Thank you to all who replied to my email re James TANSWELL transported from Dorset. I have all the information available in Australia, it is anything from his life in Dorset I am trying to find. Thanks again Robyn

I would like to thank Harvey for the steer towards Maiden Newton. My brother has since been to the Dorset Archives and extracted all the Mabey (plus variants) references in the parish registers. The fact that the family seem to disperse after 1709 when both parents died within a week of each other, that the father was a miller by trade and there is a brother called Bernard, makes me 99% certain this this correct family. Now I have to find John and Mary's marriage and John's baptism. Thank you Harvey.

Dear Rose Thank you for your clear thinking. I got a bit bogged down and stupid with it! I had sorted out her brother Elijah (transcribed on 2 censuses as Eliza(h)) and had sorted that out only to overlook Ann Eliza (transcribed as Aunelia! by Ancestry in 1861).

Hi Robyn, I have not come across James yet. I have been transcribing some prison registers (Dorchester) for the past few years but have only reached 1820. Having said that I have done some work on the Swing Riots and the perpetrators were tried and transported in 1830 but Tanswell was not amongst them. I will keep an eye out for him and let you know if/when I find anything more.

Hi Linda Thanks for trying to put me straight! this is the third time I have tried to make sense of this bit of tree, there is always something to trip me up -- I will get there eventually: It's interesting to hear Henry went to Australia, I had assumed he died, as I couldn't trace him. I can say that James wife was Sabina MOORE (though I like Sabrina Moon very much) -- this bit I am sure that I have right as they are my 3x great grandparents. Her name tripped me up a lot in the early days, with many varieties. Christel --- > > > Hi Christel and Group > > I have David Legg in my family tree.

My 8th Great Grand Father, Roger Morey, immigrated to America in 1628 aboard the Abigail which sailed from Weymouth, June 20th. He was born 18 May 1610, Drimpton, Broadwinsor Parish, Dorset. He apparently returned to England, probably the Isle of Wight, and then immigrated again in 1630 aboard one of the ships of the Winthrop Fleet, which sailed from Yarmouth. Much of what I have set forth can be verified by various sources. However, I have found the following ancestry of Roger which cannot be verified: Thomas Mowry b. 15 April 1578, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire Elizabeth Thomas b. abt 1588, Cadney, Lincolnshire m. abt 1608 London, Middlesex Nicholas Mowry b. 1604, Hampshire George Mowry b. 1606, Gloucestershire Roger Morey b. 18 May 1610, Drimpton, Dorset George Mowry b. 1550, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, d. 1642 Elizabeth Rogers b. 1549, Pools, Dorset, d. 24 Dec 1612 Salisbury, Wiltshire m. 18 May 1573, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire Thomas Mowry. b. 15 April 1578, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire Mowery b. 1524, Biddenden, Kent Elizabeth Fuller b. 1528, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire George Mowry b. 1550 Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire Can someone suggest sources that I might research to determine the accuracy or inaccuracy of this information.

Hi Robyn, If you go to Lesley Uebel site http://www.claimaconvict.net/index.html the free site is 'Claim a convict' you will find Tanswell James, 1830, Burrell, Dorchester 1830, Sentence Life, age 21.

Hi Maddy I have an ancestor who was transported to Australia. His name is James Tanswell, he was tried in 1830 and transported the same year on the Burrell II.

I just looked at the 1861 census on Ancestry and the family are transcribed incorrectly as Daniel & Jane. Zooming in shows Anniliza as Ann eliza and Daniel as David. Rose.

Have you looked at the census on Dorset opc site. There is a David & Jane Legg on the Burton Bradstock census 1861 that have a dau Anniliza born c1851. Are you certain about her birth, bapt can be many years later. Rose

Christel Eliza Ann Legge baptized Glanvilles Wootton 6 Sep 1857, same day as her older sister Virginia. They were recorded as daughters of William Legge and Elizabeth nee Kingsbury. (Source Dorset OPC, my own transcriptions). Virginia was born Jun Qtr 1856 (Dorchester), Eliza Ann Jun Qtr 1857 (Dorchester) (FreeBMD). In 1861 Virginia is recorded at home in Glanvilles Wootton with William and Elizabeth, but no sign of Eliza Ann. However there is a death recorded in Dorchester in Sep 1857 for Eliza Ann Legg. Would need to check Death Cert to find out age. There is no burial recorded in Glanvilles Wootton that matches this, so cannot be sure that this is the same Eliza Ann. If it is it does not explain the Ann Eliza recorded in nearby Holwell in 1861, recorded as daughter of Oliver Jeanes. For the Leggs of Burton Bradstock, you would expect to find them recorded in Bridport Reg District, but there is not a birth that would match Anneliza Legg at the appropriate time. Hope this helps a little Jon Baker Dorset OPC Co-ordinator -----Original Message----- By some weird chance I already have an Ann Eliza LEGG c 1858 (but born Wootton Glanville -- where I cannot find a baptism) in my tree, in 1861 she is the "daughter" of Oliver JEANES and his wife Matilda KNELL (married 1852). She has always puzzled me. I assumed she was Oliver's child from an affair/fling but that Matilda agreed to take her on, having had no children of her own -- however she is not with them subsequently. Christel
