19 Apr 1615 MARRIAGE:- "Dorset Parish Registers Beaminster- Marriages" Vol 3. edited by W. P. W. Phillimore and Edmund Nevill and published in 1908 show that William DERBY & Marie BRODESTOCKE married 19-Apr 1615 in Beaminster.
[Note:- William DERBY was from Dorchester and an investor in the Dorchester Company - follow link - Mary BRADSTOCKE was the daughter of Joseph BRADSTOCKE of Witchampton by his wife Emma BROWNING See Visitation of Dorset 1623 page 20. Children:-
    (1) Joseph Derby (1616? - Aft 1669? ) Educated at Magdalen Hall Oxford where he matriculated on 29th March 1639 aged 17; May have gone on to Inner Temple 1648; he married Joane COOKE at Thorncombe in Dorset on 1st January 1651/2 and raised a family of six children. He was elected town clerk of Dorchester on 12th Dec 1656. On the 10th May 1660 Charles II was proclaimed at Dorchester and the Mayor John Daniell made a short speech. He was followed by Joseph Derby still Town Clerk. David Underdown in his book about Dorchester 'Fire from Heaven' on page 231 states " He looked back over the 'world of confusions' from which they had just escaped, the strange and ...unheard of government's that had wasted our treasure and much precious blood in the nation'. He then proclaimed Charles II, adding a prayer that his throne might be 'established in righteousness'. There were loud cheers, and the gathering dispersed. Joseph appears to have been alive in 1669 as a conveyance survives at the National Archives (DD/X/WA/22) regarding his part interest in a copyhold tenement in Brockhampton in the parish of Buckland Abbas [now known as Buckland Newton] Dorset called Bewley Wood where his father William Derby with others had purchased the "fee simple" which presumably descended to him on the death of his father in 1649.

    (2) Mary Derby (1617 - 1618) baptised at Holy Trinity church Dorchester on 30th Dec 1617 and buried there on 24th April 1618

    (3) Elizabeth Derby (1620 - ? ) baptised at Holy Trinity Church on 28th June 1620

    (4) Mary Derby (c1622? - ?) according to the 1634 Visitation of Hampshire she married John WHITE (1615-1659/60) the son of Rev. Josias White BD (c.1573 - 1622/3) the brother of Rev John WHITE (1575-1648) . On pages 391/392 of The Rev White's Biography by Rose Troup she states that " John WHITE, second son of Josias, a "merchant adventurer" in Dorchester, married before 1634, Mary, daughter of William DERBY, and removed to London. I have already speculated that Mary's marriage may in fact have been after 1634 as I think Rose Troup, not unreasonably, relied on the date of the Visitation. Regarding her husband Rose Troup refers to "He brought an action against Robert and John Whetcombe, the former having been a member of the Dorchester Company, for goods supplied while he was a merchant adventurer in Dorchester ". I have not located this case but it presumably confirms that they now live in London.

29 Mar 1627 MARRIAGE: at St Michael's Church Stinsford - 1627 29th March between Rinaldo [Renaldo] KNAPTON and Cassandra SPARROWE

[Note:- Renaldo KNAPTON Junior (1602- 1666/7) was baptised in the parish church of St Mary the Virgin at Gillingham in Dorset on 21st March 1602, the son and heir of Renaldo KNAPTON Senior (1570-1641) and Bridget MUSSELL. Cassandra SPARROW (c1602-1680) was the daughter of Thomas SPARROW (died 1629) who had been Keeper of the Dorchester Gaol (situated in All Saints Parish) since some time prior to 1614 and appears to have continued in that capacity until 1626 when he retired and Thomas Devenish (c1589-aft 1638) took over. We know Cassandra's mother's name was Judith from an entry dated 23 Dec 1615 in Sir Francis Ashley's Casebook when she gave evidence and that Cassandra was granted a letter of administration for her father's estate on 9th May 1629 which opresumably means Judith had already died. Her parents would have been buried at All Saints where parish registers prior to 1653 have not survived. Follow links for more information.]

29 Nov 1633 MARRIAGE:- In the parish Church at Abbotsbury under the year "Anno Doni: 1633" November xxxix [29th] - Richard CHURCHILL and Anne PORTER were married on the xxxixth day of November being then a Friday Anno Domini 1633
    [Note:- Abbotsbury lies abt 10 miles ssw of Dorchester, it's nearest market town. There are no surviving marriages in Dorchester until the 19th century for a Richard Churchill (but see date 14th Sep 1630 above) there are however baptisms there in the 17c. Records are poor because of the civil war 1642-1651 only a few bishops transcripts for Fordington survive prior to 1664 for the period 1577 to 1639. Those for 1629, 1632, 1634, 1636 are also missing. No records survive for All Saints or St Peters only Holy Trinity covering this period so it is not possibly to trace a consistent line back through this time. There are 4 unaccounted for baptisms however, 2 in Fordington and 2 in Dorchester HT, which record children none of the four being the children of Richard & Edith marriage in 1630.

c1651 MARRIAGE: circa 1651 between ADAM SMITH of Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester and Elizabeth (Unknown)
    The year 1651 is significant for two reasons. First it marks the official end of the devastating Civil War in Britain which lasted from 1642 to 1651. With many Soldiers settling down or returning home to raise families 1650/1651 saw many marriages of which Adam SMITH's was perhaps typical. Secondly the most likely place they would have married was St Peters in Dorchester where the parish registers were all destroyed during the war, as were those for All Saints church further down High East Street. All we know for sure is that they did not marry in his parish of Holy Trinity (which lies only 4 buildings away from St Peters) on High West Street or St Georges Church in nearby Fordington where records still survive.

    Adam SMITH (bur.1708) & Elizabeth SMITH nee Unknown (bur.1701) What we do know is that they raised a family of 5 children on Dorchester's High West Street as listed below. We also know that Elizabeth recorded in the burial register as the wife of Adam SMITH was buried at Holy Trinity Church on 2nd Oct 1701 followed by Adam on 17th Oct 1708. :-

    (1) John SMITH (1652- ?) baptised at Holy Trinity Church on 11th Aug 1652, he later married Elizabeth LINDSFIELD at Winterborne St Martin in Dorset on 24th June 1685. Follow link for more information about his family

    (2) Anne SMITH (1654-1655) baptised at St Peters Church on 14th March 1654/5 aged 9 days old and buried there 24th April 1655

    (3) Stephen [Stephanus] SMITH (1656- aft 1717?) baptised St Peters Church 4th May 1656 aged 3 weeks. May be the Stephanus SMITH of Dorchester a Brazier by trade who is mentioned in the Dorset Quarter Sessions Records Plea Books at the quarter sessions held at Blandford 14th Jan 1717

    (4) Adam SMITH (1657-1659) baptised at Holy Trinity Church on 14th February 1657/8 aged 3 weeks and buried St Peters Church Dorchester 2nd Jan 1659/60

Joseph and Joane settled in his parish of St Peters in Dorchester and raised the following children before Joane died and was buried at StP on 2nd Oct 1663. Given that their son John was baptised 5 months after her death it may be that he was born earlier and that she died from complications at childbirth.

Bef 1661 MARRIAGE:- Between John BARTLET of All Saints Parish in Dorchester and Deans UNKNOWN
    [Note:- As far as I can tell John and Deans married some time before the restoration but had settled in Dorchester All Saints Parish to live by August 1663. The absence of any children named after themselves probably indicates they had other children before coming to Dorchester which is reinforced by the death of Thomas their son buried at All Saints in 1664 as he would have been born before their arrival and before the birth of Sara in 1663.

    John BARTLETT (bur.1678) was buried at All Saints on 8th May 1678 14 years after the birth of the last of these children. Deans BARTLETT (bur.1706/7) is recorded as a widow at her burial at All Saints on 19th Jan 1706/7. We known of the four children listed below. So far I have not located any further information about the fate of their 3 surviving children.

    (1) Thomas BARTLET born prior to 1662, buried at All Saints Church Dorchester recorded as' Thomas the sonne of John BARTLET buried the 18 of September 1664'

    (2) Sara BARLET baptised All Saints Church Dorchester 30th Aug 1663

    (3) Parsival [Percival?] BARTLET bap All Saints 5th Nov 1664 recorded as 'Parsivall the sonn of John BARTLET & Deans his wife' (possible twins)

Circa 1663 MARRIAGE: Between William BARTLETT of All Saints Parish in Dorchester & Edeth [Edith] UNKNOWN
    [Note:- I believe this to be the second marriage of William BARTLETT the Elder (c1609-1687/9) although I cannot locate the marriage itself. It seems likely that his first wife died circa 1651-1653 and his 2 children by her were both buried at All Saints Church in 1663. The following year we have 5 more children born to a William & Edith Bartlett between 1664-1675. Edeth BARTLETT (bur.1687) was buried at All Saints on 31st May 1687 and only 8 months later William was also buried at All Saints recorded as 'William BARTLETT ye Elder' on 29th Jan 1687/8  :-

    (1) Robert BARTLETT (1664-1703) bap at All Saints Recorded as 'Robert the sonn of William BARTLET and Edeth his wife was baptised the 30th Oct 1664'. I have not located a suitable marriage but a child Mary the daughter of a Robert BARTLETT was baptised at All Saints Church on 9th Jan 1702/3 and Robert BARTLETT was buried at All Saints Church on 28th Dec 1703.

    (2) Margaret BARTLETT (1667-1728) bap All Saints recorded as 'Margaret the daughter of William & Edeth ---- [Surname illegible but would be BARTLETT as middle child and no other Wm & Edeth] was baptised 3rd Nov 1667' - After an extensive search did not locate a burial and only one marriage which is for a 'Margaret Bartlett who married Francis BULY at Upwey on 20th Dec 1694'. Seems quite likely as just over 4 miles away; the average age for marriage at this time was about 26 which given her baptism in Nov 1663 is right on the average; There are no baptisms in Upwey for anybody with the surname Bartlett prior to 1727. Francis BULY and Margaret settled in Upwey and raised a family of 7 children between 1696 and 1709. Margret BULY was buried in Woollen at Upwey July 6th 1728

    (3) Ann BARTLETT (bur.1668) no baptism found , may have died at or soon after Birth?, but buried at All Saints recorded as 'Ann the daughter of William BARTLETT buryed 23rd July 1668'

    (4) William BARTLETT (1671-1741/2 ) bap All Saints recorded as 'William the sonn of William & Edeth BARTLET was baptised 11th June 1671' He married a Mary (Unknown Surname) circa 1709 and raised a family in All Saints Parish of at least 5 children. Follow link form more information

    (5) Elizabeth BARTLETT (bur.1675) no baptism located but buried at All Saints Church recorded as 'Eliyabeth [Elizabeth] the daughter of William BARTLET was buried 16th May 1675 '

c1664 LOST MARRIAGE: Richard & Mary CHURCHILL:

Mr. Richard and Mary CHURCHILL (c1633-1713/14) after marriage (presumably in the brides parish as marriage registers for all three churches and St George's church at Fordington all survived) they raised a family of nine children in St Peters Parish in Dorchester as listed below. He was one of the signatories to the oath of allegiance made to his excellency King Charles II on 31st August 1681 which was signed by 300 of the ruling elite in Dorchester. We only know his wife's name to be Mary from her burial record at St Peters on 5th Feb 1696/7. Richard Churchill was the 2nd child but eldest son of Richard CHURCHILL (c1602-1672) by his wife Edith nee Blatchford (c1613-1670/1). In 1693/4 like his father before him he was elected Bailiff of Dorchester.

