Hi all, I am looking for information for Dinah HANSFORD born about 1700 parents and place unknown. She married Nicolas BAGG 28 March 1725 at Askwerwell and had at least one child Samuel in 1725 also at Askerwell. Dinah died between 1725 and 1728 I am happy to share any information about any families but would appreciate some advice or to connect with anyone who has Dinah in their family. Thanks Margot Qld, Australia Researching in Dorset: BRETT/BRITT, VINCENT, MOULAIN, BAGG, DRAKE HANSFORD, FRAMPTON, CHANNING WHITE, ALLEN

Thank you Mark -- I have found one of my ancestors in your list!

The website address is www.dorsetdci.com - easy to remember as "dci" means "Death Certificate Index". As of today there are details from 400 certificates. Obviously 400 is only a drop in the ocean.

I'm including everything on the certificate apart from the name of the registrar and the date of registration. The search facility means you can search for the name of the deceased, the occupation, place of death, cause of death and details of the "informant" (the person who reported the death).

My own interest is sickness and poverty in the 1850s but I thought I'd cast the net a bit wider to make the site more useful to other people. I'm interested in the diseases people *lived* with and not just the ones they died of. Some certificates give information about how long individuals had their particular illness before they died - there are some examples of people being ill for 15 or 20 years.

Some sad news - many years ago when I had web site for this ARNOLD family [15 years] I was contacted by Father Leo ARNOLD and and we have corresponded ever since - He even sent me photos of the day he met the pope which I have put in my Arnold book I am so sad - I have details about him of anyone wants them - his great grandmother was a Milton Abbas Arnold I did not know he died until this morning when his email and card came back - LEO ARNOLD SJ RIP Tags: Leo Arnold; RIP 03 Jul 2017 Your prayers are asked for the repose of the soul of Fr Leo Arnold SJ. Leo died peacefully early yesterday morning (Sunday 2nd July 2017) in the infirmary of the Peter Canisius community in Rome. He had been suffering from cancer for some time, and his condition had gradually deteriorated over the last few months. He was 88 years old, and had been a Jesuit for 70 years. Leo was born in Boscombe, Dorset, on 14th February 1929. He was educated at St Peter's school in Southbourne, and entered the Jesuit novitiate in Roehampton on 7th September 1946. His philosophy and theology studies took place in Heythrop College in Oxfordshire, with a regency teaching at Mount St Mary's. He was ordained in Heythrop on St Ignatius day in 1958, and then, after a fourth year of theology, made his tertianship at Tronchiennes in Belgium. He next took a BA in Arabic studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London and, in 1962, was sent to Beirut, where he spent the next 13 years teaching English language and Arabic studies, and as university chaplain. In 1975 he had to return to London because of the civil war in Lebanon. In London he worked at Heythrop, as sub-minister and later minister, and as assistant editor of the Heythrop Journal. When, in 1979, it was decided that he was unlikely to be able to return to Lebanon in the foreseeable future, he was assigned to the Biblicum in Rome, where he taught Arabic and Greek during the next three decades. He retired from teaching in 2009, and moved into the Canisius retirement community in 2015. Funeral arrangements will be made in the coming days. May he rest in peace.

Catherine James and Ann Bush seem to have baptised several children in Gussage All Saints in the late 1790s up until 1806, Anne, George, Sarah, Henry and Briant. Then William was baptised in Cranborne in November 1810. So it would seem that James and Ann were on the move before Diana was born. There is a reference also to James being from Holwell, but there are no Bush baptisms there. It may well be that in the process of moving Diana's baptism was overlooked. I think non-conformity is unlikely, given all of the above baptisms, but of course a possibility. You may want to continue to trawl through Parish Registers of surrounding parishes, starting from Cranborne, but I think you may well be looking in vain unfortunately. I'm sure you have tried, but consider searching for Dinah rather than Diana, it was the more usual spelling at the time. Where did you find Henry Ferret living with James and Ann in 1841? I can't locate that record.

I believe it was not a requirement to register baptisms until 1837. Initially the parish required the baptism in order to qualify for parish poor relief, if needed in the future. Some baptisms were not carried out until much later , depending on the location. Also it may be at this time it was in a none conformists establishment , so records may be thin on the ground for them. Again according to the location . Does it say on the 1841/ 1851 their place of birth? Also it's worth trawling for just ' Diana ' in this location and period in case of a mistake in transcription.

Thanks Juno.  I should have said 1851 census not 1841.  James, Ann and Henry were all born Guss. All Saints.  I did respond to Jon but didn't hit "reply list".

