Dorset Completed Look up Requests / Re: Powell 1841 and 1851 in Bradpole, Dorset

Thanks for your help Roy - not knowing the area doesn't help but that give me a bit to be getting on with - I find it all so confusing but incredibly interesting.  I love Dorset and I'm quite fascinated to think that my family all came from there.

Thank you again.  Have a lovely Easter Break!!  Jo.

Roy, you're are complete star - I'm obviously not very good at this!!  I'd looked at the 1841 census but couldn't see Lucy and then noticed that Sebilla died and lost the thread.  I guess that would explain why Lucy had the sampler made by Sebilla on her kitchen wall all those years ago.

Do you have any idea how I could find out the name of the farm they lived on - it looks like 'Shocks' Farm? in Stanton St Gabriel but I can't find it on the web and assume it no longer exists.  Any ideas where to find such info?    Are we related?

I'm so grateful for your help Roy.  Thank you.

Jo.

Hi Roy, I do remember you writing to me and that was probably the last time I was actively looking - I seem to go through phases - I haven't looked up the marriage certificate for Lucy and William - looking at your details you have a Lucy in your list so I guess they could be connected (and Lucy did call her daughter Lucy Ellen - I see a sister named Ellen but I guess they were not uncommon names at that time.)  I'm particularly keen to find out Lucy's connection with Sebilla Powell as I know Lucy had a sampler on her kitchen wall made by Sebilla but I can't see them living in the same family.  I will see if I can order the marriage certificate - it's funny how with some people in your tree you receive numerous mails and the information seems to come easily and with others you seem to come across a brick wall with nothing.  I'll see what I can find out.  Thanks again Roy.  Jo.

Hi, reading all these comments they could tie in with my search but equally might not. 

I am searching ing for Lucy Powell (who is somehow connected to Sebilla Powell but I don't know how).  Lucy married William Hoskins Barnes.  They had Lucy Ellen and William Henry.  I believe the daughter, Lucy Ellen, married Edward Gollop?? I'm struggling with records as I don't seem to find anything concrete so help would be appreciated.  All this happened in Charmouth although Lucy Ellen (daughter) was born in Lyme Regis??