We know from his brother John CHURCHILL's will dated 17th Feb 1691/2 that he had another brother William CHURCHILL who had a daughter named Christian who was baptised at St Peters church in Dorchester on 17th Nov 1676 as John left her £150 when she reached the age of 21 or married. Christian married John MILNEY alias DUNBAR at Cerne Abbas on 11th July 1695 and she is a beneficiary under the will of Sarah CHURCHILL, spinster of Dorchester, Dorset dated 17 Nov 1708 but only to the extent of 1 shilling. Sarah's main beneficiary is her brother Richard Churchill (c1633-1713/14) . He was buried at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 19 Feb 1713/4 and left a Will dated 22 Jan 1713 which was proved on 03 Feb 1714/5 and left everything to his sister Sarah asking her to pass on his estates to his son Edward when she dies.

Living at time of his fathers will in 1713 left only 5 shillings as his son appears to have debts but asked his sister Sarah to leave his estates to his son when she dies. She writes her will in 1708 leaving her estate to her brother but if he dies (which he does in 1714) to Edward. Sarah is buried at St Peters on 13th Mar 1716/17.
(9) John Churchill (1680-1695) bap StP 1st Sep 1680 - main beneficiary in his uncle John Churchill's will dated 17th Feb 1691/2. He died at Fordington at the age of 15 and a letter of Administration for his estate was granted to his father Richard on 04 Mar 1696/7 (PCC Admons Folio 47)

Circa 1675 MARRIAGE Between John GLOVER of St Peters Parish in Dorchester and Susanna Unknown

    [NOTE:- John GLOVER (1653-1711) was the son of Henry GLOVER MA BD (1625-1668) by his wife Lucy and baptised at Saint Basil's church at Toller Fratrum in Dorset on 6th April 1653. His actual baptism record states "Anno Domini 1653: John the sonne of Henry GLOVER Minister of Winford Eagle baptized April 6th ".The small church of St Lawrence at Wynford Eagle was at that date a chapelry of St Basils Church at Toller Fratrum and his father would probably then have been a curate as he went on to become Rector of Iwerne Courtney (alias Shroton) on 30th Aug 1660.

      As an aside there is a nice entry in the Iwerne Courtney Parish Register (image 40 of 183 on Ancestry.com) recording Henry's induction to the church. This is actually quite useful as offical church records about him have generally not survived. He has also signed the parish register at the foot of each page until his own death is recorded there (image 42 of 183) on September 11th 1668 and burial at Toller Fratrum the following day.

      Also there is an entry in the Municiple Records of Dorchester (page 607) which States " 1656, Apr 18 "It is ordered that there bee a Conference held with Mr. Glover, of Wynford, either by Mr. Savage or Mr. Whiteway or both of them, concerning his coming hither to bee a Lecturer, whether or no hee will be perswaded to remove to this Towne for 80li, per ann. and a house, or 9[0]/. and a house rather than fayle {fail}."

    John GLOVER married about 1675 to a Susanna, but I have not been able to locate their marriage. They settled in St Peters Parish Dorchester where John Glover worked as an Attorney at law. His name also appears among the list of over 300 people in Dorchester who signed the Corporation's address to King Charles II dated 31st August 1681. They later moved to Holy Trinity Parish which had the same rector. John GLOVER died intestate being buried at Holy Trinity Church on 7th May 1711 with administration of his estate being passed to Lucy their daughter on 21st July 1711. His widow Susanna Glover was also buried at Holy Trinity, on 25th Oct 1716. Known Children:-

    (1) Lucy Glover (1675-1713) bap at St Peters Church Dorchester 10th Mar 1675/6 (Note:- Surname wrongly entered in the parish register as Gloser). When her father died her mother renounced administration of his estate passing it to Lucy as their eldest daughter. She was later buried at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester on 25th Sep 1713.

    (2) Susanna Glover (1677- ? ) (probably a twin with Margaret below) bap with Margaret at St Peters Church Dorchester 4th Dec 1677. No further trace, but there is another burial for a Margaret Glover buried at Upway on 24th March 1705 (Link to entry below). As they were most likely twins it makes me wonder whether there was some confusion which one was buried where.


    (3) Margaret Glover (1677-1705/6) bap St Peters Church Dorchester 4th Dec 1677 buried at Holy Trinity Church on 22nd Jan 1705/6

This is Henry's 2nd marriage. For his 1st Marriage to Hannah GALLER See 17th April 1671 above. After marriage here they lived in Dorchester and had 3 children:-

The very first entry in 1710 was for his 2nd daughter Jane and after the registration in a different hand, the word 'Rector' had been added. There is also a side line entry written virtically "'(First Entry of Revd Hen.

26 Apr 1703 MARRIAGE IN the Parish Church at Stinsford Dorset Between : Thomas PAINE of Wareham & Hannah BANGER of Dorchester were married April: 26 1703
    [Note:- Hannah BANGER was baptised at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester as the daughter of Richard BANGER on 28th Oct 1677. Unfortunately Parish Baptism registers for Wareham do not appear to have survived prior to 1762.
    Thomas and Hannah had a son born on 21st Feb 1703/4 who was baptised at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester as Thomas the son of Thomas PAIN on 20th March 1703/4. An Inventory survives in the Dorset Archdeaconry available on ancestry.com - Image 197 of 319 which states :- "An Inventory of ye goods chattels & C {Credits} of Thomas PAINE Junior late of Wareham in ye County of Dorset deceased on 23rd of September last Appraised by us whose names are hereunto subscribed this 13th day of October 1704". From the inventory he was clearly a well established adult in Wareham and his death is the reason they only had one child. His widow Hannah PAIN re-married at Stinsford on 13th Sep 1716 to Thomas Armstrong.

    Their son Thomas PAIN appears to have enlisted into the 3rd Regiment of Foot circa 1727 and served a total of 21 years before being medically discharged on 10th Feb 1748/9 as he was virtually blind.

    [Note:- Samuel WINZAR (1683-1761) was baptised at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 4 Feb 1682/3 the 3rd child from the marriage of John WINSER (1656-1743) to Mary GREENE at All Saints Church in Dorchester in January 1679/80. The average age of marriage for women was 25 and parish registers for Winterborne Came only survive from 1696. It is possible that Elizabeth also came from Dorchester and they just chose to marry at nearby Winterborne Came ( 2.3 miles away) as many others did. If this was the case there is a baptism at St Peters Church in Dorchester for an Elizabeth the daughter of John HILLARD [HELLARD] in 1676. I have not however managed to clearly establish her background. As far as I can ascertain they had no children. Elizabeth was later buried at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 21st Apr 1743 recorded as Elizabeth the wife of Samuel WINZAR.

William LOCK (d.1754) and Frances BROWN (d.1747) after marriage they lived in Dorchester All Saints Parish and raised a family of 11 children there between 1708 and 1727 - Neither bride or groom were native of Winfrith Newburgh but they appear to have retained an associastion with the parish as their daughter Sarah was to marry there in 1744. William was probably a descendant / close relation of the LOCK Family who have been in Dorchester for generations (many butchers by trade). Children from this marriage :-

c 1709 MARRIAGE : Between William BARTLETT of Dorchester in Dorset and Mary Unknown

William BARTLETT (1671-1741/2) was the 4th known child from the marriage (circa 1709) between his father William BARTLETT of All Saints Parish in Dorchester to an Edeth UNKNOWN. Follow link for more information about his ancestry and siblings. Margaret BARTLETT (1683-1772) So far we have not been able to locate a marriage.

William BARTLETT (1671-1741/2) after marriage they lived in All Saints Parish where they raised a family of 5 children as shown below. Some time after 1715 they moved to live in Fordington where William was buried at St Georges Church on 10th Feb 1741/2. He left a Will dated 5th Feb 1741/2 in which he gives his trade as that of a butcher and leaves everything to his widow Mary BARTLETT, but also names two surviving children, his son William BARTLETT and daughter Edith STYLES both of which are left 1 shilling each. This is nearly always to ensure that they have no claim against the will as they were clearly considered when it was written. It is also because they will have already been financially provided for when they married. After Williams death Mary became the Landlady of the Crown Tavern (Also simply known as 'The Crown' or 'The Crown Inn') in Fordington. Not all Ale House Licences have survived but we have licences in the name of 'Mary BARTLETT Widow of Fordington' for the years 1754; 1755; 1757; 1762; 1767. Mary BARTLETT (1683-1772) was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington as her husband had been before her. She was interred on 12th Feb 1772 aged 89 years. Known children from this marriage :-
    (1) Rebecka [Rebecca] Bartlett (1710- 1738) bap All Saints Church in Dorchester on 27th Aug 1710. Rebecca recorded as the daughter of William & Mary BARTLETT was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 18th April 1738 hence no mention of her in her fathers Will.

    (2) William Bartlett (1711/12-1772 ) bap All Saints 3rd Jan 1711/12 . William married Susannah WHITE at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 13th July 1735 when he would have received any inheritance or support from his father, hence the 1 shilling left in his fathers Will in 1741/2. Follow link for more information about his family.William was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 29th Jan 1772 when his age was given to be 60.

    (3) Edeth Bartlett (1713-1786) named after William's mother, bap All Saints 17th Sep 1713, She married to William STYLE at St Georges Church in Fordington on 29th July 1741. Follow link for info about their 6 children. Edith STYLE nee BARTLETT (1713-1786) was buried at FStG on 21st Sep 1786

    (4) Ruben Bartlett (1715-1715) not baptised but buried with sibling John at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 15th Sep 1715. It is likely these were twins that did not survive birth

    (5) John Bartlett (1715-1715) see Ruben above buried 15th Sep 1715.