Bryan Phillips wrote to me, after I had written to him :- -------------------------------- I am the secretary to the local history group. We have some information on the ARNOLD family in Milton Abbas in the 17th and 18th centuries. A descendant of the Arnolds is a member of our group and has researched his family. We have never heard of the "Aisle of Jesus" in Milton Abbey Church. We would be interested to know where you came across this. Transcriptions of the memorial stones inside the Abbey, are available in the RCHME Dorset, Vol II Central, but there are no Arnold's there. The naming of Milton Abbey, Middleton and Milton Abbas is explained in detail in Dorset Place Names, A D MIlls, Part 3. We have no record of St Nicholas Church in Milton Abbas - please provide us with a reference. Please have a look at our website for more information. https://miltonabbashistorygroup.com I hope this has answered some of your questions. Do you have any information for us, e.g. family tree?

Someone wrote but has not signed their name Hello Jill I was interested in your query and about the use of DNA in your family search of a particular geographical area like Dorset. How precise is such a test.? I thought they could only give you general locations .Have you been able to match up actual proven family members? My reply I would be delighted to tell you my experience I first had my brothers DNA test done with FHDNA - Family History DNA- 2 years ago because I want to do the ARNOLD of Dorset YDNA line only-they had a Family names section so I concentrated only on ARNOLD I got hundreds of matches but the test shows 15 strong matches with a Moses Arnold Line which lead back to Thomas ARNOLD born 1645 Rappahannock Virginia he married Grace DOYLE - this is not surprising as this FHDNA is an American company and Ancestry had not begun by this time. But I also got just as many with William ARNOLD and Christian PEAKE Line - William ARNOLD was the son of [they all say] Thomas or Nicholas and one says Thomas Walter ARNOLD which makes me smile This was a surprise to me because my line never left Dorset until 1859 when Robert Arnold of Winterborne Kingston and Eliza HOOK left for Tasmania. I contacted every single one of my matches from 1st - 8th generation [over 200] and have gotten matches with every single line of ARNOLD that ever went to America - The trouble with some of them they make their trees private and if you can't see their oldest family member you can connect to your tree? Please unlock your trees or at least just put your oldest relative so we can connect or not? Hardly any in matches for Dorset at all - except one I knew from Tasmania and one who descended from William ARONOLD c1820 in Cheselbourne- who I also know about before. But this was positive to begin with Now [2 months ago] I had my own DNA done with Ancestry- the result is a little different - because I am a woman - I have the same result with Ancestry - a lot of American Connections but again all over the place - The reason for this is I think People are doing the wrong trees- but that is just what I think - I cant tell them I think something is wrong with your research - I did this in a nice way and got thrown off a list - so I will not do that again - let them eat cake I say Anyway I have had several Matches in Dorset with ARNOLD lines and again they are all my lines and they match my trees- INKPIN or INKPEN line, SHEPPARD line and HOWE line all of these married my Great grandfathers Siblings in Winterborne Kingston- so I know this DNA think had proven this line 1800 - 1860 person The before 1800 is the lines I want to find connections with and I have several but because the records before 1700 are scarce - I hit a brick wall again What I have gotten is a great Data Base of ARNOLD's in USA and in Dorset and I forgot to tell you I got some for ARNOLD matchers in Gloucestershire, London, Kent, Suffolk and Sussex- who I cant answer for because they are in the 1600s I have noticed that Richard ARNOLD of Bagber [who was NOT a Lord - but a Gentleman farmer - not in the peerage book] and Alice GULLY may have had about 30 children- because if people can't find an ARNOLD to latch on to in England they select them - smile - I think I have matches with people who connect to him but as I said I don't like some of their trees so I cant really connect with proof-- However I get a lot of Matches over 20 so far with Thomas ARNOLD born 1599 Kent, England, married 2nd to Phebe PARKHURST - which brings in another question? I think the thing is with DNA - the person you match with has to have the correct tree? Otherwise you connect to them but where did they come from? Now My great Grandfather was Henry James ARNOLD baptised in Winterborne Kingston to Robert ARNOLD of Winterborne Kingston and Eliza HOOK of Winterborne Clenston I know this because I have had strong DNA matches with my cousins- and who I have been researching for over 30 years - I know this is my line anyway and this also proves my DORSET Connection - I do and always will share my results so we can sort this family tree out as far back as we can with proof I will, if anyone ARNOLD wants, will share my report when I have finished collating all my results Hope this all makes sense - I will answer any questions you may have Jill Morley nee Arnold

That is what I say Why would a person who lived in Winterborne Kingston [Muston] in the year 1700 died and be buried in Milton Abbas? And why did John and his wife Jane ARNOLD die within days of each other in May 1700 - I am guessing I may never know this answer to this Both left a will in 1700 written days before they died both said of Winterborne Kingston? If you are an ARNOLD researcher you would know that several by the name ARNOLD who died in the 1500s and early 1600 said they wanted to be buried in 'the Aisle of Jesus in the church of Milton Abbas' where their parents were buried? Could this be a clue to my heritage - it certainly is not by DNA as I have only tested positive with people who - I know come from the same line as me?
