Failing that I would also suggest that you download the excellent and free program Parish Locator from: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~gdl/parfind.htm This will enable you to devise (ooops sorry :-) !) a strategy for searching the parish registers with in a certain radius of Devizes eg 5 miles etc. Don't forget that people would often answer with the nearest town or well known place in the census rather than go into detail about some difficult to spell village or hamlet ie I would tell you I live on Portland rather than explain that I actually live in a place called Fortuneswell or Fortunes Well :-) It could also be that his mother may not have come from Devizes and may have had him baptised him in her own parish, especially if she had gone home to Mum to have the baby. Something which William may not have been aware of unless his Mum had told him? Regards Paul Isle of Portland

I have obtained a copy of the will of Daniel NEATE, shopkeeper, of Corston in the parish of St Paul, Malmesbury who died September 1830 aged 84. Details may be of interest to those researching and/or trying to sort out the various NEATE families living in and around Malmesbury at that time. Beneficiaries were wife Mary NEATE, son John NEATE, daughters Elizabeth PRIOR, Ann FULLAWAY, Mary HONEY and Susannah GRAY and grandchildren Thomas NEATE and Ann HILL. Further details available on request off-list. I am copying directly to those NEATE researchers known to me so apologies to anyone who receives this twice. Derek Woodman

Forwarded for information: may even be able to see - from a distance - the condition of those old PRs that we hear so much about - plus all the other material they hold, but about which we are not so sure: Paul Saturday April 28 2001 - 10.30am to 3.30pm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In April the Dorset Record Office will be marking the 10th anniversary of the opening of the splendid purpose built office on Bridport Rd in Dorchester with an Open Day. This will be a rare opportunity for visitors to tour the building seeing areas which are not usually open to the public. Special displays and activities are planned to demonstrate the work that is involved in caring for these unique records and helping people to use them. There will be the opportunity to talk to the archivists, conservators and public enquiry staff about their work and to see at first hand various aspects of this fascinating work.

There have been a number of updates to my Ships in Port 1881 website recently. The site indexes the crews and passengers which were in port or coastal waters in England & Wales in 1881 and is searchable. Ports covered so far include:- All of Wales Bristol Portishead All of Somerset North Devon parts of South Devon most of Cornwall All of Yorkshire All of Cumberland much of Durham Newcastle Sunderland part 1 of North Shields To search go to http://www.angelfire.com/de/BobSanders/81Intro.html Also recently added to my site are:- Casualties at the Siege & Relief of Lucknow plus survivors of the garrison & residency inhabitants 1857-8 India. http://www.angelfire.com/de/BobSanders/Lucknow/index.html Casualties at the Battle of the Alma, Crimean War 1854 lists the posted killed, wounded and missing, by regiment. http://www.angelfire.com/de/BobSanders/Alma/index.html Please note that the two military sections are scanned and therefore not searchable via my Pinpoint Search Engine nor by use of the browser "find" button. You will need to read the lists ! Bob Sanders

I have just made a terrible mistake and forwarded a message to the Wessex list about the DCRO open day which should have gone to Paul Beynon. I ask you to please delete the messge and the email address which should have been kept confidential. If I hear (and I will!!!!) that anyone has contacted the originater of the message personally I will be very disappointed and it will mean that our relations with the record office staff will be permenantly damaged. Please respect the privacy of the person concerned and do not, under any circumstances, contact her about your research. Any queries - please contact me direct.

Hi, I have William CROOK shown on the census as being born at Devizes, Wilts. He would have been born about 1798. I have searched all the Parishes in Devizes without any luck. Can someone suggest a possible Parish where he may have been baptized?? Thanks, Kay

Hi Paul Don't know if you want to publicise this on Wessex. If you do please could you remove Jessamy and Anthony Wilsdon's name, email address etc. Jessamy lurks on the list but she doesn't want the fact that she is an archivist working at the Record Office made public knowledge as she is understandly concerned that she will start receiving private requests for look ups, free research etc. I've cut out the relevant section to send to Dorset with my own introduction.

Ah well!

I just wanted to thank all those that offered suggestions regarding downloading of IGI data to spreadsheets recently.

I should, therefore, be grateful if we didn't continue with this thread as I have a feeling it might go a little OTT, as no doubt different people will have "very" different points of view and although I'd like to have my 2d worth (or 2c) I can't see an obvious Wessex connection :-)) But since John raises the point, although there are still a number of restrictions on where you can walk etc, many are being lifted as I write and Spring is certainly the best time to visit the ol' country with everything so green and fresh. Unfortunately I don't think anyone has told the weather yet, as its still feels a mite chilly these days and especially at night - 0-4C for tonight's forecast, so don't forget to cover those tender plants :-) Ooops off-topic again - perhaps that should be on the alt.gardening ng.