03 Oct 1709 MARRIAGE:-At the Parish Church at Bradford Peverell Dorset : John ENSOR of Dorchester St Trinity [i.e. Holy Trinity Parish] & Hannah LOCK of All Saints [Dorchester] were married by Licence 8br 3rd 1709 [Note:- 8br is October see Glossary ]
    John ENSOR (d. 1740) He was buried at All Saints church Dorchester 28th Sep 1740 and left a Will dated 18 Jan 1736 which was Proved 01 Nov 1740. In his Will he is described as a clothier by trade and the Municipal Records of Dorchester refer to a John ENSOR being apprenticed to a Lawrence Shepherd a clothier for 7 years on 7th Jan 1713/14. On the face of it this John ENSOR would have been unusually old to take on a 7 year apprenticeship as he was by then already married with 2 children, but what is interesting is that Lawrence Sheppard had been baptised at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester on 1st Nov 1649 the son of Lawrence Shepherd who died in Dorchester leaving a Will dated 14th Dec 1689 (proved 30th Apr 1690). His mother had also been buried at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 19th Apr 1678. Lawrence Shepherd Junior married at Frampton on 18 July 1699 to Elizabeth ENSOR from Melcombe Regis raising the question of whether this John ENSOR may originate from there as well.

    Hannah Lock (1687-1772) was the daughter of Robert LOCK (1658-1721) a victualler by his wife Hannah WILLIAMS who married at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester on 07-Feb 1681. See Robert LOCK's Will Dated 19 Jul 1721, Proved 20 Nov 1721, which refers to his Son-in-Law John ENSOR having borrowed £12 of his wife Hannah nee Williams in 1713 and leaves it to their first 2 children Hannah and Robert Ensor and a similar bequest to any other of his children that survives until his death and reaches the age of 21. She is sole executrix of her husbands will in 1740.Hannah ENSOR was buried at All Saints Church on 23rd Feb 1772.

    Children from this marriage:-

    (1) Hannah Ensor (1710-?) baptised All Saints Church Dorchester 5th Oct 1710. Left £6 by her grandfather Robert Lock in 1721. She married at All Sts Church 19th July 1732 to Richard HOPKINS and she was left 20 shillings in her fathers will in 1740 and her husband 1 shilling -- which is slightly at odds with a Letter of Administration recorded in Dorset Archdeaconry Court for Richard HOPKINS late of the parish of All Saints in Dorchester who died intestate with administration being granted to his principal creditor Richard Craston 12th Aug 1734 of Southwark in London.There is no mention of Hannah.

    (2) Robert Ensor (1712-1769) baptised All Saints Church Dorchester 28 Sep 1712. Left £6 by his grandfather Robert Lock in 1721 and £6 by his father in 1736. He married at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 13th Jan 1736/37 to Mary LILY. Follow link for more information about their marriage. Mary died and was buried at All Saints Church on 22 Mar 1747/8. I have not located any children from this marriage. Robert remarried to Martha HARMAN at Holy Trinity Church on 10th Sep 1753 and they had a daughter Martha baptised at Holy Trinity Church on 7th Jan 1758. Robert's name also appears on the list of people elibile to serve in the Militia for the parish of Holy Trinity in the year 1758 when he is described as a Clothier by trade. He was buried at All Saints 15th Oct 1769. Martha died a pauper and was buried at All Saints Church 5th April 1790.

    (3) John Ensor (1714-bet 1750-1812) bap St George Church Fordington 4th March 1714/15. Left £6 in his fathers Will in 1736. He married Elizabeth DOWLL [DOWELL] at St Georges Church in Fordington on 11-Apr 1737. Follow link for more information about this family.

17 Nov 1709 MARRIAGE in the Parish Church at Wyke Regis Dorset - Married Anno Domini 1709 : Novembr, 17. John BARTLETT & Lucy BENNETT "L" [were married by Licence]

    [Note:- There are no children born in Wyke Regis following this marriage. Also although poor quality I later confirmed my translation was the same as that published in "Marriages" Volume V, edited by W P W Phillimore & Edmund Neville, published in 1910" and transcribed for OPC by Barbara Hunt. ]

    John BARTLETT (1685-1753) was a Malster by trade and had been baptised at All Saints Church on 29th Mar 1685 the son of John BARTLETT the Elder by his wife Margaret. He was therefore the elder brother of George BARTLETT who had married Ebett FURMAGE at St Peters Church in Dorchester 26th Oct 1717. After marriage John and Lucy settled to live in All Saints Parish in Dorchester where a daughter Elizabeth BARTLETT (1710-1750) was baptised on 11th June 1710. Although we do not have a baptism we know of another son John Bartlett that was buried at All Saints, recorded as he was buried on 10th Feb 1717/18 as, 'John the son of John & Lucy BARTLETT'. John acted as surity for the Administration of George Bartlett's estate when he died intestate in 1731 and their daughter Elizabeth Bartlett (1710-1750) signed the Letter of Administration as a witness.

    John BARTLETT Senior was buried at All Saints Church on 7th Jan 1753 and left a Will dated 10th Aug 1752 which was proved by the oath of 'the widow and Relict of the deceased Lucy BARTLETT' on 18th Jan 1709. He was clearly by standards of the day reasonably wealthy refering to 'houses' when he left everything to his wife.The only other bequest was an Item stating:- ' I leave to all my children a shilling each'. This was a common legal ploy used in Wills to prevent, and rule out, anyone who might be able to contest the Will. It's inclusion here however in 1752 does probably mean that they had other children we know nothing about.  Lucy was buried as Lucia BARTLETT Widow at All Saints Church Dorchester on 30th Jan 1772.

    Their surviving daughter Elizabeth BARTLETT (1710-1750), described as being from Dorchester, married Henry EVOMY of Blandford Forum at Milton Abbas on 14th Aug 1732. They did not settle in Milton Abbas and I notice that a daughter named as Lucia is recorded in St Peters parish as being baptised there on 16th April 1734 to a Harry EVOMY. This child descibed as Lucia the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth EVOMY was later buried at All Saints Church on 3rd June 1744, Followed on 20th Aug 1750 by Elizabeth the wife of Henry EVOMY.

04 Apr 1710 MARRIAGE In the Parish Church at Mapperton Dorset under the heading April 1710: Date side line entry '4' : Married Edward CHAFFY [CHAFFEY] of Beaminster Shopkeeper & Martha HERNE of Netherbury.
    Note:- 1710-1721: Despite an extensive search I have not been able to locate Edward and Martha after their marriage here in 1710 for the next 11 years during which time they undoubtedly raised their family until , Edward moved them all to live in Dorchester and was appointed Keeper of the County Gaol there in 1721. On 12th July 1723 Edward was probably living in Fordington as he was a witness to a Bastardy Maintenance Bond signed there between William CHURCHILL a husbandman of Fordington and the Churchwardens of St Georges Church regarding the birth of a bastard child on the body of the widow Charity Churchill.

    I only know of two, possibly three, children who are shown below, but there were probably others.

    (1) James CHAFFEY Senior (c1711-1782). We pick up James at his marriage to Elizabeth BATT at Compton Valence in Dorset on 6th Feb 1736/7 when he is described as being from All Saints Parish in Dorchester which is where the Gaol was situated. Follow link for more information about his family and descendants. As was traditional James took over the roll of Keeper of Dorchesters Gaol from his father on his fathers death in 1728.

    (2) Edward CHAFFEY Junior (c 1714-1778) As a young man he moved to live in Fordington where he learned the trade of being a currier. By 1838 he was well established as he was able to take on his first apprentice (Simon Jenkins). Annoyingly I cannot locate Edward's marriage to his wife Joan circa 1742, but they settled in Fordington and raised five children there (follow link provided for more information) . His children and wife all seem to have pre-deceased him but he left a Will dated 16th Sep 1778 leaving everything to his brother James which firmly links him as part of the same family. .

    (3) Daniel CHAFEY (c1718--1756) He became a Cutler by trade and established his own business before he married Susannah JACKSON at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 10th April 1748. Follow link for more information about his family.

    Note:- Edward CHAFFEY Senior (bur.1727/8) was appointed Keeper of the County Gaol in Dorchester in 1721 and his name appears in the Quarter Session Records each year from that date when he claimed his expenses from the Court for a variety of costs, not only in repairing the Gaol, but also transporting prisoners to the gaol for punishment such as being whipped through the streets or transportation to the West Indies etc. Link to some Quarter Session records (then scroll down for other entries)

    The job of Keeper of the County Gaol had, with only a few short exceptions, been traditionally passed down in the same family. Thomas SPARROW (bur.1629) for example was Keeper from before 1614 until he tried to retire in 1626. It passed briefly to Thomas Devenish (c1589-aft 1638) who was dismissed in 1628, and Thomas SPARROW stepped back into the beach assisted by his son-in-law Renaldo Knapton Junior (1602-1666/7). Renaldo had married his only surviving daughter Cassandra SPARROW in 1627 and was made under sherriff of Dorset in 1629 the same year Thomas SPARROW died. Thomas Devenish appears to have been given another chance and Renaldo and his family moved to Fordington from All Saints in Dorchester. Irregularities continued however and by 1643 Renaldo KNAPTON was firmly back as Keeper of the Goal. On his death in 1666 the role of Keeper of the Gaol was passed to his son Thomas KNAPTON the elder (1628-1685) and from there to his son Thomas KNAPTON the Younger (1622-1725). He retired from the post in 1721 and the job passed across to Edward CHAFFEY (d.1727/8). Edward held the post until he died when his son James Chaffey (c.1711-1782) shown above took on the role who again held it until his own death in 1782 when it passed to his son Batt Chaffey in 1782.

    His wife Martha CHAFFEY nee HERNE was later buried at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 9th Aug 1723 (Note:- specifically recorded as 'Martha ye wife of Mr. Edward Chafey' ). and she was joined at All Saints when Edward CHAFFEY Senior died and was buried there on 13th Feb 1727/8.

