Dear Listers

As I am new to the Dorset list, I thought I would post my interests and ask
if anyone out there might be able to help, or at least point me in the right
direction.

Does anyone have the 1861 and/or 1871 census for Charmouth, Dorset that they
might be willing to look up for me? I am looking for information about my
Gt Gt Gt Grandparents George and Elizabeth CRABB (late CROSS, formerly
BOARD).

My Gt Gt Grandma Alice Sarah CRABB was born on 24 July 1861 at Axminster
Road, Charmouth. By the 1881 census, she was married to my Gt Gt
Grandfather William Henry GARLAND, and living in Southampton. On their
MCert - Alice's father - George CRABB - was a Shoemaker.

According to the 1881 census, a George and Elizabeth CRABBE are living at
Old Lyme Road, Charmouth - aged 65 and 62 respectively - George, a
Cordwainer, born in Uplyme, Devon; and Elizabeth, a Laundress, born in
Delwood, Devon.

Would anyone be able to tell me what this family were doing in 1861 or
1871?? I would like to know if George and Elizabeth had any other children,
and if Alice Sarah was one of them. This would enable me to tie this 1881
entry down as "my" family, and be able to concentrate my research. Any
information would be greatly appreciated.

I'd also like to hear from anyone also researching this family, or with
these people somewhere in their ancestry.

Thanks and Regards Alison Hargreaves, Swindon, UK
