As I breeze through the families and neighbours of my ancestors in Weymouth, the following streets are of importance for much of the time period beyond 1850 and likely before.
Starting with No. 1 Hope street, Louisa Rose Zelley would be born there in May 1881, but the family would emigrate
to Canada in 1883, so the young Rose wouldn't get to know her Weymouth kinfolk or the neighbours. Of interest, in the 1900's
No. 1 would become a place called the "White House". Funny thing at one time Thomas WHITE and Ann Charlotte BELLAMY
lived on Hope street, but had nothing to do with the community
facility known as the White House.
Rose's uncle William George BAKER would wed one of the Storey girls and move to Bournemouth. Not far from Hope Street was Cove Row where at one time we could find Edward STOREY
and the one called Mary AYLES. But on Cove Street, I wonder
how many folks would have stayed at Mary MABEY's "Old Room Inn".
At one time the old ex-Coastgurd member Richard ZELLEY and
Mary Ann lived at Trinity Street. And in the late 1900's.
I wonder how many folks popped into the tea house at No. 11
or the take away next door! Over the years, many a folk would call Trinity Street or Trinity Road home be it The JETSY family
or the widow Rebecca BUCK. Old Rebecca would pass away
at about 82 in 1891.
Another family in the area was the HONEYBUN family that
would have connections to such families as LOVELL, SYMES,
and BOWDITCH
Of course, if we start looking into the LOVELL families,
that would also take us to such places as The Fleet, Chickerell
and Langton Herring. Then what about the other local families
such as CHICK, MARSHALLSAY, BOWRING, PEARCE, RANDALL, & JOLLIFFE.
With many tangled branches of the many greater Weymouth families is it not surprising that some would be connected to a
MAYO, KELLAWAY, COX and JEFFRIES.