11 Jan 1712/13 MARRIAGE at the Parish Church at Bloxworth Dorset under the year '1712' Samuell MEADER & Ann TELSE was married 11 of January anno domini 1713 [Note:-

[Note:- Samuel MEADER the Elder (1685-1754) was baptised at Dorchester in Dorset on 14th June 1685 the 4th child from the marriage of Thomas MEADER Senior (d.1691) by his wife Jane [Jenny] FOOK. On 7th Jan 1702/3 at the age of 17 he became an apperentice to his elder brother Charles MEADER who was a Millwright. Ten years later he married Ann at Bloxworth. As far as I can see Ann was not a native of the parish. After marriage they settled in Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester and raised a family of 4 children as shown below. His widowed mother Jane died in 1715 and Samuel was the main beneficiary and executor of her will. Ann was also a beneficiary under her Mother-in-law's will. Ann died in 1720 so there were no more children after John. I doubt that her surname is correct and the closest name I came across was a family whose surname was Tilsed and lived in Wimborne Minster around this date but I cannot locate a baptism. She was buried at HT on 23rd February 1720/1. Samuel was also executor of his sisters will dated in 1748 but died before she did. He lived into his 70's and died intestate in 1754 being buried at HT on 18th Jan 1754. A letter of Administration for his estate was granted to his son Samuel MEADER the Younger on 23rd Jan 1754.
    (1) Jane MEADER (1713-1722) bap HT 8th Feb 1713/14. Whilst still an infant she was a beneficiary under her grandmothers will in 1715 being left the best pair of doggs [i.e. firedogs] four pewter dishes & one kettle two pairs of sheets and one dozen of [damaged missing] napkins [rest of line damaged or missing] clothes & the low room on the south side of the house wherein I now live & a small garden plott according to the substance of the ground & the cork fewel house in case she pleases her father in matrimony. Unfortunately she died young being buried at HT Church on 26th March 1722.

    (2) Samuel MEADER the Younger (1715/16-1756) bap HT 18th Jan 1715/16. He also like his forebears became a Millwright, and married Elizabeth [Betty] HUNT at at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 9th Apr 1738 who was also a beneficiary under Jane Guests will in 1748. Samuel died intestate and was buried at HT on 22 Dec 1756

In transcribing the date however it is necessary to notice that all the other dates are written in roman numerals - It is actually written as "ii" Meaning II or 2nd of January]
    [Note:- There is some evidence to suggest that after marriage they settled for a time in her home parish of Beaminster as two children are recorded as being baptised there:-
    (1) Elizabeth HUNT bap 27th Nov 1719 and (3) Thomas HUNT bap 11th Mar 1725. The parish registers & transcripts are by no means complete and it is possible that he had another son named (2) James HUNT between these two children who is the James HUNT (1724-1774) who later married Mary ROGERS (d.1764) at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 6th May 1744. I note that another son Ebaston the son of James HUNT was buried at Beaminster 9th Nov 1725 after which the family seems to have moved out of the parish and may well therefore have come to live in Dorchester circa 1726. Another child (4) Jean HUNT was duly baptised at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 10 Jun 1728. James HUNT Senior was buried on 11th Apr 1770 at FStG when his age was recorded as being 80 years]

25 Sep 1718 MARRIAGE in the Parish Church at Upcerne Dorset : Zachary NELSON of Dorchester St. Trinity & Mary  HARDY of Bothenhampton were married Sept 25th 1718.
    [Note:- Zachery [Zacheria] NELSON (1673-1735) was the eldest of seven children of John & Joan NELSON of Dorchester and baptised at Holy Trinity church on 6th July 1673. Follow link provided for more information about his parents and siblings. His father died in April 1715 and for such an influencial man he seems to have omitted to regularise the position of his son and heir Zacheria within the Corporation and I can't even locate a Will or Letter of administration for his father's estate. We find for example that Zacheria is only formally admitted as a member of the Company of Freemen on 15th Sep 1715 when it says he was apprenticed to his father John Nelson for 7 years. Given that his father is already dead this can only be a case of regularising the bookkeeping and recording that he has now paid the admission fee. Now he's a member of the Company they then formally recognise him as a Capital Burgess of Dorchester on 23rd Sep 1715. He was Bailff the following year and re-elected in 1719; 1722 and 1731. He was twice Mayor of Dorchester first in 1717 and again on 12th Dec 1729 . When the existing Alderman Richard SAMWAYS died he was elected in his place as an Alderman of Dorchester on 6th Feb 1726/7. He was buried at HT Church on 04 Feb 1735/6 leaving a Will dated 27 Jan 1735 in which he names his brother John Nelson (1682-1750); his brother in law Joseph Hardy; his wife Mary and 4 surviving children. Mary NELSON (1685-1773) appears as Widow Nelson on page 691 of the Municipal records of Dorchester as paying the burgage rate in Holy Trinity Parish in the year 1737. She died at the age of 88 being buried at HT on 14 Jan 1773. She left a will dated 29 Aug 1768 naming her son Zachary :-

[Guide* for those not used to old documents :- Care needs to be exercised when reading this particular register [image 54]. John Watkins marriage is actualy under marriages for the year A.no Dm 1719: [meaning Anno Domini - in the year of our Lord 1719] there being no separate heading for 1720, - clearly an omission. The scribe is entering dates down the left column stating the month and underneath the day, hence it starts with March 30 [1719] for Robt Carter etc: The right hand column states whether it is a baptism or a marriage [which is expressed as Nupt: a recognised abbreviation for ' nupti fuerunt' or were married]. Burials are elsewhere in the Registers. The year changes from 1719 to 1720 after the baptism of Elizabeth ye daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Maber on 19th Feb 1719 (which should be expressed in transcriptions as 1719/20).

The month entry for John Watkins Marriage is not very clear but is ( 7ber ) which refers to the seventh month of the year, which is not July but September as the year did not start until 25th March.

During 1763/4 he was Overseer of the Poor and 1765/7 churchwarden for the parish. Either he or his one of his sons is recorded as being paid for bleeding Mr HOBB's wife on 1st April 1770 and the burial register for the parish of Wool in Dorset on 18th Nov 1770 records the burial of a John Wellsted who died at Dorchester under the care of Dr Buckland 'who cut off a cancer from his shoulder" John was buried at HT on 12th Dec 1782 having been predeceased by his wife Sarah on 16th Aug 1779

    (1) John Buckland (c1737-?) bap 29 Jan 1738/9 . He was admitted as a member of the Freemen of Dorchester on 21st Sept 1772.

BACKGROUND Notes about this family:- [I am grateful to Mr Roy Bowden descendant for much of this background]

Edward CASHER (1740-1809) was born at Winterborne Monkton in Dorset, son of John and Ann CHASIER [i.e. CASHER]. He and his 4 siblings were all duly baptised in St Michael & St Jude's Church in the village. Vizt :- David Chashier bap 1st May 1732, John Chashier bap 13th April 1735, Elizabeth Casher bap 12th Apr 1738, Edward CASHER bap 15th Oct 1740, and Mary Casher bap 29th Nov 1744 [Ref CLDS Film 1239260].

The family were poor and like many others at this time struggled to find enough food to live on. As a consequence they came before the courts on a number of occasions. His brother John first appeared before the court with his father at the age of 13 in 1748 when they were both prosecuted for stealing by Henry Sherren a yeoman of Nether Cerne. John junior was next brought before the General Quarter Sessions held at Sherborne 25th April 1786 when he was described as being "John CASHER from the parish of Winterborne Monkton, aged 49 (born 1739?); unmarried; labourer with dark hair and complexion and grey eyes. He was found guilty of stealing two barton fowls and two ducks the property of William Thresher of Broadmayne a yeoman, valued at 10 shillings, for which it was "ordered that he be confined in the House of Correction of this County for three calendar months and to be publicly and severely whipped at Sherborne in this County on Saturday next in the public market place at noon and also to be publicly and severely whipped at Dorchester in this County at the market day there at noon previous to his being discharged. On the 14th May 1787 he was caught poaching and fined £20 or imprisoned for 3 months so was probably imprisoned. He was caught for a third time and found guilty of stealing fowl at the easter assizes in 1795 for which he spent two years in Dorchester Gaol (from 30th March 1795 to 14th April 1797)

Edward's elder brother David CASHER (1732-1795) married twice and by July 1767 was living at Fordington. Follow link for more information.

Edward CASHER (1740-1809) Described as being 21 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, single and from Winterbourne Monkton, volunteered as a Militia substitute and was accepted to serve for 3 years on 16th April 1762 for James Hellier from the parish of Buckland Newton who had been selected by ballot to serve for that parish. Completion of his service was confirmed at the meeting held at Dorchester on 29th March 1765 when he was described as Edward CASHER of Winterborne Monkton a carpenter by trade and substitute for James Hellier a blacksmith. [Note:- images available on ancestry.com] As shown above Edward married in Stratton when he was aged 23 to Mary nee DAVIS (1743-1817) and they moved to work and live in All Saints Parish in Dorchester around 1772/3. When they died however all members of the family appear to have been returned to Stratton for burial - possibly together in a family plot. Edward died at the age of 68 and was buried at Stratton on 2nd Jan 1809. Mary, who was then described as being from Bere Regis, died at the age of 74 being buried at Stratton on 3rd Dec 1817. They had the following children:-

    (1) Mary Casher (1766-?) bap Stratton 13th Mar 1766
    (2) Sarah Casher (1766-1767) bap 13 Mar 1766 and buried Stratton 27 Jan 1767

    Note:- Robert STICKLAND (1744-1804) was baptised at All Saints Church Dorchester on 29th June 1744 the eldest son of Nathaniel STICKLAND (d.1761) an attorney & Martha nee Small who married at All St's Church on 14 Nov 1742. He was apprenticed to his father at the age of 16 on 8th Jan 1760 and made a freeman of Dorchester on 18th March 1782 and 3 days later a Capital Burgess of the town. He was subsequently elected Bailiff of Dorchester 4 times, in 1783; 1789; 1790 and 1796 and Mayor 3 times in 1784; 1791 and 1799. On 22nd July 1794 when William Gundry died he was made an Alderman of Dorchester. Robert was buried at All Saints Church on 9 Feb 1804 and left a Will dated 2nd Jan 1804 which was proved in London on 07 March 1804. Jane STICKLAND nee MITCHEL (1744-1822) was buried at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 7th Jan 1822 at the age of 78. She also left a will dated 30 May 1817 which was proved by her son Nathaniel on 25 June 1822.

    Children:- from the marriage:-
      (1). Nathaniel Stickland (1770-1829) bap All St's Church 23rd Jan 1770. In 1797/8 the danger of invasion from France led to an increase in the size and organisation of the Militia. In May 1798 Nathaniel (with his fathers support) was made a Captain of the Dorset Militia and with 1,100 French soldiers landing in County Mayo in Ireland in August 1798 the Dorset & Devon Militia were ordered to Ireland. They embarked on the frigate HMS Arethusa on 1st Sep 1798 and arrived at Carrick on the 12th. Fortunately whilst they were in transit the French had already surrendered at the battle of Ballinamuck in the County Longford when 96 French officers and 748 men were taken prisoner. The Dorset Militia were then used to control local uprisings or disturbances and search for weapons before returning to Dorset in Oct 1799.

