1. Re: Sherborne Gravestones [1]
Ken, I know the feeling. My wife, Lorene, and I went to a little church in the Weymouth area where some members of the WHITTLE branch of her family had lived at one time. I walked up to the wall of the church, and leaning there were two WHITTLE tombstones with dates into the 1700s. One was fairly legible since it was late in the afternoon and we could get long shadows from the indentations. It was like a page out of a family bible. The other stone appeared to be a second-hand stone that had been crudel

Thank you for your gracious acknowledgment of the packet I sent. I am glad you found things of interest there. It sounds as though you hit the jackpot on your Gloucester Hotel search. It is one of the breakthroughs that makes all the spadework worthwhile. We have received so much help on our Weymouth research that it is a real joy to be ab
3. Re: Sherborne Gravestones [1]
Ken, All I can tell you is that directly outside the entrance to Sherborne Abbey there is a large grave monument -about 6 feet by 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 feet with a number of names around it, all the WHITTLE family. We took photographs of most of them, since this surname appears in my wife's lineage.

4. Re: A Long Shot [0.977204]
Janet, hello, Thanks for the information. 'Our' Highmores were, we think, from Jane Highmore, who was born in about 1791, and married John Coombs Jeffery in Yeovil (St. John the Baptist) in 1812. The middle name went to their son John Highmore Jeffery, who was born in Yeovil, and to several of his children (all born in Chetnole, Dorset), and so on down to my Grandfather, Leonard Highmore Jeffery. There are links, we think, with Sherborne, so who knows? If anything more comes to light, I'll be in touch.
5. RE: attachments [0.977204]
Michele All you have to do is make the Gedcom as normal and attach it to an email in the normal way that you would any other file, however, I will say that Gedcoms can be zipped quite well to a much smaller size for ease of sending by email. You didn't mention what programs you are using so I can't give you more detailed instruction. Hope this helps though!

7. Re: tizards [0.977204]
Hi Bob There was a Richard Tizard baptised at Winfrith Newburgh on 4th April 1847, son of Richard and Elizabeth Tizard. Other children were Eliza (18th Dec 1836), Francis Robert (5th April 1840) & Elizabeth Cox (6th Aug 1843). This last baptism makes it pretty certain that your Richard's parents were the Richard Tizard and Elizabeth Cox who married at Winfrith on 8th October 1835. Winfrith was an extremely poor village Dorset agricultural labourers received about the lowest wages in the country at this ti

Don, I have found the most outrageous interpretations of SPRACKLING which have taxed my imagination to the limit. So, intrigued by your discovery, I followed your instructions but when I double clicked on 1881bc.mdb, the sole file in sub-directory STANDARD, I got an error message:- 'There is no script engine for file extension ".MDB".' Do you, or any other lister, know if that means I don't have the appropriate software or is it likely to be there waiting to be installed? Windows 98 is my operating syst

Hi Kaluyu'ti, The LDS British VRIs give a William WHITE chr. 3 Jan 1858 Portland Fa: Robert Mo: Sarah. The date matches your info, but not the father's name... As you might expect given Portland's main product, there are a LARGE number of STONEs in the parish. Two christening records for Rebecca in 1860 - 6 May (Fa: Robert Mo: Susanna) 1 Jul (FA: Benjamin Mo: Lucy). No marriages listed for the two, but out of the four Rebecca STONEs whose marriages are in the index for Dorset, 3 of them were in Por

Hello Alf, As I expect you know, William Cosby was living in Southwark, London, in 1881, with wife Harriet and son Victor aged 16, born Pimlico. He was a Compositor/Printer. He said he was born in Dorset. In the 1851 Census the only Dorset parish to record the name COSBY was Beaminster. Hope this helps. Regards, Phillip. Phillip D. G.

Alf Herring. Hi Alf Have you located him in the 1851 census in London? If not there is a chance that he has put down more than just 'Dorset' as his birthplace. There are surname indexes to most of the London 1851 census, I have quite a few myself. Also are there any COSBY's left in Dorset for the 1851 census? Lynda

Does anyone know who may have first written the following and when: "Here lies a piece of Christ, a Star in Dust, A Vein of Gold, a China Dish, that must be used in Heaven when Christ shall feast the Just" It was on Joan Nation's tombstone who died 1686 (one of my husband's ancestors). Also, in 1937 the verse was recited at the funeral of the poet John Drinkwater, by his friend Felix Aylmer, the actor. Rosemary Nation rose@nation7.freeserve.co.uk
