I have the following surnames in my Dorset family -

PARK
COX

CHILDS

All in Corscombe/Evershot area.

If anyone else is looking at these names, I'd love to hear from them to share info. I have some census/IGI records.

Many thanks

I have a couple of Childs from Melbury Osmond in my tree, marrying into the Pitcher Family.

I have a few Cox in my family. Joseph Cox married Lucretia Pitfield (my relative) in Symondsbury Dorset 1816. I have no info on this person at all. Also a Tamar Cox married Edward Pitfiled (my relative). She was born abt 1835 and died in 1921. She was from Bradford Peverell, Dorset. I know nothing else about her either. I also have a Thomas Cox married to another relative of mine Anne Pitfield and they married in 1777 in Symondsbury too. My Pitfield family really seemed to like the Cox family haha.  Would be great to find out about there familys. Please could you let me know if any of them are in your tree. With kind regards Donna

Hi Kim, Hi again, Donna,

Kim, welcome to RootsChat !

If you don't already know the Dorset Online Parisch Clerks site at www.dorset-opc.com  then try it and see.  They have a LARGE database and a good search engine.

e.g.
hounsel gives 24 hits
childs gives 82 hits

but if you know a parish, or any relationships, then you can try combinations,  using
the "Find ALL words" search

e.g.
"hounsel corscombe" gives 6 hits  etc, etc

This page should be interesting:  http://www.dorset-opc.com/Corscombe.htm
and maybe this one, too: http://www.dorset-opc.com/1891Evershot.htm (the 1891 Evershot census)

Good luck

Hi Bob - thanks for info, haven't tried the site yet but will do now!

Hi Donna - my only Cox at the mo is Elizabeth who married Nicholas Park in Corscombe in 1748. As far as I know, she was born in Corscombe too. Haven't traced her parents as yet.  If she belongs to you, do let me know!!

I will get hubby on to it, Donna! - Though as far as I know, his Aplins are from Sherborne area. But probably some connection, somewhere!

Any thoughts on my Cox?!