      Nathaniel was made a Capital Burgess of Dorchester on 5th Oct 1801 and elected Bailiff of the town for the first time on 4th Oct 1802 (also Bailiff 5th Oct 1818 and 4th Oct 1819). The following year (1803) he was Mayor of Dorchester being elected again in 1810 and 1820. He was Executor and a beneficiary under his fathers will in 1804 and was elected Alderman of Dorchester on 2nd Oct 1809, and Town Clerk on 2nd Oct 1815. He remained a bachelor and died at Dorchester at the age of 59 and was buried at All Saints church on 15th May 1829. He left a Will dated 7th Aug 1828 which was Proved at London on 29 August leaving most of his estate to his siblings.

George Edward Cox was born in Aldersgate in London on 5th July and baptised as the son of William & Martha Cox at St Botolph's church on the 11th Oct 1767. As an adult he joined the church and had been appointed Rector of St Nicholas Church in Hinxworth Hertfordshire on 16th Nov 1797. He died there on 19th May 1822 being buried in the churchyard on 27th. He left a will dated 3rd July 1819 (PROB 11/1663) in which he leaves his estate to his wife Mary Susanna who, along with her brother Nathaniel Stickland a Gentleman of Dorchester, are named as joint executrix and executor. She had also been a beneficiary under her married name of Mary Suzanna COX in her mothers will dated in 1817 but proved in June 1822 when she was left £125 for her own use. They had 7 children together all born at Hinxworth in Hertfordshire:-

        (3.1) George Cox (1799- 1878) bap Hinxworth 31 Jan 1799 - remained a bachelor granted probate of mothers will 1862, living 15 Southwick Crescent Hyde Park London in April 1871 aged 72.

        (3.2) Emily Ann Cox (1801-1874) born c1801 remained a spinster living with brother George aged 70 in April 1871 but then moved with her sister Charlotte to live at Cottered Buntingford Hertfordshire where she died 11th Oct 1874 leaving an estate of under £3,000

        (3.6) Jane Cox (1809-1882) Born Hinxworth 18 Jan 1809 Bap St Nicholas 1st June 1818; married Charles Charnock Nelson (1808-1878) 11 Dec 1845 St Johns church Paddington. He died 10 Sep 1878 leaving her a widow. Jane died 19 Mar 1882 at 30 Hyde Park Gardens leaving as estate of £45,980
        (3.7) Henrietta Cox (1818 -1818 ) Bap St Nicholas church Hinxworth 1st June 1818 (may have been buried at St Mary's church Gloucestershire aged 7 months 3rd Aug 1818?)
        (3,8) Martha Cox (1818 -1818) Bap 26th July 1818 and buried 1st Aug 1818 at Hinxworth.

      By April 1851 Mary Susanna was recorded as living at 15 Southwick Crescent in the district of Paddington in London where she is described as a 'land holder'. With her are 4 of her unmarried children, George aged 52, Emily aged 50, Mary Ann aged 48 and Charlotte aged 42 with 3 servants also living in. By this date she had also adopted the use of an additional 3rd Christian name of 'Michel' which appears on the registration of her death at the GRO in 2nd quarter of 1861 and her burial record at Hinxworth which the Church of Latter Day Saints has recorded (Film xxx) as being on the 19th May 1861. She left a will however and an estate of just under £1,500 with probate granted to her son George on 24th March 1862. This states that she actually died on 24th May 1861 at Southwick Crescent Hyde Park London so it would be necessary to get the death certificate to confirm the true date of death

      (4). John Parry Stickland (1774- 1776) baptised at the age of 18 months at All St's Church in Dorchester on 15th May 1776.

      (5). Charles Stickland (1776-1845) bap All St's 29th Jan 1776. No mention in fathers Will of 1804 probably because he had already been set up in business. He married Maria COSENS at Longburton on 9 May 1815 and was left £250 in his mothers will in 1822.

      (6). Henrietta Stickland (1777-1862) bap All St's 2nd Aug 1779 remained a spinster and was a beneficiary under her fathers will in 1804 and mothers will in 1822. Described as a landed proprietor, an annuitant, and of independent means all the census returns for 1841; 1851 and 1861 show here living at 6 South street (with her spinster sister Frances until she died in 1858) supported by a house servant Hannah Gibbs. She died on 26th April 1862 at Wrackleford House in the parish of Stratton (her widowed sister Jane's house) and was probably buried at Dorchester Cemetery. She left a Will which was proved on 4th June 1862 and an estate of under £5,000

      (7). Jane Stickland (1780-1875) Not baptised until 1st Jan 1800 at All St's with her younger sister Frances; still a spinster she was a beneficiary under her fathers will in 1804. She married Robert PATTISON (1764-1845) on 4th Nov 1812 at Hinxworth in Hertfordshire and was a beneficiary under her brother Nathaniuel's will in 1829. They lived at Wrackleford House in Stratton where Robert died at the age of 81 being buried at Stratton on 11th Aug 1845. Jane died at her house on 11th April 1875. Her age at burial was given as 91? [GRO under Pattinson also records her age at death as 91] and she was buried with her husband on 20th April 1875 leaving a Will with 2 codicils and an estate of under £16,000..

      (8). Ann Stickland (1783-1870) No trace of baptism.

MARRIAGE: Between Richard PHIPPARD [Alias FIPPARD] (1736-1821) and Elizabeth UNKNOWN (1735-1818 )

After Marriage they settled in Dorchester Holy Trinity Parish c1769 and moved to live in All Saints Parish Children in 1774 where they remained for the rest of their lives.

Richard PHIPPARD was arrested 3 times late in life:- 1st on the 18th Sep 1812, which is a key record as it tells us a lot about him. First he gave his age as being 76 which makes him born c1736 and a year older then his wife. At burial in 1821 his age was estimated as 78 (1743) but I have used his prison record as being 1st hand and more reliable. He also gave his trade as that of a gardener and that he was married with 8 children. It also gave a physical description as being 5ft 4½ ins tall with gray hair and eyes with a fresh complexion. Marks on the body were always recorded in case prisoners escaped and he was said to have "a strawberry nose, a burley face, with a cut on right side of upper lip and his left wrist was injured with a lusty appearance". He had been arrested for stealing potatoes, was found guilty and as he had a family to support he was given the choice of paying a fine of £1. 16s or 2 months imprisonment in the house of Correction. He paid the fine and was discharged the same day. His subsequent arrests simply referred back to this original record for personal details. The 2nd arrest was on 16th Jan 1813 for assault for which he got 1 weeks imprisonment the lightest sentence I came across. His 3rd arrest was on 5th June 1816 for not having paid his rent for what looks like a long time, he was sentenced to inprisonment until he paid the sum due of £13. 16s 6d. Whilst this may seem strange in Dorchester they were sent to the House of Correction for debt and put to work there for which they were paid a wage. Although most went to cover his keep etc he would have been credited with the balance. He was eventually released on 2nd June 1818.

Elizabeth recorded as the wife of Richard FIPPARD was buried at All Sts on 2nd Feb 1818 when her age was given as being 83. Richard FIPPARD died in Dorchester Hospital and was returned to All Sts for burial on 4th Sep 1821 when his age was given as being 78. Known Children from this marriage:-

Her age of 98 at death in 1890 (i.e. born 1792) is unlikely to be correct as estimated after her decease and her parents 1st child was baptised in 1793.

27 May 1792 MARRIAGE: Upwey Dorset Entry 28 Between Thomas SLADE of the parish of St Peters in Dorchester and Mary LOCKE resident of Upwey were married in this church by Licence this twenty seventh day of May in the year 1792 by me Rev. Samuel Fawkener Curate both their signatures witnesses William Whittle and Frances Bawley

[Note:- Mary LOCK (b.1770-1842) was the 1st child from the marriage of George LOCK (1780-1837) to Mary POUNCY (1740-1796) who married at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 2nd Sep 1764. Her father died in 1837 leaving a bequest to his daughter Mary the wife of Thomas SLADE a Stone Mason for £100 together with his clothes and wearing apparel.

Thomas SLADE (1767-1840) The Municipal Records of Dorchester refer to Thomas SLADE as a Master Mason taking on an apprentice Sydenham Baker on 19th March 1801. Thomas died at Dorchester being buried at All Saints church at the age of 73 on 30th Dec 1840. Mary his widow moved to Durngate Street in Dorchester taking her daughter Charlotte and son William with her. Mary was also buried at All Saints Church in Dorchester on the 10th Aug 1842. They had the following children baptised in All Saints Parish Dorchester:-
    (1) Mary Lock Slade (1793-aft 1828) bap 24 June 1793 All Saints Church Dorchester, She married John Saunders CURTIS a tailor by trade at All Saints church on 10th Nov 1822. They settled initially in Holy Trinity parish but became members of the Durngate Independent Church where a daughter Louisa Sarah Curtis born on 18th Nov 1823 was baptised on 1st Dec 1823. They had moved by 1828 to live at Market Place in Blandford Forum and attended the Independent church there where they had a daughter Mary Jane and a son Charles Thomas baptised together on 22nd May 1828.]

    (2) Thomas Slade Junior (1794- 1867) was baptised on 29 Dec 1794 at All Saints Church in Dorchester. His father was a Master Stone Mason and as his son and heir he would normally serve his apprenticeship under his father. We know his father took on an apprentice in 1801 and this was normally for a period of 7 years so he would be looking for another circa 1808. Unfortunately records are not complete, ending at the end of 1807 with one late entry in 1808. In practice I think Thomas Junior would have worked with his father from an early age but it looks like formal accreditation ran from 1808 for 7 years making him 21 years old in 1815. His father undoubtedly funded the purchase of an existing business in Southampton previously owned by a Mr.Taylor and situated nearly opposite the George Inn. On Monday 30th January 1815 he advertised in the Salisbury and Winchester Journal trading as "T.SLADE, Marble and Stone Mason".

    He probably married late in 1816 or very early in 1817 to a Charlotte Unknown (1791-1863) as their 1st child was born in Oct 1817. [Unfortunately records for Hampshire have not been transcribed on ancestry.com. From Census returns we know she was born in Birmingham circa 1791 and her death certificate confirms her death at 2 Gloucester Square Southampton on 17th Nov 1863 aged 73].

