Good afternoon My gggrandfather had Church Yard, Evershot as his address on the 1841 census. Does this address still exist and if so are there any photos/drawings of it? Thank you Norma Australia

Dear Norma, If you Google Maps for Evershot, Dorset & zoom in, you will see that the church is on the corner of Fore Street and Back Lane, both old roads. There doesn't appear to be any sign of Church Yard. What was his occupation? - it wasn't unheard of for someone to be living in a dwelling which was actually in or on the edge of the churchyard (i.e graveyard)!! Otherwise he may have been living in the lovely thatched cottages which are next to the church in Fore Street as they abut the church yard or if you look up back lane behind the church there are also some cottages at the far end of the graveyard. Again on Google Maps place the little orange man in front of these cottages to get the street veiw and by using your arrow keys you will be able to move along the roads and view the streets as they looked earlier this year.
