Norfolk / Re: ATHOW Family in Brisley Norfolk
« on: Thursday 23 June 11 21:18 BST (UK)  »
I am researching Brisley families for an exhibition in August at Brisley Church. We have an excellent family tree on the Athow family- our present Rector is a relation. I am keen to get early photos of the village and village families if you have any that you would like to let us have copied to put in the exhibition that would be wonderful.

Dorset / Re: Thomas Mitchell 1773 1854
« on: Wednesday 07 July 10 18:09 BST (UK)  »
Thank you I have checked that site out and added a little more detail to my search- sadly it is not clear to whom the g/children belong - also I still can't locate Thomas's family background anywhere although when I  visited the Dorset History society last week I did see the maps of the farms he owned suggesting he was quite a substantual landowner. This is intreging because for a time one of his children was in the workhouse at Fareham!
Many thanks

Dorset / Thomas Mitchell 1773 1854

Does anyone know any information about Thomas Mitchell who was a farmer at East Orchard Dorset. He was married to Mary at Child Okeford in 1829. I would like to find out the names and places where his parents came from also if they were also farmers.

I think this may interest you in finding out more about the Mitchell connection with the Tolpuddle Martyrs

LANE - John Lane (1769-1840) was a churchwarden and tenant farmer of the Grove
family at Lower Bridmore, which lies east of Berwick St John. He was born at
Hangar Farm, Eling, near Southampton, the son of John Lane and Betty ATKINS.
The Lane line can be traced back to about the year 1500, a family probably living at
Silkstead, near the village of Hursley, south of Winchester.
John Lane acquired the tenancy of Lower Bridmore in 1798. He married Mansel
MOORE, only daughter of Stafford Moore, at Fontmell Magna in 1805. The couple
had eight children;
1. Mansel (1806-1861). M. James BRINE, farmer of Tolpuddle and first cousin to his
more famous namesake, James Brine, the Tolpuddle Martyr. One child.

2. John (1807-1873). Brewer of the Wenlock Brewery, Islington, London. M. Eliza
Bevan MITCHELL of East Orchard in 1837. Five children.

merchant, in 1838. No children.
4. Mary Ann (1812-1877). M. William Young FOOT, farmer of Melbury Abbas.
One surviving child.
5. Stafford Moore (1814-1868). M. in 1850, Louisa FUTCHER of Fovant. Became
Farm Bailiff at Spye Park. See photo of portrait on Photographs / People page. Five
children.
6. William (1816-1848). Buried in the family tomb, Berwick St John. Did not
marry.
7. Thomas (1819- 1847). Ditto.
8. James (1826-1863). M. in 1851, Dionisia Futcher, younger sister of Louisa, above.
James and Dionisia farmed at Alfriston, Sussex. James suffered bad health and died
of TB on St Helier, Jersey. Five children. (James was the direct ancestor of both
