Dear Marian, Charles HYDE's (& his siblings) baptisms are on the Dorset OPC site: www.opcdorset.org Alll the baptisms & marriages for Sherborne parish church have been transcribed. Charles s/o James & Betty HYDE baptised 9 July 1785 @ Sherborne Parish Church. James' (& sibling) are also there - but I'll let you search for them. (Some of the G Grandmother's baptisms are also listed as are some of the marriages.) Assuming you mean the famous Sherborne School in Abbey Road, you could contact the Dorset History Centre to see if any of the papers that they hold on Sherborne School might tell you when Mary Ann began working there - you can search their catalogue on their website at www.dorsetforyou.com/archives (or you could contact the school direct to see whether they are still holding any archives for that period). However, if she was the nursemaid for the headmaster's (or a junior master's) family, then she would have probably beeen employed directly by them & not the school board.
