Apologies if this has been published before. There are a number of Dorset Parish Transcripts (and other Counties) available on the Internet Archive site which listers may find useful. The following will find some of the Dorset documents: http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=the%20parish%20registers%20of%20Engl and%20and%20dorset to get the rest of the counties remove the '%20and%20dorset' from the above. There is also one for Stourpaine (not caught by the above): http://www.archive.org/stream/dorsetrecords06frye/dorsetrecords06frye_djvu.t xt the 'read online' versions can be a bit suspect as I think they are digitised from the text and have some character problems but there should also be available PDF versions which are the real images and can be downloaded. This is a vast repository and it may be worth playing around with the search to see if there is anything of interest. Bob Hills
