Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: George Derham born approx 1800-1

Brownsea or Branksea road is a channel not an actual vehicle road. It is off the SE side of the island. You can find it on historical maps on NLS website

The name Brownsea road was from report in the Sherborne Mercury dated 18 January 1790, it gave a brief report of the inquest which had been held four days earlier.  So it was obviously being used a long time before 1903.
If you have access to FindMyPast or the British Newspaper Archive, you can search for the publication. It is on page 3, about halfway down column 4.
You are correct about the actual burial, it was at Hunger Hill, but recorded at Skinner Street, so presumably the place of the funeral.
If your family goes back to 1602, would that be to Edward Derham of Bloxworth, your 9 x great grandfather?

burial record says Leg Lane Protestant Dissenters burying ground, presumably Findagrave is using a later name

Without knowing the record and context, a list of names and dates / ages is of limited use.
 For example "Benjamin Derham 1790 mariner". You don't mention a place or whether 1790 was dob, dod or another life event.

I have previously researched this Benjamin, but so far unable to connect him to my tree. He was baptised at St James Poole on 15 Jun 1768, son of Benjamin Derham and his wife Mary (nee Bushell), who had married at St James, Poole on 28 Feb 1768 (witnesses Thomas Burt and Daniel Harrison). Benjamin jnr married Sarah Frampton on 25 Dec 1788 at St James Poole. They had a son (also Benjamin) baptised on 25 Dec 1789. Benj jnr  was a mate on the vessel "Mary Ann". He drowned on 13 January 1790 in Brownsea Road after falling from that vessel.  The inquest was held the following day (14 Jan 1790) and he was buried at Skinner St Independent Chapel, Poole on 17th January 1790.

Benjamin and Mary had also had another son, Edward, baptised 15 Apr 1770 at St James, Poole.
Possible burial for Benjamin snr on 23 Sep 1774 at St James, Poole.

for anyone researching Derhams in Mudeford, Morden and immediate area not census, but dates and names of other records basic details for this page. James Derham 50 1883, Edward Derham 1821, Benjamin Derham 1790 mariner, Elanor and Samuel Derham 1763, Edmund and mother Elizabeth 1696 and 1697 john Derham steeple 1758
john Derham, Mary Derham 63, John 45, Elizabeth 18, all the above are very close to Morden others not mentioned are slightly further afield.

What are the sources for these dates / ages? Are the dates, birth years  or death years? Are the ages, the age of the person at death  or on a particular census?

And welcome to Rootschat - 5th cousin!

It says I added 12,569 people to my tree - that's my whole tree. A few weeks ago I realised my tree on Ancestry was very out of date, so I deleted it, then uploaded my up to date tree as a Gedcom made by my FTM software. Obviously they count that as adding new people to an existing tree.
