Hello, I am new to the list. I have been researching my JOLLIFFE family in Dorset and am trying to make a connection to some JOLLIFFE'S in Crewkerne, Somerset. I have a copy of a document dated 5 July 1743, in the name of ORNELLO JOLLIFFE, widow of Crewkerne relating to a property in Abbotsbury, Dorset. Previous tenants of the property were ancestors of mine. The tenancy was to be passed on to THOMAS JOLLIFFE son of MOORE JOLLIFFE of Crewkerne. The name MOORE JOLLIFFE is present in several generations of my Abbotsbury family, one being baptised in 1685. There is also a marriage entry in Bridport/Allington Parish Register of MOORE JOLLIFFE of Crewkerne to MARY TAYLOR of Bridport 14 July 1718. I feel sure there must be some connection but so far have been unable to find it. I would be eternally grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. Georgie....Weymouth.
