Hi Lydart,

One of my friend's, a doctor fom Nottinghamshire, is descended from the Tolpuddle martyrs - not sure which one, but her family still live in Dorset.
Must find out!

I have a long Dorset lineage, but am not descended from any of the Martyrs (as far as I know).  However, for years it has been a treasured family story that one of my ancestors took his whole family out to pay their respects as the Martyrs were being taken for transportation.  According to the story, my forebears stood at roadside and the men and boys raised their hats !

Thanks, Lydart !

In fact, I've managed to spend the whole afternoon looking at all these Dorset sites today, instead of working.  ::)

Before that, though, I did my bit to make sure that it IS a happy election day and that we don't get the same Prime Minister back !

(I think you will !)

But we mustn't be political on this site ...

I assume you've found the Dorset OPC site ?   Its the best OPC site in the country I think ...

... and if you go to 'edit your profile', and enter your Dorset names, you may find others on here with the same family names ...

Hello Mark,
I am interested in your Durrant lineage in Dorset, any connections to the ones from Stourton Caundle?
