Derek you asked ... 'I am looking for a burial of a Eliza WAY baptised 7th February 1819 in Athelhampton. Eliza was the daughter of William & Ann WAY; They had a daughter Elizabeth WAY baptised at Athelhampton 13 October 1822. I'm assuming that Eliza died in the meantime.' .... I have numerous families in which the parents named different daughters Eliza and Elizabeth, with neither having died. It may therefore be the case that Eliza WAY did not die prior to Elizabeth's birth. That being the case you may care to consider a burial of an Eliza WAY at Milborne St Andrew which took place on 22 June 1837 when the person involved was aged 19. Duncan, Dundee

You should be able to find this information via the Australian Joint Copying Project. Your state library will be able to point you in the right direction. Have you looked on the Queensland State Library site?

Hi Everyone, Is there SKS going to Dorchester Record Office soon and could do a look up please? I am looking for a burial of a Eliza WAY baptised 7th February 1819 in Athelhampton. Eliza was the daughter of William & Ann WAY; They had a daughter Elizabeth WAY baptised at Athelhampton 13 October 1822. I'm assuming that Eliza died in the meantime. Best Wishes, Derek WAY

I have a Thomas Sweetnam and wife Jane who (from handed down history) lived in the Dorset/Somerset area from about 1800 to 1820. I do not have enough children listed from that time period for a normal couple so they probably had and lost some. The legend was they at they were around the Weymouth area but Weymouth records did not exist that early and they were a part of Wyke Regis who does not have a listing of an Sweetnams during that time period. Does anyone have knowledge of this family and any baptisms that may exist? By the way - they were from Warbleton, Sussex and why they were in Dorset - I have no idea - but they finally left England in 1820 to immigrate to South Africa where they died and their children came to the USA. Her daughter Ruth did not record any children born between 1803 and 1812 - and lists the others the earliest ones as "of Weymouth" and the later ones as "of Sittingbourne, Kent" but I haven't found baptisms there either. Maybe they just did not go to church!! Thanks Beverly

Hello, I'm hoping that someone may be able to help finding where my great grandparents are buried. The information I have is from their death certificates and we haven't been able to find a headstone at either St. George's or St. John's. Humphrey Hinde born abt. 1836 Portland and died 7 Sep 1913 at the Workhouse Infirmary, Weymouth. Elizabeth Jane Hinde (nee Winter) born 30 Dec 1841 Portland and died 13 Feb 1935 1 Wyke Road, Weymouth, which I believe was the workhouse where Humphrey died. My second query is for any information about the death of Sarah Humphreys (nee Hinde). Sarah married Henry Geer Humphreys on 2 Nov 1892 at the Register's Office in Weymouth. Henry was born abt. 1859 in Westhampnett, Sussex. I've found 3 children of this union and they are: Henry Thomas Humphreys born abt 1893, Silvertown, London Dorothy Helen Humphreys born abt. 1896, Gosport, Hampshire Ernest Alfred Humphreys born abt. 1897, Gosport, Hampshire Any help would be most greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Richard Hinde Louisa, Virginia

Hi Catherine Thanks for your reply. I have an ancestor called Philadelphia too - that was what got my interest. I think you may have hit on a theme because my ancestor was also a Romany. She was Philadelphia Weston - part of the famous fairground family. Perhaps the name was part of the Romany culture more than mainstream society. Just a thought ! Pete

Hello Ellen, I can't find a Thomas BARTLETT / BARTLET at Marshwood, but have found the following baptism: Thomas BARTLET (sic) s/o John & Mary BARTLET on 1 June 1800 @ Bettiscombe. Bettiscombe is less than a mile from Marshwood. Maybe this is him? I see from the 1841 census that his first two children are John & Mary - possibly named after his parents? A Thomas BARTLET (sic) married an Elizabeth / Elisibeth (sic) WILMOT by banns on 12 December 1826 @ Broadwindsor Witnesses: Daniel & John BISHOP Their children (all baptised at Broadwindsor) appear to be: Mary (11 July 1830), Joseph (also 11 July 1830), Jane (25 April 1832), Sarah ( 20 July 1834), Geturah (27 June 1836), Susan (27 May 1838) and Joseph (28 June 1840). If you think it is him there is a brother: John BARTLETT s/o John & Mary BARTLETT on 23 May 1802 @ Bettiscombe and possible other siblings?

hello I wonder if anybody could help me i am trying to find out the birth date of Thomas Bartlett born at Marshwood around 1801. Could somebody check the records for me and see when this was, or alternatively is somebody researching that Bartlett line and might know this birth date. Thank you kind regards ellen

hello Thanks for your note i am just trying to research the bartlett line myself my great great great grandmother being Susanna Bartlett born 1784 at beaminister Dorset. It looks like you have gone back a long way. That sounds interesting about DNA testing. A lot of our ancestors did go to america but i do not know if it was our Bartlett line. I think there is a Thomas Bartlett connected to us born 1801 broadwindsor.

First let me say thanks to everybody who responded with such helpful comments and advice. I sent an email message to the Wiltshire & Swindon Archives to confirm just what they have for Poole, and have received the following response: "The BTs cover the years 1802-1880 (mariages to 1837)" So unfortunately it appears that early (such as pre-1700) Bishops Transcripts for Poole do not survive. - David.

Is the child registered in the same district as the baptism? I think that Andrew might have been his middle name as there doesn't appear to be a marriage registration for Andrew JEFFS to a Mary. I can't find Andrew & Mary on the 1911 census either, did they emigrate? It was customary (where possible) to marry in the bride's parish and sometimes to baptise the first child there also. (The only Andrew JEFFS marriage registered in 1906 is to a Hannah KAY in Warwick District - They are together on the 1911 census in Warwick without any children (not surprising as he is 50 and she is 55.)

As other listers have stated, the only Bishop Transcripts are from 1802 or so it says on the LDS film which I have looked at previously for my relations in Poole. BUT the transcripted pages are of very poor quality and very muddled for approx. the first 20 yrs and many entries are illegible. After that they are quite good. There are no BT prior to those dates. As another lister stated FindMyPast would be your best chance unless you ever travel to Dorchester and the Records centre.
