Title: 1861 Devon Census (Stockland)
Post by: tigger on Monday 28 June 04 15:41 BST (UK)

Hi,

Has anyone got access to a 1861 census of Devon -
I am looking for Thomas Manning (aged about 62)
and his wife, Dinah (aged about 59) in the
parish of Stockland, Devon....

Thanks,

Hi

I realise that this is an old post and so you may already have found the information you wanted ::). However, here goes -
RG9/1372 Folio 61 Page 23

Lodge (Hodge?)  Lake -

Thomas Manning 65 Head - Stone Mason (Born) Dorset Beaminster
Dinah Manning 65 Wife - (Born) Dorset Stockland
Henry Manning 16(?)  Son - Tailor (Born) Dorset Stockland
Sarah J Manning 7 Grandchild - (Born) Dorset Brandcombe
James Beer 6 Lodger - (Born) Devon Membury

Stockland seems to have wandered across the border between Dorset and Devon and appears in Dorset in 1861.

I also have copies of the microfiche for Stockland Parish registers, so if you would like anything else looking up, please let me know.

Regards

Angela

Hi Angela and Jennifer,

I don't know how I missed your posts, but I've only just seen them. I was away in October so perhaps they just slipped through in the huge pile of junk e-mail I would have had when I got back.

Angela, thankyou for that information. I hadn't managed to find it from elsewhere and it was very useful.

Jenny, I would love to compare information - I will send you a personal message tonight when I have my notes with me.

Re:  Stockland Parish Registers

Angela,

Could you look up the early Stockland Parish Registers for any reference to the surname DARE.  I am particularly interested in the period 1500 to 1600.

Regards,

Nancy

Hi Nancy

I'm really sorry but the Stockland registers don't start until 1640  ::) so I can't help with that one.

Good luck

Angela

Hi Angela,

Thanks so much for that information.  Perhaps the parish church wasn't there until 1640 and they were baptising elsewhere.  There's no rush on this, but could you pick out all the DARE entries for me and send them to me directly at
