Cat1 / Rob G,

I have a Caroline GRITT (1806-?) marrying a John MITCHELL (1801-?) in abt 1824 (Alton, Hants). Their descendants finally join the DOEs when their grand daughter Caroline Emily MITCHELL (born in Haslin) marries Albert DOE (my 2nd great grand father) in 1887.

Was just interesting that you're both mentioning GRITT and MITCHELL. Possible links but perhaps not :)

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks so much for the offer. I've had a couple of pages passed to me by another member and that's enabled me to get back to the 1680's on my paternal (DOE) line. There were so many bakers dozen families and so many shared names but I think I've got the bones of the tree sorted. My task now is to fill it out. Am going to concentrate on the offspring of William DOE (1814-1890) and Naomi PATEMAN (1809-1890) simply cos there seems to be lots of other resources around covering the Thorney Hill encampment and the families there. Louisa/Britannia DOE in particular seems to have had on first inspection a particularly colourful life. There's also a lot of cross over on my maternal line with HUMBYs GODWINs and CROSS'.

I see you've got DOEs on your list of interests...my lot tended to stay in the New Forest (Hampshire/Dorset). Let me know if you have any in the area too and I'll ping you an invite to view my tree on Ancestry.

Thanks again for your messages and kind offer.

davidft,

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess it should have been posted in the common room. I was fishing for contacts but also out of genuine interest. Most people are here to find out where they're from. Do we all want to find kings & queens and dramatic characters in our histories or is it enough to know definitively where you 'belong'?

83% ethnicity estimate with a significant (scarily so) concentration for Hampshire & the Isle of Wight...I guess all those DOEs and GODWINs weren't desperately keen to travel?

Should it be sad and disappointing to be so 'local' or a source of pride and affirmation?  :)

Hi
It's in the Library of University of Oxford or University of Liverpool -Sydney Jones Library if you are near there.

Thanks Ciderdrinker,

I think there are certain places that all publishers need to send copies including The Bodleian Library too. Am in deepest darkest Devon so would need to make a day of it. Looking at an inter-library loan as the most likely solution. Thanks for your post though.

Have you managed to get a copy yet?
Rebecca.

Hi Rebecca,

Nothing yet although a very nice person at the R&TFHS did copy me some relevant passages from the book. I'll keep looking and see if the library can source me a copy on loan.

Thanks for asking though,

Warren

Hi,

Anyone have a copy of this they're willing to lend/sell? Not sure what the print run was but it's a best seller and they're all gone! :)

Apparently Stephen D is working on a 2nd edition but I'm an impatient type!!

Ta, Warren (Doe)
