY'S for bridport for the years 1821 - 1975 does anyone know please? Can you search it online do you of please? Thanks very much. Diane
Shirley, I suggest you start with KELLY's street directory for Dorset .... It came out every year until about 1975 ... it lists all inhabitants by name and address and also by street name and each person by house number in each street/road ... there will be copies for 1940-50 in the library in Dorchester and also in the Dorset History centre ..... hope this helps ... Peter Hammett PS .... Perhaps some one could do a lookup if you cannot get to Dorchester .. l

I know he lived in Weymouth, Melcombe Regis, Wyke Regis. I've got all his children, and his wife, Ann Syms.