    In August 1818 Thomas starts trading as Thomas SLADE, Statuary, Marble and Stone Mason from new premises in Vincent Walk opposite Hanover Buildings Above Bar in Southampton. In May 1820 he advertises in the Windsor and Eton Press as T.SLADE (from Southampton) and advises the people of Egham and Staines that 'he has taken a House and Premises by 'Staines Bridge' where he intends carrying on business as a Statuary and Mason. On 14th May 1825 there is an advert in the Windsor and Eton Press that T SLADE Statuary and Mason of Staines Bridge is disposing of his business and selling off stock. This appears to be when he stopped trading as a stone mason. His son William Cox Slade is baptised in 1826 at St Lawrence & St Johns church in Southampton. On 19th Aug 1833 an announcement in the Salisbury and Winchester Journal confirms that he has become the Innkeeper of the Fleur-de-Lis Inn in Winchester.We know from an advert in the London Courier and Evening Gazette dated 22nd July 1834 that by then he had recently changed the name to Wykeham Arms Inn and Posting House. Thomas with his wife and daughters Charlotte, Mary and Elizabeth were there in June 1841 and the Inn is still there today at 75 Kingsgate Street.

    By January 1848 Thomas had moved his family back to Southampton and was living at 2 Gloucester Square where he operated as an Accountant as the following notice appeared in the Dorset County Chronicle on Thursday 20th Jan 1848:-

      NOTICE- All Persons remaining indebted to the late firm of GEORGE and WILLIAM SLADE Builders of Dorchester are requested to pay the amount of their respective bills to Mr T.SLADE of No.2 Gloucester Square Southampton, who is duly authorised to institute legal proceedings for the recovery of such debts. Signed George SLADE and William SLADE Dated January 17 1848.

    They appear in both the 1851 and 1861 Census returns as still living at this address. Thomas, a Freemason appears in several newspapers in that capacity, one in the Dorset Chronicle on 2nd June 1859 states that ' he has been rendered incapable of business by paralysis'. He died on 13th Dec 1867 leaving a Will and an estate of under £200

Robert Warr Marriage 1792

MARRIAGE in the Parish of Pulham in the county of Dorset:: May 30th 1792:: Were married by Banns Robert WARR Bachelor of this Parish and Elizabeth PHILLIPS (*) [PHELPS] of the Parish of All Saints in the town of Dorchester, Spinster. This marriage was solemnized by us : The 'X' mark of Robert WARR and signature of Eilz PHELPS In the presence of George Shine? and John Warr.

Elizabeth PHELPS (1768- ) came from a relatively wealthy family by standards of the day being the 2nd child from the marriage of William PHELPS of St Peters Parish in Dorchester to Elizabeth CORBIN at Maiden NEWTON on 10th June 1765. She was baptised at St Peters in Dorchester on 17th Sep 1768. Her family moved from St Peters to All Saints Parish by the time she was seven years old. She gave birth however to an illegitimate daughter whom she had baptised as Sarah Phelps at All Saints Church on 13th Apr 1789 and appears to have been disowned by her father being left only one shilling in his Will in 1799.
    [Note:- After marriage Robert and Elizabeth settled to live in her parish of All Saints in Dorchester having 7 of their 8 children baptised there between 1793 and 1805. By 1810 they had moved to live in Fordington where their last child Amelia was baptised. On 28th July 1812 both Robert and Elizabeth were arrested charged with Burglary and stealing bacon. The Prison register of the County gaol in Dorchester records their parish as Pulham in Dorset (but states they are living in Fordington) and for them to be married with 6 (living) children. Elizabeth was acquitted and released from the County Jail on 16th March 1813, but Robert was sentenced to Death although quickly reprieved and his sentence reduced to 2 years hard labour. He was released from the County Jail in Dorchester on 12th March 1815.

    On the 14th day of Aug 1818 Sarah SPRACKLING a single woman gave birth to a base born girl she had baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 22nd Aug 1818 as Mary Ann SPRACKLING. A Bastardy order was issued against Robert WARR the reputed father of the child on 3rd October 1818 and he was made to pay to the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor of Fordington the sum of £1. 5s. 0d towards the costs of her lying and maintenance to date, and to pay 9d a week thereafter.

    On the 14th March 1838 the Churchwardens and Overseers of Fordington were granted a Removal Order for Robert WARR and his wife Elizabeth to be removed from Fordington to Pulham. Known children from this marriage :-

They lived at nearby Stinford where they raised a large family. They are in the 1841 and 1851 Census returns the latter confirming that Mary was born at All Saints in Dorchester aged 55.

20 July 1794 MARRIAGE at the parish church at Charminster Dorset No. 12 in the Marriage Register Between James BARTLETT & Lucy CLARK both of this Parish were married in this church by Banns on 20th day of July in the year 1794 by me Rev. Giles Meech Curate, both their signatures in the presence of John White and Henery Dewland
    [Note:- To understand this family it is first necessary to have an understanding of the area where they lived which is not straightforward. Charminster sits just 1.7 miles north of Dorchester but the boundary of Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester also extends some way north over the river to embrace the tiny hamlet of Frome Whitfield. Most of its inhabitants were farm labourers and with Frome Whitfield lying a bit eastwards but basically between Charminster and Dorchester births, marriages and deaths can be in in either, often depending on which fields they were employed on or where relatives lived. The hamlet like many others in the area takes it name from the River Frome which runs between Frome Whitfield and Dorchester itself. As a consequence it was often just referred to, even in Census Returns, as 'Whitfield' or 'Whitefield'. To complete the picture Stinsford lies under 2 miles east of the center of Dorchester and has a direct road running through Frome Whitfield to Charminster]

    James BARTLETT (1770-1822) We known that James BARTLETT was born about 1770 from his burial at Charminster on 23rd Jan 1822 when he is recorded as being 52 years old. This of itself seems about right as he would be aged about 24, not far off the average age of 27 at which men married . At marriage both James and Lucy had Settlement at Charminster and it is clear that Lucy CLARK (1775-1855) was baptised at Charminster on 19th Feb 1775 the daughter of Stephen and Alice CLARK. but we know for certain that James was not born there as there were no Bartlett baptisms in the parish for at least a decade either side of 1770.

    James, like the majority, was an agricultural labourer and died before Census returns became available but the birth of his children suggests to me that he was being hired annually, probably at the annual hiring fair in Dorchester. Employment usually meant working for the landlord for at least a year and he would provide a small cottage for the family which would have a small strip of land on which he could grow crops to feed them when not working in the Landlords fields. When their 1st child James Bartlett junior was born in 1795 they were living of Frome Whitfield. so had him baptised in the parish church of Holy Trinity in Dorchester. Their next child Jane Bartlett was baptised at St Michael's church in Stinsford in 1798. 5 of the remaining 6 children were all baptised at Charminster where they stayed until James died there at the age of 52 and was buried at St Mary's church on 23rd Jan 1822. Lucy is in the 1841 Census aged 70/74 and of independent means. Also the 1851 Census, Lucy Bartlett a widow aged 77; Pauper formerly Servant born Charminster. She lived to be 80 (ancestry.com image 44 of 154 - GRO 2nd qtr 1855 Dorchester Dist Ref5a/57) and was buried at St Mary's on 22nd May 1855. Children from this marriage:-

    (1) James Bartlett (1795-1878) As explained above born at Frome Whitfield. and baptised in the parish church of Holy Trinity in Dorchester on 3rd May 1795. As a young man he worked as an agricultural labourer and by 1816 had made his way to Hilton where he was living when he married Charlotte COATES on 4th Jan 1816 in her parish of Dewlish Dorset.

30 Mar 1795 MARRIAGE: No.274 Between Edward ENSOR of the Parish of All Saints in Dorchester Dorset and Ruth STEPHENS of Yeovil were married by licence 30th March 1795 both their signatures witnesses Elizabeth Holloway and A? Ensor.
    [Note:- Edward ENSOR (1748-1832) Gentleman was baptised on 8th Mar 1748 at Dorchester the son of John ENSOR (1714-1753) and Elizabeth DOWLE (1715-1781). He married first to Rebecca BARTLETT at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 23rd July 1770 but as far as I know they had no children before Rebecca died and was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 30th Jan 1795. Edward appears to be a butcher by trade as there is a record of him taking on apprentices, Richard Galpin on 12th Jan 1773 and George Pople 2nd Dec 1774. Also his elder brother William Ensor was a butcher as was their father.

    Only 2 months later on 30th March 1795 Edward remarried at St John Church in Yeovil to Ruth STEPHENS (1767-1837). After marriage they had one child in All Saints Parish and 3 more in St Peters before moving to Fordington about the year 1803. In 1809 Edward is recorded as Churchwarden of St Georges Church in Fordington where they had several more children as shown below. Edward wrote his Will on Dated 20 Oct 1828 (follow link for transcription) making his sons Edward and John Ensor joint exectors but also provisions for his wife and other children. He is listed among the Gentry of Dorchester in the first ever Street Directory issued by Pigot's in 1830 and was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 19th Mar 1832 aged 83 Years. Ruth ENSOR nee STEPHENS was buried at St Georges Church Fordington on 3rd Feb 1837 aged 70 years. Children from this marriage :-

    (1) Jane Ensor (1796-1877) We know for certain that Jane was a child of theirs as she is a beneficary under her fathers Will which he wrote on 28th Oct 1828. Her baptism however is recorded at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 2nd June 1796 but recorded as Jane the daughter of Edward and Mary ENSOR. As far as I can see this is an original error by the Parish Clerk as there is no such family and Jane's conception fits precisely Edward's marriage to Ruth. Jane moved with her family to Fordington circa 1803 and married there at St Georges Church on 17th April 1833 to a Chemist named John DAVIS, a bachelor form the parish of Holy Trinity in Dorchester. Follow link for more information about this family.

    (2) Edward Ensor (1798-1884) bap St Peters Church Dorchester 19 Dec 1798; Beneficiary & joint executor under his fathers Will in 1828 which refers to him as being of Milborne Port in the County of Somerset a glove manufacturer. According to the British History On Line website the Ensor family started production of gloves at Milborne Port in 1820 and it appears that Edward was initially the main driving force behind this although his youngest brother Thomas Ensor seems to have suceeded him by 1841. Edward married Sarah LOADER (1801-1835) at Poynington Somerset by licence 23rd May 1821 and they had 3 children before she died at Milborne Port on 27th Jan 1835. Edward remarried to Ann STANTON on 30th July 1835 at Saint Sidwell's church in Exeter Devon. In 1841 they were living in Lyme Regis and in 1851 Ashby de la Zouch Leicestershire and finally Church Greasley Burton on Trent where Edward died 9th July 1884.

