I am not sure, my family will know more. Have sent a PM. I have still to sort out my notes from my stay in Dorset, hopefully will make more sense this week.

well, relatives. My line is that Thomas Hills married first Bessie Eastment, who died quite young, and later, Catherine Annie Gard, Bessie's father Richard Eastment being the father - in - law of William Gard, who of course was the father of Catherine. My brother will be contacting you too. Family link to Montacue House records in Somerset as well. Also looking at any possible link with Thomas Hardy's mother who lived at Melbury Osmond and which of course has links with the 'Woodlanders'. Happy to PM you. Phil.

Hello Vicky, It would seem that William was my great-great grandfather like you. I have just returned from Melbury Osmond and explored the churches of Melbury Osmond, Yetminster and Chiselborough. There is a Gard in Chiselborough still and I met people who still remember the Gards. It would be interesting to be in touch with a possible relative.
