Hello Christel, Thanks for the reply. The will acknowledges Elizabeth (wife of Anthony Culverwell), Phillis (wife of Benjamin Parris), Mary (wife of John Bond), Jonathan, Joan, Deborah and Joseph as being children of Jonathan Dalliber senior. >From the Chardstock Web Museum site I have found the marriage of Elizabeth in 1763, and Mary in 1757. I have also found children of Phillis and Benjamin Parris indicating their marriage would have been around 1750. There is also a marriage of a Joan Dalliber to a John Bragg at Chardstock in 1773. Of the children the only baptism I found at Chardstock is that of Deborah in 1745. Joseph was joint executor of the will with his mother, inferring that he was adult in 1767, but the ages of the other unmarried children (including Jonathan junior) is a mystery Regards Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christel Muncaster" <christelhelen@yahoo.co.uk> To: <dorset@rootsweb.com>; "Peter J Richardson" <pjrich.ntl@googlemail.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 1:39 PM Subject: Re: [DOR] Hannah Dalliber baptism - father not given on IGI Dear Peter Thank you for your message, which is very interesting. I am not directly related to the Dalliber family, just got to them wandering aimlessly along a branch of my tree. I have not got any further in the family as yet, and have no idea where Jonathan was born. But perhaps he is the son of your Jonathan. Good luck.
