Title: Iwerne Common, Iwerne Minster
Post by: MadaboutRoses1883 on Thursday 13 August 20 13:11 BST (UK)

I wonder if anyone can throw any light on my query please?

In the 1851 census my gr gr gr grandmother Arabella Green is said to live in : Iwerne Common, Iwerne Minster, Dorset? I know she was widowed and in other census' is said to be a pauper,  (John Green died in 1842). So,  would she really living outdoors on a Common?

In 1851 many houses didn't appear to be named on the census and looking at the census for Iwerne Minster some properties were just listed under Iwerne Common - However I can't see Iverne Common on a map :-\

Added - Relooking - Was Arabella living at Peggs Marsh in 1851??

Thankyou for your reply Kay. Maybe it was just an area name and not a common?
Peggs Marsh was were she was in 1861 i think?
However the 1851 census i read on Rootspoint maybe wrong?
