Dear David, I also forgot to mention that the St. James, Poole baptisms (1653 - 1905), marriages (1804 - 137) & burials (1622 - 1739) are available via Find my Past (unfortunately, this is a fee paying site) - see www.findmypast.co.uk (These are transcriptions done at Dorset Hiatory Centre by the volunteers of Dorset FHS and submitted to FMP through the contract they have with FFHS (Federation of Family History Societies).