    (3) John Ensor (1800-1870) bap St Peters Church 6th Feb 1800. He married Frances Elizabeth BESANT at Honiton-on-Otter, Devon on 5th Dec 1825. Follow link for more information about this family.

    (4) William Ensor (1802-1804) bap St Peters Church 27th Jan 1802 and buried at St Georges Church Fordington on 18th April 1804

    (5) Eliza Ensor (1804-1827) bap St Georges Church Fordington on 5th Jan 1804 Died aged 23 & buried at St Georges Church 26th Sep 1827 reported in Salisbury & Winchester Journal

    (6) Thomas Ensor (1807-1875) bap St Georges Church Fordington 12th Nov 1807; Beneficiary under his fathers Will in 1828 he became a Wesleyan Methodist and had already moved to live in Milborne Port with his elder brother Edward manufacturing gloves by the time he married Harriet AVERY (1802-1869) the daughter of John & Mary Avery who had been baptised at Barnstaple in Devon on 22nd Oct 1802. They probably married at the Wesleyan Chapel in Milborne Port the year before their first child ie 1828. The British History Online website states "There were three facories in Milborne Port by 1851, by far the largest that of Thomas Ensor in North Street which processed the work of over 2,000 employees from the parish and beyond". In fact the April 1851 Census shows that he was employing 140 men, 70 boys and 1,800 women & girls. By 1861 Thomas is also stated to be a Wesleyan local preacher. They raised a family and 1871 they had moved to West Hill and employed 2,519 people. They raised a large family of children at Milborne Port circa 1829-1846 some of their baptisms can be found in the non-conformist registers on ancestry.com submitted by the Sherborne circuit Wesleyan Chapel. Thomas Ensor died on 10th June 1875 having retired to live in the Parish of St Leonard in Devon
    leaving an estate of just under £25,000.

c1800 MARRIAGE - Location Unknown --Between James BARTLETT and Jane (Surname Unknown) of Dorchester in Dorset.
    [Note:- Tracing James and Jane's Family and background has been particularly difficult. Both their children Elizabeth and Susan later had links to the Wesleyan movement so their parents may also have had non-conformist tendancies as I cannot locate baptisms for 4 of their chidren. I have therefore tried to stick as much as possible to proveable facts in establishing who their children were and these are listed below. Because we do not have consistent records it means that I cannot be sure of the order of birth and later research may add other children. ]
James BARTLETT (1771-1842) was the illegitimate son of Mary BARTLETT and had been baptised at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 1st Sep 1771. James was a butcher by trade and on 28th Jan 1804 he is recorded as having paid the duty due for an Indenture for his apprentice Henry HOPKINS to learn the butcher's trade. His occupation is also given as that of a butcher in the baptism register of his daughter Susanna in 1815. His wife Jane BARTLETT (1775-1823) pre-deceased him being buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 27th Nov 1823 aged 48. James appears in the 1841 Census living at Grove Buildings in West Fordington when his age was given as 60 to 64 (1777-1781) not a very accurate assement as when James died in the Union Workhouse his age was given as being about 70 (i.e.born 1772) much closer to his actual baptism. His body was returned to his parish of birth, and where his last child Susanna was baptised, of All Saints for burial on 22nd May 1842.

Children:- (Not in Birth order)
(1) Elizabeth Bartlett (c.1801*-1865) She married a gardener by trade named William RICKARD (c.1801-1841) at Bradpole in Dorset on 25th Sep 1824 and they had 10 ten children. Follow link for more information about their family. At the time of her marriage (1824) she was living in Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester. Elizabeth and William were Wesleyans and the baptism of their third child Elizabeth Rickard in the Wesleyan Chapel in Weymouth on 1st Feb 1829 was particularly helpful as it states that they were not only living in Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester but that Elizabeth (her mother) was the daughter of James and Jane BARTLETT so we are sure of the association as there are no other James and Jane Bartletts. Estimating her birth year*: I have disregarded the June 1841 Census when Elizabeth's age was given as between 30/34, probably by her husband. This would mean she would have been born between 1807 and 1811 which is highly unlikely as she would have been aged 13 to 17 at marriage when the average age at this date for a woman to marry was 25. It was also the first Census and because of problems with the banding system it was abandoned for all subsequent returns. She completed the 1851 Census as her husband had died in 1841 when she says she was 48 making her born in 1803 a more realistic date. I have chosen however to go with the 1861 Census when she says she is aged 60 making her born circa 1801 as this ties up with Jane's subsequent burial record at St Georges Church in Fordington on 26th Aug 1865 when her age is given as 64.

(2) Ann Bartlett (bur. 1803) All we have is her burial recorded at St Georges Church in Fordington on 12th June 1803 which states "Ann daughter of James and Jane BARTLETT"

(3) Rebecca Bartlett (bur. 1806) All we have is her burial recorded at St Georges Church in Fordington on 6th Nov 1806 which states "Rebecca daughter of James and Jane BARTLETT"

(4) Jane Bartlett (1807-1812) recorded at St Peters Church in Dorchester as having been born on 4th Apr 1807 and baptised there on 17th Dec 1809. She was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 15th Jan 1812 recorded as Jane daughter of James and Jane Bartlett from Dorchester

(5) James Bartlett (1809-1879) recorded at St Peters Church in Dorchester as having been born on 6th Nov 1809 and baptised there on 17th Dec 1809 . James married at All Saints church in Dorchester to Amelia CHANDLER on 7th Aug 1831. Follow link for more information about his family. A Master Tailor by trade he was eventually buried at All Saints church on 4th March 1879.

(6) Edward Bartlett (bur. 1810) All we have is his burial recorded at St Georges Church in Fordington on 7th Feb 1810 as " Edward son of James and Jane Bartlett from Dorchester

(7) Susanna [Susan] Bartlett (1815-1876 ) baptised at All Saints church Dorchester on 18th June 1815 recorded as "Susanna daughter of James & Jane BARTLETT baptised, abode All Saints Dorchester, fathers occupation a butcher. She married as Susan Bartlett to Nicholas RICKARD at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester on 19th July 1836. Nicolas was the younger brother of her brother-in-law William RICKARD (c.1801-1841) .

    Note:- Thomas Gatehouse BESANT (1778-1808) he was baptised at Holy Trinity Church Dorchester 22nd Mar 1778 the son of James Miller Besant (1741-1792) to Sarah Gatehouse at St John the Baptist Church in North Cheriton Somerset in 1777. He inherited £20 under his fathers will in 1791 and the QUEENS ARMS in Holy Trinity Parish when his mother died in 1795. His sister Esther then appears to have moved to live in Weymouth. Thomas must have sold his interest in the Queens Arms and purchased that of the WHITE HART also in Holy Trinity Parish from his sister.

    About the year 1800 he married to an Ann HEWSTINS / MOWLAM (1781-1858) and settled in Dorchester and had four children shown below. Ann HEWSTINS [also HEWSTENS & HUSTENS] was the daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth HUSTINS who had been baptised at All Saints Church in Dorchester on 10th April 1782. She had 3 siblings who along with her father all died by 1785. Her mother Elizabeth remarried to Henry MOWLAM at All Saints church on 5th Nov 1786 so from the age of four Ann adopted the surname of MOWLAM. Her step sister Susannah MOWLAM married her husbands youngest brother John James BEASANT. Thomas Gatehouse Besant was buried at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 4th Mar 1808. Ann Besant was living with her son Thomas in 1851 in High East Street and states she was born in Dorchester. She died on 3rd July 1858 leaving an estate of just under £1,000 and was buried at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 7th July 1858 aged 77 years.

He was elected Alderman of Dorchester on 3rd Oct 1814 to replace Charles White who had died the year before and was also elected Mayor of Dorchester on the same day (Salisbury & Winchester Journal Mon 10th Oct 1824).

04 July 1809 Richard HAYMAN married Mary SMITH 4th July 1809 at Bridport.

[Note:- Richard Hayman [Haymen] (1774-1824) was the son of John Hayman (1744-1788) a native of Kilmington in Devon and Mary Thomas (1750-1790) and had been baptised at Beaminster in Dorset on 28th Aug 1744. Although Richard in 1824 his youngest son George Hayman's marriage certificate to Sarah Thorne in 1845 states that he was a coachman by trade .

Mary SMITH (1790-1865) was the daughter of William & Rebekah Smith and baptised at Bridport on 14th Apr 1790. She was buried at Melcombe Regis on 5th Jan 1865 when her age was given as being 74

After marriage at St Mary's church in Bridport Richard & Mary had two children there before moving to live in All Saints Parish in Dorchester in 1810. Richard Hayman died intestate at the young age of 33 on the 25th March 1824 and was buried at All Saints Church in Dorchester the following day. His widow Mary was granted a Letter of Administration for his estate on 8th May 1824 which has a side line statement from the Dorchester Bank stating that they had funds of £23-7-2d but under name of a Richard HERMAN - which Mary does not appear to have received. With 8 surviving children Mary was destitute and applied to the Overseers of the poor of Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester for support. I assume that despite having all their children baptised at All Saints they were actually living in Holy Trinity Parish. On 19th May the Overseers stopped her pay and on 23rd June 1824 took the curious decision to order her removal to the Parish of Wimple in Devon. This would have been because of the complicated laws of Settlement and was presumably thought to be the last place of settlement for John Hayman (1744-1788).

John Haymen however had died at Beaminster in Dorset at the age of 44 and was buried there on 12th May 1788. His widow Mary nee Thomas was examined by the Overseers of Beaminster and this examination survives & is available to view on ancestry.com. With Mary is her children named as Sarah aged 12; John aged 11 Betty aged 7; Richard aged 5. As a result a removal order was issued for them to be removed to Kilmington in evon. on 2nd Nov 1789. This order howver does not appear to have been carried out, possibly because Mary was ill. She died registered as a pauper and interred at Beaminster 11th Dec 1790. Yet a further order of removal was issued on 30th Dec 1790 in respect of Sarah now aged 13; John aged 12; Betty aged 8 and Richard aged 6.

Given this complicated background and the fact that Richard & Mary had lived in Dorchester from 1810 to his death in 1824 it is not suprising to find that the parish of Wimple appealed the removal order for Mary nee Smith & her 8 children and this was quashed at the Quarter Sessions - HT was also ordered to pay Wimple costs. Mary in 1841 is working as a laundress and living in Pease Lane Holy Trinity Parish. With her are her son William [aged 25-29] now helping to supporting the family and working as a coachman as his father had before him.Also George [aged 15 to 19 presumably unemployed as no occupation given, and an illegitimate grandaughter the daughter of Louisa who is aged 3 and called Lavinia.]

