Hello:  I am located in Canada and I am so lost trying to locate information for my grandmother and her family that were living in Hawkchurch.  Any guidance would be very much appreciated.  Susan

Hello:  I posted a similar post a few days ago which I can't seem to see to I am re-posting now.  I am searching for further information on my great grandparents, Walter Fowler b: 1854 in Axminster and his wife Harriott Brown b: 1855 in Whitchurch and died in Axminster 1893.  I cannot seem to go back any further with my search so if anyone has any other suggestions for me, I would really appreciate it.  Thanks. Susan

Not clear why you are chasing Hawkchurch Parish records at this stage?

Hello All:  Thank you for the leads and the great information you have provided.  Hanes, I wasn't able to find anything on Harriott (Brown) Fowler born 1855 Whitchurch so I was just thinking maybe I could find something in the Parish records.  When I go to any of the sites that have been posted for me, I cannot seem to find what you people find.  I must be doing something wrong as I always get "no matches".  The only information I can seem to access in on Ancestry.  Just a beginner and just learning.  Thanks so much for everyone's help.  Susan

Hi Susan,

Hawkchurch being on the border means in some records it will come under Dorset and others Devon. Since you are looking for earlier records I expect they will be in Dorset. The records I have provided below are all Dorset Records.

William is with Typhena's family in 1851

HO107/1862 Folio 328 Page 10
Sedgecroft
Hawkchurch Dorset

CASE Thomas Head 74 mar b Whitechurch pauper late spinner
CASE Keziah Wife 66 Mar b Hawkchurch
CASE Tryphena Dau 23 Unm b Hawkchurch Shoe thread spinner
CASE George Grandson 1 b Hawkchurch
FOWLER William Lodger 39 unm b Wotton Ag lab

I suspect he is labouring in Wooton Fitzpaine in 1841 aged 30 so no help there with his family.

Tryphemia CASE was baptised in Hawkchurch on the 14 Dec 1828 (born 28 Mar) daughter of Thomas a labourer and Kezia

possible marriage

Thomas CASE widower OTP = Kezia BENNETT OTP 15 July 1815 Beaminster witnesses Jonathan Bennett and John Marsh (the parish clerk)

and this appear to be the likely first marriage

Thomas CASE = Susanna SYMS widow of Bemister 18 Apr 1804 Whitchurch Canonicorum witnesses Joshua Case and Geo W Poole.

Looking at the IGI Thomas and Susanna had two children in Hawkchurch

Hi Kris:  Thank you so much for the information you provided.  I was wondering when you go to that particular site, are you accessing printed documents?  I have not been able to get any information from that site yet.  I see the reference numbers you have included and was just wondering what material you are finding this information.  Thanks again.  Susan
