Hi Dorothy As Liz has already indicated, Henley is one of several hamlets in the parish of Buckland Newton, others include Rue, Minterne Parva, Duntish, Brockhampton, Sharnell Green and Plush (which was always a detached part of the parish). If you go to the Dorset OPC pages for Buckland Newton there are maps on the page that will indicate the location (www.opcdorset.org) and also the Buckland Newton community site has a useful map (www.bucklandnewton.com). Buckland was also divided into several tythings, Henley was part of the Buckland tything. There was formerly a Baptist Chapel at Henley, unfortunately I don't know if any records for this chapel survive (if anyone can shed light on this please let me know). Plenty of Yeatman references can be found on the Buckland Newton OPC pages. In the 1841 census you will find Henley transcribed as Hendly, as written in the census returns. Any contributions of material related to the parish are always welcome. I also have some connections with the Yeatmans in my own family, through marriages with the Battens and Russells.

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.
