    2. Hello Luisa. To find a living person there is a very good site: http://www.theukelectoralroll.co.uk. Fees vary according to the amount of information you have, but as you have forename and surname it would cost only £3.15 for a month of unlimited searches in the U.K. Geraldine

    3. Dear Ellie, I'm not searching these lines but I think you have 2 separate Thomas' & their marriages mixed up: Thomas ACKERMAN (sic) to Ann BUDDEN (widow) on 15 November 1825 at Bridport (not Broadwindsor) Witnesses: George P Curme & James House (The name Parker isn't mentioned). (Possibly Thomas ACKERMAN s/o Stephen & Sarah baptised on 1 January 1803 at Bridport) There is a separate marriage listed: Thomas AKERMAN (sic) to Ann PARKER by banns at Broadwindsor on 2 November 1823 Witness: John Bishop (There is no mention of this Ann being a widow). (Possibly Thomas AKERMAN s/o Samuel & Ann baptised on 13 April 1800 at Broadwindsor) It seems that this is your Ann - If so, there are the following baptisms listed: Ann PARKER d/o Henry & Sarah BUDDEN on 5 January 1795 @ Askerswell (Askerswell is about 4 miles from Bridport) Ann PARKER d/o John & Sarah BUDDEN in 1797 (day / month not given) @ Portesham (Portesham is about 10 miles from Bridport) (There is a marriage in 1819 for an Ann PARKER at Portesham - so if this is her, not your Ann) I take it that the birthdate of 1795 has been calculated from the 1841 census where she is with Thomas & children in Broadwinsor. However ages of adults on this census were rounded down to the nearest 5 years, so given an age of 45, she could have been born between 1792 - 1795. There is also the following (but both are a long way from Bridport): Ann PARKER d/o George & Elizabeth on 21 October 1795 at Sherborne Anne (sic) PARKER twin daughter of John & Jane PARKER on 4 September 1791 at Sturminster Newton There is a burial at Broadwinsor which I believe may be her: Ann AKERMAN (aged 46) buried on 10 January 1842 at Broadwinsor. This gives a birthyear of 1794/1795, making the baptism at Askerswell the most likely. Info: FMP (via Dorset FHS - taken from the parish records at Dorset History Centre) If you do manage to confirm that this is your Ann, then there appears to be only one other PARKER baptism at Askerswell which may be her sister: Mary d/o Henry & Sarah PARKER (of North Eggardon) on 3 March 1785 - Info: Dorset OPC site at www.opcdorset.org Regards Vanessa Dorset ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ellen Amabel Delaney" <liedd@btinternelet.com> To: <DORSET-L@rootsweb.com>; <dorsetlookups@fsmail.net> Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 5:47 PM Subject: [DOR] Ann Budden born 1796 marrked a parker and then thomas Akerman > hello everyone > > i wonder if anyone could help me i am trying to find out the parents and > sisters and brothers of an Ann Budden born about 1796.

I can't find Roxetta / Rosetta on the 1891 or 1901 census'. Is Ettie on the 1911 census - I can't find her doing a free search? It appears that Rosetta (sic) Mary BOWRING married in 1910.

    3. Richard Although in many cases private baptisms (or half-baptisms) were held when an infant was perhaps thought too weak to survive, this is not always the reason they were held. It became quite fashionable in the 19th Century, especially amongst the wealthier classes to request a private baptism, for perfectly healthy infants, and for them later to be received into the church.

    1. Re: [DOR] New Louen Poole Dorset
    2. Russell Ridout
    3. That certainly sounds feasible, Jim, given the note against the transcription that the records were badly faded. Vicki - there is another researcher investigating this line - have a look at http://ngb.chebucto.org/NGBRIF/nlgrif-j.shtml. Brian Fisher in Nova Scotia has a note of the marriage of Henry Willman (Welman) and Grace Janes. If you can still contact him, he may already have the information you need. I have however found a copy of a Return of Marriages showing information from the Register. This must have been produced post 1940, given the pre-printed partial date at the head of the form so is not contemporary with the marriage. There is no indication as to the reason for the Return being prepared so long after the period in question. This Return does quite clearly state 'New Town Pool.', but of course this is just the transcriber's belief as to what the original said. After 'Pool.' there is possibly 'Eng' or maybe 'Eny'. Looking at other letters I would suggest the former. I have sent a copy of the image (from http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html?datestamp=120466 1798765#w=0&p=waypoint&s=waypointsOnly&c=fs%3A1793777 - follow the Hermitage link in the left hand menu to page 35 in the Marriage scans) direct to Vicki, along with wife Grace's entry in the Death Index. The actual death records have yet to be scanned, so there is no further help here at present. I cannot see that the Marriage Register has been scanned by the LDS so possibly an approach to the Newfoundland Archives might prove fruitful (see http://www.therooms.ca/contacts.asp).

    1. Re: [DOR] Question re Baptisms and a thanks also
    2. Sandra J Smith
    3. Hi Richard, When a child was born and not expected to live, a baptism was conducted almost immediately either by the midwife or by the vicar. This was entered into the baptism register and usually marked (though not always) as a private baptism. Part of the normal baptism ceremony was for a child to be received into the church by the congregation, but of course this couldn't happen in this case. If the child survived, this latter part of the ceremony was conducted some weeks later and this is when you see baptisms marked as "received into the church". Of course this doesn't mean that the child didn't subsequently die. The only thing you can usually assume from such entries is that the child was probably born close to the first baptism date and was not expected to live. Hope this helps.

    1. Re: [DOR] Question re Baptisms and a thanks also
    2. HILARY BLANFORD
    3. Is the signature of the minister the same? I wonder if one of the churches was in a daughter parish at the time of the baptism, and they later became 2 separate parishes. It's not uncommon to see similar double entries in London registers and usually it is because the baptism has been performed in the church of St XXXX in the parish of St YYYY, or even in a chapel of rest within a parish. The 'received into' statement, as you probably know, occurs within the established church when a child is brought to church at a later date, having been privately baptised at home because he or she is not expected to live. Alternatively, were both churches C of E? Sometimes a non conformist churches is described as being within the parish of a C of E church because geographically that is where it was.
