Hi Kelly
I'm new to RootsChat - your message was my initiation. I would be only too pleased to send you a personal e-mail - but I don't know how that works - so I''l leave it to you.
I have found the Childs of Melbury Osmond interesting and almost obsessive - there are so may of them and they have gone on to lead quite diverese lives.
Please let me have your e-mail address.

Hello Kelly and Marian
I have quite a lot of information about the Childs of Melbury Osmond. I have stayed in Melbury Omond several times and used the records at Dorchester Local History Centre.
Grace Childs b.1779 was the oldest child of William baptized 12 Feb 1749. Their second child was Henry - the only boy - they had six other daughters. Henry was my husband's 3x great-grandfather. Grace married William Rowlison who was coachman to Lord Ilchester of Melbury House. William was the son of Joseph Childs b.1703 and Mary Hurlstone. Their daughter Maria married John Sweatman and their granddaughter Jemima Hand was the mother of Thomas Hardy!
I have various David and Samuels - it seemed to be a popular family name - but not born in the years Kelly mentions. I will look further at what I have.
The earliest Childs (Chyles) were in Melbury Osmond before 1635 and it would seem that most of the village were descended from them in one way or another.
I have masses of information on the Childs and Melbury Osmond which I would be only too happy to share with you.
