Hi Jaline,

Have you contacted the Dorset Family History Society( www.dorsetfhs.org.uk )to see if they have any members researching your names?

Can you get to Dorchester ?   The Dorset History Centre have parish records etc. that might help you.

Hi Jaline,

My Fox family came from Minterne Magna.

Dorset Online Parish Clerks is excellent. I found many of my ancestors through this website.
http://www.dorset-opc.com/

Family History Online is also an excellent site. They helped me solve a long running Dorset family mystery.
