Hi Kim,

Prince, John, Sixpenny Handley A. & W. - 1788
Prince, William, Handley - 1729
Prince, Wm., sen., Handley - 26 1760

and an intriguing ...

Prince, Lawr., Tarrant Rushton - 1773

... Tarrant Rushton is not far from Sixpenny Handley so Google tells me.

Hi Lydart,

Apart from the above there is also :-

Prince, Mary, Weymouth - A. 1699 {Twice}
Prince, Wm., Moor Critchel - 43 1737
Prince, Richard, Gussage All Saints - 31 1780

I hope this is encouraging. :)

Hi Vanessa and welcome to RootsChat,

Arnold, Edith, Okeford Fitzpaine - 1682
Arnold, Tristram, Child Okeford - 14 1674
Hardy, Ann, Okeford Fitzpaine - A. 1780
Hardy, Joseph, Okeford Fitzpaine - 33 1787
Snook, Edward, Fifehead Magdalen - 23 1678
Snooke, Sarah, Kington Magna - 9 1776
Snooke, John, Stour Provost - 1752
Snook, Grace, West Stour - 43 1686
Snook, Edward, Fifehead Magdalen - 23 1678

I hope some of these are of interest. If you have a specific village or a specific first name it may be easier to find a few more.

Paul

Vanessa forgive me,

I completely missed out "Wolfrey" ...

Woolfrey, Roger, Milton Abbas - 40 1762
Woolfreys, Thomas, Chaldon Herring - 20 1690
Woolfreys, Henry, East Lulworth - 19 1760
Woolfreys, John, East Lulworth - 27 1761
Woolfreys, Thomas, Winterborne Whitchurch - 84 1775
Woolfry, Ann, West Lulworth - 28 1763

Still looking.

Hi Kim and Lydart

The only PRINCE wills listed in the whole of Dorset between 1821 and 1858 were probably not yours, but I'll list them just in case you recognise any -

PRINCE Charles   1830 Dec   Blandford Forum  W 720 Bricklayer & Storeman
PRINCE Stephen  1830 Oct   Blandford Forum  W 616 Stonemason

Regards

Angela

Hello tnorbury and welcome to RootsChat  :)

In Dorset between 1821 and 1858 there were no COURTNEYs, one CLOTHIER and one LANKSHEAR and loads of the others. Starting with the easy ones -

CLOTHIER    Jane    1839 Mar Hermitage  W 149 widow
LANKSHEAR  James 1835 Jul   Hooke        A          labourer

Regarding GALE, CHUBB and CHICK, have you a particular area for any of them to try to narrow it down a bit?

regards

Angela

Thanks Paul ...and Angela ...


I've made a note of them and will investigate further.

I think the More Crichel one must be one of mine, but I'll check ...

Angela,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I will sit down later today and give you the information requested.  One of our biggest issue has been working out which people belong to us as there has been often multiple people with the same name born in a similar time frame.

Thank you
