Title: Carno Farm Dorchester
Post by: charlottecoates on Monday 14 May 12 09:42 BST (UK)
Would love to know who was living at Carno Farm about 1908. My grandfather was writing to someone there, we think it was his step-mother.

Can't see that address in the street index.
Is it absolutely clearly Carno, or could it be something like Cerne?

It's fairly clear, but I don't think grandad ever lived there so I guess with his step mum's East End accent and often misunderstandings occur. Although this post card got through
Thank you for looking, I'm based in Plymouth and not too cleaver with the internet!!!

Have found what looks like "Carne Home Farm" in Winterborne, South of Dorchester, on an 1890 OS map. It isn't Cerne - the "a" is quite clear.

Possibility?

Think it might be "Came Home Farm" rather than "Carne Home Farme" nr Winterborne.

Thank you so much for spending the time looking for me, that should make it easier when trying to find who lived there 1908, I think. I'm getting better with the internet but it takes me quite a long time, and then I forget where I found information!!

If it is the home Farm at Winterborne Came, there is a page about the inhabitants on the village website

The 1911 Census Summary book has a Mr Cake resident at Came Farm (no mention of "Home").

The census itself has:

Arthur Silbury Cake, 31, Farmer
Noel Cake, 28, wife
Roy James Cake, 1, son
Emily Drewitt,26, servant

Thank you so much. My grandfather mentioned an Emily, but there really wasn't one to fit the bill, I wonder if you've cracked it
