Title: Lisle (& Warren?) of C17 and C18
Post by: anthonyp on Tuesday 04 January 11 15:46 GMT (UK)

Just discovered I have ancestry in Dorset, namely Davie (or David) Lisle, son of Warren Lisle of Upway etc (1700-1788, Surveyor of Sloops, etc), and Warren Lisle's parents George and Mary Lisle, their parentage, origin etc unknown.  Does anyone know of any recent publications or studies which could throw more light on this family?  And has anyone any idea which Warren family inspired the forename of Capt. W Lisle?

Hi,

A general search of the Dorset OPC site shows records for Warren Lisle on Upwey/Wyke Regis/Weymouth
pages; might be worth investigating.

Yes, thank you, the OPC is great.  I do know that Capt W Lisle's parents were George and Mary Lisle but know nothing of their birthdate or abode: my search in OPC didn't show up anything and I wonder if some history of Dorset might have insight into the Captain's background.
