Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with deciphering two surnames - 1560/1563 - Completed
« on: Sunday 08 April 12 18:27 BST (UK) »
Hello all. I need help deciphering two surnames. Both are from the Poole, Dorset, transcript.
The first name, is a recorded burial in 1563. The name appears to me as, "George Bassom". However, the last character of the surname is faded/oddly written, and therefore hard to determine what it resembles. Ancestry had transcribed the surname as "Basten", but, I believe this to be incorrect. I need second opinions as I'm really unsure.
The second name is a burial that took place in 1560. I believe it states something to the effect of, "John ... son of John Bosomme was buried ...". Ancestry suggested it was "John Beson son of John Beson" -- which it clearly is not!! But, again, I'm not 100% certain if I've interpreted it correctly!
Most obliged for your time and help.

Family History Beginners Board / Need help trying to locate a Will
« on: Saturday 03 March 12 19:38 GMT (UK) »
Greetings! I am in need of help. Supposedly there is a Will for a Henry Bason/Basson, of Winterborne, Dorset, 1656 (I assume 1656 is when the Will was passed by the court?). Whom is of significant interest to my family research.
I found this document on Ancestry. Under the book, Index to Acts of Administration in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 1655-1660. Under the collection England: Canterbury - Administrations in The Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1655-1660 (A-F)
My question is, how does one go about tracking down this Will!? and getting a copy? - Would the National archives have it? The reason I am unsure that the National Archives do have it, because I've checked their online database of Wills, and Henry is not there. But I do fully understand that their online database is by no means complete.
I would be most grateful for any wisdom or advice you could share. Many thanks for your time!

Dorset / Re: Bason/Basson
« on: Monday 04 October 10 17:33 BST (UK) »
Wow! That's very interesting. Basson's from somerset! Thank you very much for sharing this.
And I would love to hear about Balson's from Dorset, I have never ever heard, nor come across the surname before, but certainly is of interest to me now. It looks very close to Basson, and I completly admit that my surname may be an evolution of a different surname.
Many thanks.

Dorset Lookup Requests / Re: James Bason Help
« on: Wednesday 14 April 10 19:10 BST (UK) »
Well a census from 1841 in Morden states his age as 69, so he must have been born in 1773. I can't find any birth records for him at all, so one can only assume his birth was in 1773-4.
Also a death record shows him buried in Wareham in 1845, aged 71.

Dorset / Re: Bason/Basson

Thanks for the reply!
That's awesome. I did see that the Basson's were quite widely spread out across England. However I believe my line strays directly from the heart of Dorset.
