Hi Everyone, A fellow researcher in Kent has asked me to ask this of the Dorset list, can anyone help please? In 1641, a Protestation was executed at Ryme Intrinsica in Dorset, but not far from Yeovil. The Overseer was not included, as he lived in another village HOLDSTOCK. Another version of this report, shows his village as HOLSTOCKE. It has been suggested, the there is a Holdstock family connection here somewhere, but the only village that resembles the name is HALSTOCK. I have, on a previous visit, been to the Reference Library in Dorchester, but they felt "unable to assist." Last week I visited Halstock and luckily I was able to purchase, frm the parish church, the last copy of the village history. The name Halstock is very old, back to the tenth century in fact. So my query is, is there or was there another village somewhere around Ryme that would provide the answer? Best Wishes,Derek

As previously, having checked Google, Genuki and Old Maps, I feeel sure this should be HALSTOVK Jim http://www.payman.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk --- On Thu, 23/9/10, Derek and Jennifer Way <edenderry3@hotmail.com> wrote: > From: Derek and Jennifer Way <edenderry3@hotmail.com> > Subject: Re: [DOR] Dorset Enquiry > To: "DORSET List" <dorset@rootsweb.com> > Date: Thursday, 23 September, 2010, 14:47 > > Hi Everyone, > > A fellow researcher in Kent has asked me to ask this of the > Dorset list, can anyone help please? > > > > > > > In 1641, a Protestation was executed at Ryme Intrinsica in > Dorset, but not far from Yeovil.  The Overseer was not > included, as he lived in > another village HOLDSTOCK.  Another > version of this report, shows his village as HOLSTOCKE. > > > > It has been suggested, the there is a Holdstock family > connection here somewhere, but the only village that > resembles the name is > HALSTOCK. > > > > I have, on a previous visit, been to the Reference Library > in Dorchester, but they felt "unable to > assist." > > > > Last week I visited Halstock and luckily I was able to > purchase, frm the parish church, the last copy of the > village history.  The name Halstock is very old, back > to the > tenth century in fact. > > > > So my query is, is there or was there another village > somewhere around Ryme that would provide the answer? > Best Wishes,Derek > > > > >     >          >            >   > > *************************************** > > When replying to this message, please spare a thought for > your fellow list members, and anyone searching the archives > in the future.  SNIP everything which is not essential > for comprehension or continuity (including the footers which > will be put back anyway!) > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DORSET-request@rootsweb.com > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the > subject and the body of the message >

My fingers are rather arthritic and I keep hitting the wrong keys. I of course meant HALSTOCK Jim --- On Fri, 24/9/10, Jim Parsons <dorsetresearcher@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > From: Jim Parsons <dorsetresearcher@yahoo.co.uk> > Subject: Re: [DOR] Dorset Enquiry > To: dorset@rootsweb.com > Date: Friday, 24 September, 2010, 16:11 > As previously, having checked Google, > Genuki and Old Maps, I feeel sure this should be HALSTOVK > > Jim > http://www.payman.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk > > --- On Thu, 23/9/10, Derek and Jennifer Way <edenderry3@hotmail.com> > wrote: > > > From: Derek and Jennifer Way <edenderry3@hotmail.com> > > Subject: Re: [DOR] Dorset Enquiry > > To: "DORSET List" <dorset@rootsweb.com> > > Date: Thursday, 23 September, 2010, 14:47 > > > > Hi Everyone, > > > > A fellow researcher in Kent has asked me to ask this > of the > > Dorset list, can anyone help please? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > In 1641, a Protestation was executed at Ryme > Intrinsica in > > Dorset, but not far from Yeovil.  The Overseer was > not > > included, as he lived in > > another village HOLDSTOCK.  Another > > version of this report, shows his village as > HOLSTOCKE. > > > >  > > > > It has been suggested, the there is a Holdstock > family > > connection here somewhere, but the only village that > > resembles the name is > > HALSTOCK. > > > >  > > > > I have, on a previous visit, been to the Reference > Library > > in Dorchester, but they felt "unable to > > assist." > > > >  > > > > Last week I visited Halstock and luckily I was able > to > > purchase, frm the parish church, the last copy of the > > village history.  The name Halstock is very old, > back > > to the > > tenth century in fact. > > > >  > > > > So my query is, is there or was there another village > > somewhere around Ryme that would provide the answer? > > Best Wishes,Derek > > > > > > > > > >      > >          > >            > >   > > > > *************************************** > > > > When replying to this message, please spare a thought > for > > your fellow list members, and anyone searching the > archives > > in the future.  SNIP everything which is not > essential > > for comprehension or continuity (including the footers > which > > will be put back anyway!) > > ------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > DORSET-request@rootsweb.com > > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the > > subject and the body of the message > > > > >       > > > *************************************** > > When replying to this message, please spare a thought for > your fellow list members, and anyone searching the archives > in the future.  SNIP everything which is not essential > for comprehension or continuity (including the footers which > will be put back anyway!) > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DORSET-request@rootsweb.com > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the > subject and the body of the message >
