Hi Michelle, I would think the most likely, would be a journey on horseback, or on a horsedrawn cart or carriage, depending on how wealthy a merchant seaman he was. However, many people made long journeys on foot in those days.

Hi, Any waterborne journey from Poole to Bath would involve several hundred miles rounding the Lizard (Lands End) and I would imagine unless there was a specific reason for a boat to travel between these two destinations it would be avoided. Cornwall was a "wreckers coast" which is more a reflection of meteorological and tidal conditions in the English and Bristol channels than a slur on Cornishmen. A paddle steamer would get you as far as Bristol and I'm not sure how navigable the Avon was from Bristol to Bath. A journey by "road" would probably follow the present A350 to Trowbridge via Blandford and Shaftesbury which would have been hilly from Blandford northwards. The railway in Poole reached Hamworthy in 1847. The lines to Bath were constructed in the 1850s and 1860s (see Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway history for more). It's a 59 mile walk.

Iain & others, This line doesn't fit with my YEATMAN's. Mine start at Robert YEATMAN b. 1805 Morden then migrate their way to Creekmoor for the birth of his (3) sons, Titus Alfred b. 1850, Silas b. 1852, and Jesse Samuel b. 1854. Then Silas comes to Longfleet, Poole for the birth of his children, one of whom was my maternal grandmother. In my YEATMAN line related surnames are CLARKE, FANCY, GILES, INGS, KENDALL, MERCHANT, OLIVER & RUSSELL. My line does not appear to be related to those who emigrated to Newfoundland or to the area of Calgary AB CAN or to others who resided in DOR either. Grrr! I too am still looking for connections to the rest of you.

Michelle Unlikely. much quicker by road. Take a look at google. Google Maps POOLE directions to BATH. Zoom out and see the distance by boat - down the English Channel, round Cornwall, up the Bristol Channel to Weston, Portishead or Bristol, thence by road to Bath.

Hi all I have recently discovered that my ancestors travelled from Poole to Bath, Somerset at some point in 1841 as my merchant seaman ancestor must have been working nearby and one of their children was born in Bath. I have read that the railways did not reach Poole until much later so I wondered if the journey would more than likely have taken place via paddle steamer from Poole to somewhere near Bath and approximately how long the journey would have taken? Any info. would be gratefully received. Kind regards Michelle Connolly

Sorry, I haven't come across this YEATMAN line either. Liz Pass

Whilst of no direct help, one of my Gover ancestors left Dorset in the 1840s and moved to Norfolk from where his large family spread down into London. Rumour has it that Manoah walked there and found work on the railways. As I have built my tree, it is amazing to see the massive migration of people from the southern counties to the midlands and the north as the huge depression following the end of the Napoleonic wars, etc. My Vincent ggggrandather ended up in Sunderland (from Melcombe Horsey) and my wife's Dando and Burchill lines both moved from Somerset to The Black Country. Lots of people emigrated to the Colonies and it is hard to imagine the upheaval in village life between 1830 and 1860. In the 1841 census, there were dozens of Vincents in Dewlish, and by 1891 the name had almost disappeared. It may be that he just left to find work? Good luck, Malcolm -----Original Message----- From: dorset-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dorset-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of IHPARSONS@aol.com Good evening, list! A big 'Thank you' to everyone who made suggestions about Stephen, a Dorset Ag. Lab, who went to Norfolk and there wooed, married and had a daughter in the 1850s. There were some interesting remarks, but nothing which could pin down the reasons for his making so long (and arduous) a trip in the middle of the 19th century. He doesn't seem to have been in the army, there was no railway activity in Banningham at that time and nothing has suggested that he might have been sent as a representative of his Dorset employer. There is one thing which might have a slight bearing — someone offered that his wife might have been in service in the area of Hinton Martell. She, (Ann ELDEN) was a cook in Sussex in 1851, but I haven't been able to connect her with Dorset. Iain, in Brampton, Cumbria.

Malcolm, Thank you for your comments. Stephen went to Norfolk, but then returned to Hinton Martell where the rest of his family was born. He died there in 1883, but Ann remained there for another 25 years, finally leaving this mortal coil in 1908! Iain

Dear Listers, It appears that I am descended on my great-grandmother's side of the family from a connection with Mary YEATMAN (3 January 1626/7 - 23.12.1706) and William CASTLEMAN who married at Hinton St. Mary in 1649. Mary was the daughter of MORGAN YEATMAN, who in turn was the son of THOMAS YEATMAN (1555 - 1617). In view of the recent correspondence on this site about the YEATMAN name, is anyone able to cast any more light on this distant people, Mary's possible siblings and the further descendants of the Yeatman family? All I have are the names of the people who directly lead into my tree. Any help gratefully received and acknowledged! Iain, Brampton, Cumbria.

Dear Debbie, I was checking my old e-mails and came across your request. I was wondering whether George HANNINGTON was actually HARRINGTON / HERRINGTON There are several Harrington / Herrington entries in the late 19th Century in Dorset The Herrington family lived on Cranborne Chase and had most of their children baptised ? married at Pentridge. It might be worth checling these out?

Iain Perhaps the link is actually in Sussex. Maybe Ann was cook for a family who had Dorset connections, and Stephen and Ann met "by chance" in Sussex.

Thanks, Jon and Liz. That's very useful information as we are coming (from Australia) to England at the end of the month and are keen to have a look around the area, and now we know that Henley, where they lived, is the most important place for us to see. I have quite a lot of information about them from census etc. I haven't found baptisms for them, so quite probably they were baptised at the Baptist Chapel in Henley. I see my great grandparents were married in the Independent Chapel at Cerne Abbas so the Baptist Chapel would make sense. I don't think my lot are your, Jon, as we don't have any Battens and Russells as far as I know. All the best.

I have researched this line. I descend from Emanuel's brother, Thomas Mabey (wife Esther Chalker). If you have not already had your questions answered, I have that Frances Mabey married Frederick Augustus Bowring in DecQ,1891 after her first husband, Charles Down, died earlier that year. She, then died in SepQ,1892. Charles Down and Frances had seven children. I would be happy to supply any other information that I have.

Good morning Dorothy, My Yeatman line comes from Buckland Newton too (and I have a large database on them). Henley is a small group of houses less than a mile from BN church. The parish of Buckland Newton is quite large, and there are many small clusters of cottages each with their own identity. So it would be appear that your grandfather was born in the parish of BN at Henley, rather than the actual village. Best wishes, Liz Pass
