1. Re: 1851 census compressed files [1]
Please remember I am computer illiterate!!!! arj files are compressed files so you need to uncompress or unzip them with a special program. I think at the top of the list there may be an unzipper you can download, but I'm not sure (someone else on one list found it). I've just bought a program from the shop called ZipMagic put out by the Mijenix Corporation, very easy to install and I think it will be well worth it when I look at all the marriage witness indexes and census info on the site. ftp://ftp.cac.

Hi Linda You need WINZIP or ARJ.EXE to decompress ARJ files. Best to make a separate directory and copy the files there so you don't get them mixed with other files. Ben

9. GARLAND family [1]
I'm looking for information about the GARLAND family of Owermoigne in the early 1800s. The father was said to be Charles, a baker, and the mother Betsey. They had 7 boys and 3 girls. Daughter Elizabeth married William Penney in 1819. Son Thomas, a dairyman, married Jane Marsh in 1830. Another son was probably named Jeremiah. These three siblings left England in 1845 for Wisconsin Territory, USA. Using church records and the 1851 census of Dorset, I think the following might be other sons of Charles and Be

Hello all, I'm a newcomer to this list but I also subscribe to the Isle of Wight list where most of my family's origins are. However, I was a resident of Wimborne Minster and Merley throughout my childhood. Long before my time, other members of the URRY family are known to have settled in Dorset and I would be grateful if any of you could help me to find traces of them. The principle areas where they seem to have settled are Dorchester, Christchurch, Wimborne, Weymouth, Witchampton and Tarrant Monkton. Of

Have you read the book by Chuk. I understand that this author is from around your part of the ocean (rather than the waters of the England). She wrote the book entitled "The Somerset Years." The book is very informative, as well as names of passengers who travelled from England to Australia etc. Good Luck, Marilyn Shaw-Guisset.

18. HUXFORD Surname [1]
A gentleman from Newfoundland suggested that my ancestor, Ann Huxford, may have come from Dorset to Newfoundland. On 3 April 1754 she married William Gerrard in Christchurch. At the time of her marriage she was listed as being from Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. William was reportedly from Ince, Lancashire. The Newfie gentleman thinks the name may have been corrupted to Huxter. Can anyone offer any help? Sincerely, Roger

23. Re: Tea dealers in Poole, BRYDEN, KERR, FRY. [1]
Iain, T.B. was also a common lung disease during the 19th century and grew to empidemic portions in certain areas. The surname of FRY in Dorset is not uncommon but may not to the great numbers as some of the common surnames. I have an Elizabeth FRY in my tree as well. However, she had moved to London upon her married and shortly thereafter became widowed. This may be one case where a FRY lived beyond the years of expections.:-) Kind regards, Marilyn Shaw-Guisset (guissem@nb.sympatico.ca) Iain Challis wro
24. JESTY - Yetminster & Worth Matravers [1]
Hello everyone. I've recently subscribed to the DORSET-L mailing list and thought it was about time I posted my first message to the group. My chief genealogical interest in Dorset is the surname JESTY and the villages of YETMINSTER and WORTH MATRAVERS. I am particularly interested in one of my ancestors, Benjamin Jesty (1737-1816) who the Lancet medical journal credits as the first known person to undertake smallpox vaccination (in 1774, some 22 years before Edward Jenner). I would be very interested to
