Title: Evershot Birth Record
Post by: traceydiment on Wednesday 11 March 09 11:43 GMT (UK)

I am looking for a birth registry for Elizabeth Groves (father John Groves).  She was born in June 1843 in Evershot, Dorset according to census records etc.  I have found a birth registry for around this time but it is recorded as Beaminster.  Would this be the correct district for Beaminster as I have already ordered a wrong birth certificate for this Elizabeth Groves already and am reluctant to order another wrong one!

Hi

Is this any help?

From the Evershot registers

15 Jul 1843, Elizabeth do John and Mary Ann GROVES, Labourer
is the closest, there is also another born the year before...

30 Jan 1842, Elizabeth illegitimate do Mary Ann GROVES

There don't seem to be any more baptisms for children of John and Mary Ann but plenty either side for John & Maria, I suspect Mary Ann & Maria are one and the same.
