Survival rate is patchy. You might do better to find out about the local newspapers that covered the place you are interested in, and take a trip to the local studies library where a microfilm copy would be held of the newspaper concerned. Local newspapers liked to report on anything juicy like a coroner's inquest, so if it was a strange and violent death, maybe a murder even, there would be a good chance of it being reported locally.

I'm a great-granddaughter of this Henville family, currently located in Sydney. Would be most appreciated if you had any information you feel would be of interest on the Henvilles while they were in Dorset. I have the family tree from the 1400s, but am a bit light on anecdotes for any generations prior to their arrival in Australia. Also, I'm trying to establish whether the Henvilles are related to Sir Constantine Phipps. 'Constantine' and 'Phipps' are Christian and middle names that feature in the tree semi-often and am wondering if there's any evidence for this link.

Goodmorning Dorset Listers, As the F.Historian I have been asked by a brother of my late husband (half brother) if I would undertake seeking out his mother's family, and of course who would not be delighted so to do? The mother is a Flora Dorothy BEALE, born 25th December 1908, Wyke Regis (according to 1911 Census). It is her mother I am stuck at ... we have Grandfather William Beale married to Annie .... ah there's the rub !! Annie was born in Jersey and I have no way of knowing her maiden name, as only a short certificate is held by the family. Thus I am hoping for a marriage, but did she marry in Jersey or Dorset. I am subscribed to two Genealogy sites but unable to find one or baptisms - Dorset does not seem to well endowed on either site. If I know they did not marry in Dorset them I will need to go on bended knees to Jersey Archives, really do not know which way to jump ... not that my old knees would do that these days. William BEALE, born 1870, Wyke Regis Annie Beale (nee??) born 1872, Jersey Son James Beale, born1904,Wyke Regis Flora Dorothy Beale, born 1908, Wyke Regis On the 1911 Census under "Married" for Annie says "Married 13 years" So a possible year of marriage ... 1898. Thanks to any lister who has had the patience to read my plea !! (Done on bended kees ...) Renee - Oz.

Christel What was the home Parish of the mother? Very often, right up to at least mid 1950s (Nineteen Fifties), it was common practise for the first child to be baptised in the home Parish of the mother. This was partly due to the fact that the wife "went home to mother" for the birth. There was no NHS and "Mother knows best".

But mostly Ag Labs Happy Hunting

Dear Vanessa Thanks for your reply. I had thought that might be the case but wasn't sure -- I don't know why she would be baptised in Tarrant Rushton though, I only found the baptism by accident! I had a break for a couple of hours and something kept niggling me about the 1891 Frances Down marriage; eventually I realised that one of the possible grooms Frederick Augustus Bowring shared a surname with the man who married one of Frances's daughters! It turned out that she married this man but unfortunately died a year later in Lambeth (where he remarried soon afterwards!). Now my biggest problem is tracing this Frederick Augustus Bow(e)ring; found his birth, and baptism in Puncknowle, and his three marriages (although the third is a bit difficult due to an input error on freereg, but I'm sure a bit of digging will sort that out); but finding him in any census so far is impossible.

Hello Renee, Have you by any chance seen the marriage in SEPT 1897 between WILLIAM JAMES BEALE and ANNIE ELIZABETH QUEEN at WEYMOUTH ref 5a 611. This would fit all the criteria, including using James as their son's name. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that this is what you may be looking for !!!

Well, the original poster asked if Clara were a nickname. The answer is that in and of itself, no. Lots of people, however, dislike their given name(s) and use another. For whatever reason, my kinsman, Philip Martin Large was always known as Dick. Some people might have ended up thinking his name was Richard. Similarly my great-aunt, Miss Amy Clarissa Roberts of Ferndowne, Dorset, is known to our part of the family as Aunt Clarrie, but to our London cousins as Aunt Janey. Some of them thought her name was Jane until I disabused them of that. So in the poster's instance,for all we know, Clara may have been a nickname.

Hello Peter, According to the Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names, Clara is not a nickname. Although the name at certain times is also known as Clarus & Claire, but you should have already picked this up if it presented itself. It is a very old name first appearing in the 13th century.

Hi Listers To all those who responded to my cry for help about 'Clara' - a big THANK YOU. After a lot of searching I have the answer - it was a proper name, and have located her. The reason why I couldn't find her is that I was searching LancsBMD/FreeBMD under the name of my g/uncle Tom DUERDEN. I eventually found a marriage under Tom DURDEN married to Clara BLACKWELL - rather later than I expected. I will have to spend the evening with my feet up - very sore from kicking myself !!
