Dorset Wills.

Hi Lydart,

Probably no connection but I do seem to recall a 'possible' census hit in Dorset for one of my Haverill Ameys, sadly I can't find them now. I'll bear you in mind next time this link turns up.

Meanwhile, here's a coincidence:

So it is !

My Amey is Charles, b. around 1835 - 1840, Wimbourne, m. one of my Trowbridges  ... and none of the subsequent children were Harry or Henry !

Hello Lydart
                   I have just seen your post re Amey. It is quite possible they are related. I notice names Harry, Charles David & George are prominent among the early genaration of Ameys in Australia!!!
                       Regards to you,
                                      Marg.

Hello Paul

I've only just found this thread and wondered if you'd mind checking if there were any Beers in the Stockland area or any Virgin/Vergin etc anywhere at all (but particularly around Stockland). I know Beer is a very common name in Dorset so if there's loads, please don't feel obliged to list them 

I really appreciate your very kind offer!

Hi Paul

Thank you so much for that! I don't recognise any of them, but then I wouldn't since I'm stuck at around 1785 and these are earlier 

A few of them look really promising though, so I shall try emailing the DRO about them. It would be SO good to get back before 1785 

I shall let you know what happens.

Thanks again

I should perhaps mention that I've got an index for Dorset PCC Wills and Administrations 1821 to 1858, if anyone wants a lookup for a later period.......

Thanks for the generous offer.

Any Stockleys Angela? There may be loads, there were a lot of them. Corfe Castle particularly. If there are too many let me know and I'll give you a list of names I am particularly interested in.

Paul

Added: James Stockley 1822-1855 or John Stockley 1756-1838 would be of special interest.

Hi Angela

Thanks for your kind offer. Assuming this isn't going to get too confusing with two people looking up on the same thread .....

Thomas Gale died Shipton Gorge April 1858,
so may scrape into your index

Many thanks
Jan
