Paul Caswell.You quote Dorset OPC. I have been trying to get the OPC for Askerswell in order to supply a gap in their parish registers. The email has been sent back, address not known. Has anyone an up to date address.?
Thanks. Toby.

Thank you "me!" for your offer. I so wanted to offer my Stockleys as "old" family but sadly, asker was asking for "Old" family. <grin>

Truly impressed by your "Read"'s.

Hi there GenJohn,

I don't suppose your OLDs are connected to a William OLD who was married at Tyneham on 11 Mar 1872 to a Jemima MILLER (1832-1874)? I ask because you mentioned that your OLDs were shepherds, and so was William! I don't know anything about him but Jemima was sister to my 3x great grandfather Joseph MILLER.

Warmest regards and happy OLD hunting!

My 4x great grandfather was John OLD, who according to the 1861 census was born in Kimmeridge in approx 1789. He was a shepherd, living in Winterbourne Whitchurch from at least 1841 to his death in 1866.

The only John Old baptism I can find in 1789 was in Whitchurch Canonicorum which is 40-odd miles from Kimmeridge, and seems unlikely, so I would love to find a link to any other OLDs.

Hi Im am doing my friends family tree & I think we might have the same person John Old born 1789 Shepherd born Kimmeridge & I also cant find a birth for him or his marriage to Hannah. My friend comes form his daughters line Sophia Old.

Have you found a marriage for John at all.

Thanks