Samuel Wallis curate in the presence of Elizabeth OAKLEY and Robert INGRAM

[Note:- Revd. Francis OAKLEY Junior (1790-1843) was the 2nd child from the marriage of Francis OAKLEY Senior to Mary COOMBS at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 18 Jun 1786. He matriculated at Magdalen Hall Oxford on 7th Feb 1818 when his age was given as being 30. There are no details of his academic qualifications only that he died on 6th Oct 1843 as Vicar of Bradpole. He joined the church being ordained a deacon by the Bishop of Salisbury John Fisher on 9th Oct 1819. His ordination as a priest whilst still at University as by John Kaye the Bishop of Bristol on 16th Dec 1821. He was appointed as perpetual curate of Chaldon Herring in Dorset on 14th Jan 1822 a position he seems to have retained until at least 1830. He was instituted on 17th March 1835 as Vicar of Bradpole on the death of the existing vicar Revd Samuel Wallis. Francis died there aged 56 being buried at Holy Trinity Church Bradpole on 10th Oct 1843 leaving a Will in which he left everything in trust for his widow Mary. As his family was based in Dorchester he often stood in for local Clergy who for one reason or another had to be absent so his name appears on many birth marriage and death registrations in the town.]

    [Note:- Joseph AMOR (1787 - ) had been baptised on 9th Aug 1787 at Chardstock as the 2nd of six children from the marriage of John AMOR to Mary SUMMERS (1761-1839) who had married at Chardstock in Dorset on 3rd April 1781. His mother Mary had been baptised at Chardstock on Christmas day 1761 the daughter of Samuel & Joan SUMMERS. Joseph had an older brother Richard Amor bap at Chardstock 11th Nov 1781 and a younger sister Mary AMOR baptised there on 23rd Aug 1789 before the family moved to live in Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester where 3 more children wer born (Follow link for more information about his parents and siblings. .

    Sarah was the daughter of John HIRON [IRON] of Winterborne Steepleton who married her mother Mary LANGTHORNE of Winterborne Whitchurch at Whitchurch Canonicorum on 26th Oct 1780. Their first known child Rebecca Hiron was baptised at Winterborne Steepleton on 9th Jan 1785 but by 1790 they were liviung in Frampton where Robert and the above Sarah IRON were baptised together on 23rd Mat 1790.

    John and Sarah went on to have 10 children as listed below and from baptism and burial registers we know this family were living in Pease Lane Dorchester from 1829 to at least 1833. Joseph and Sarah appear to still be there in the June 1841 Census and at her burial in 1843. although Joseph's name appears to have been incorrectly entered as John Amor. By 1841 I think Joseph and Sarah were both in trouble as none of their 10 children are with them. Their daughter Sarah Amor (1817-1854) however had married a stone mason Thomas Hounsell (1818-1897) at St Peters Church in Dorchester on 4th June 1838 and they are in the 1841 census living in Shirehall Lane with a 2 year old son and twin daughters who are only 7 months old. Sarah however has also taken on her 3 youngest siblings being William aged 11, Edwin aged 9 and Charlotte aged 7. All we then know is that Joseph's wife Sarah AMOR nee HIRON (1790- 1843) died in the lunatic asylum and was buried at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester on 12th Nov 1843 aged 53 years. I have not so far located what happened to Joseph.

01 Oct 1816 MARRIAGE:- In the Parish Church at Bridport Dorset Entry No. 138: Between Richard AMOR of this Parish a Bachelor and Hannah CASE of this Parish a Widow were married in this church by Banns this first day of October 1816 by me Rev. David Willims Rector Both their Signatures [His Richd AMOR] in the presence of Sauel Cornish Mary Randall and John Curme

    Richard AMOR (1781-1857) the son of John Amor and Mary Summers and was baptised on 11th Nov 1781 at Saint Andrews Church in Chardstock which at that time was in Dorset (It was not transferred to Devon until 1896). His bride Hannah [Anna] CASE [nee RENDELL] (1793-1858) had been born on the 29th January 1796 into a family of non-conformits and was baptised as Mary the daughter of Joseph and Mary RENDELL at the Barrack Street Meeting House in Bridport on 26th October 1799. Her first marriage had been to Job CASE a widower of Sherborne at Bridport by Licence on 7th March 1814. Job had previously married Elizabeth SPENCER at Litton Cheney (which lies just odver 6 miles from Bridport) on 22nd Jan 1810 but Elizabeth was buried at Litton Cheney on 11th Nov 1813 aged 33 whilst they were living at the Sherborne Turnpike Gate .

    Richard & Hannah initially settled to live in her parish of Bridport where Richard worked as a Cooper and attended the Non-Conformist Meeting house in Barrack Street. Their first child Ann was born and baptised there as shown below in 1817. I have not located a baptism for Charles (circa 1818) but their next son Joseph Rendell Amor was also baptised at Barrack St in 1821. By 1823 however they had moved to live in Dorchester and had their next son Alfred Amor baptised at the Independent Presbyterian Chapel in Pease Lane. By 1828 they had moved again to live in Fordington with their son Frederick being buried St Georges Church in Sep that year.

    I think they must have asked for parochial support at this point as a Removal Order was issued to return them to Chardstock in Dorset which is where Richard was born. Removal Orders were issued, not only for Richard, Hannah his wife, Joseph aged 16; Alfred aged 14; Frederick aged 8 and Emily aged 6 on the 27th Oct 1838, but another against their son Charles Amor and his wife Charlotte on 14th Nov 1838. In the June 1841 Census however Richard and Hannah are back living in Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester at South Back Street with their children Joseph age 18 and Frederick aged 7. Ricahrd AMOR was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 13th Feb 1857 when aged 77 years and Hannah joined him on 12th March 1858 aged 66. Children:-

    (1) Ann Edwards Amor (1817- ) the daughter of Richard Amor & Hannah his wife was born April 8th and baptised at the Barrack St Meeting House in Bridport on Oct 29th 1817. The Baptism entry actualy states that the Father is a Cooper & lives in Bridport.

MARRIAGE Between John WRIGHT and Elizabeth alias Ellen (Surname unknown) - After marriage lived in Dorchester All Saints Parish 1821 - 1830's and then Fordington until 1861.

Note:- John WRIGHT Junior (1785-1861), according to the 1851 and 1861 Census returns for Fordington, was born in the Parish of Nether Exe in Devon. A small parish situated 5 miles north by east of Exeter and bounded on the west by the river Exe. The church is often referred to as St John the Baptist, but the 'British History Listed Buildings' website states that it's dedication is unknown. John Wright, who I have labled 'Junior' for the sake of clarity, was the eldest of 8 children of John Wright Senior by his wife Mary nee Darby who had married on 24th Jan 1785 in her parish of Bickleigh in Devon (just 5 miles north on the river Exe) [FHL Film Number:916811].

John Wright Senior and Mary's 8 children are listed below. I have not attempted further research on his siblings myself but there is much speculation on line that John's father and younger brother Gideon Darby Wright went to Canada and that he is the Gideon Wright who marries in Quebec Canada in 1818 to Marguerite Craig, settles there to live, and appears to name their son 'Gideon Darby Wright' in Drummonville Quebec on 3rd Oct 1847.

    (1) John WRIGHT Junior (1785- 1861) bap Nether Exe 26 Dec 1785 who married Ellen circa 1820 and is the subject of this account.
    (2) Gideon Darby Wright bap Nether Exe 9th Oct 1788, who may have emigrated to Canada?
    (3) William Wright bap Stoke Canon, Devon (under 2 miles south of Nether Exe) 29 Dec 1790
    (4) ThomasWright bap Nether Exe 16th June 1793.
    (5) Henry Wright bap Nether Exe 24 April 1800,
    (6) James Wright (1802-1866) bap Nether Exe 27th July 1802. A farm labourer he married Mary the daughter of Thomas Rewe a nursery labourer in her parish church at Broadclyst in Devon on 9th Apr 1842 and raised a family in Broadclyst and later Kenton where he died 3rd Oct 1866. Mary Wright his widow also died at Kenton aged 53 on 30th Sep 1872.
    (7) Sarah bap Nether Exe 17th Feb 1805.
    (8) Mary Wright bap Nether Exe 31st Dec 1809

As shown here I have not so far been able to locate John WRIGHT Junior's marriage and information about his bride so far is confined to 6 offical records. After marriage they settled in All Saints Parish Dorchester where they raised a family between 1821 and 1830 as detailed below. We have baptisms between 1821 and 1830 for 3 of their 4 children which all record her name as 'Elizabeth'. Two later Census returns (which confirm it is the same family) and her burial however all record her name as 'Ellen' . They also name a daughter Ellen but annoyingly we cannot trace her baptism which according to the 1841 Census occurred between 1823 and 1826, or anything else about her.

By June 1841 they had moved to live at South Back Street and although John's occupation is given as that of a labourer I think this is misleading as they already have some status and are a cut above the general labouring class. They are living with Mary Morton who, like his wife Ellen and their daughter also named Ellen aged 15 -19 are all regarded as being of independant means. Their eldest son Gideon has also already qualified as a journeyman shoemaker.

Their lives however undoubtedly took a marked change for the better when John and Ellen secured employment in 1851 as house servants working for George Evans Moule and his younger brother Frederick John Moule. They were both sons of Rev. Henry Moule vicar of St Georges Church in Fordington. George had just completed his education at Cambridge and been ordained a priest and returned home to serve as curate of St Georges Church (1851-1855) and help tutor his father's students. His brother Frederick had matriculated at Caius College in Cambridge on 26 June 1850 and came home regulary between university terms. As can be seem from the 1851 Census their father had used their rooms at the vicarage to board 6 students that he was preparing for univerisity so they had to rent a house to live in on Cuckold's Row (within their father's parish of Fordington). The whole family were Victorian pioneers of John White's vision of a godly community, and would have assisted any employees to better themselves and their family. George Evans Moule later became one of the first missionaries to China and he and his brother Arthur Evans Moule did much to introduce Christianity there.

John's wife Elizabeth alias Ellen WRIGHT (1793-1861) died aged 68 in Holloway (previously called Cuckold's Row) being buried at St Georges church in Fordington on 23rd January 1861 by Frederick John Moule. Three months later in the April 1861 Census John Wright is now recorded as a widower, and deceptively his occupation given as that of a gardener. In fact I think he was supplying their grocery business now being run by his unmarried daughter Sarah. John WRIGHT (1785-1861) was also buried at St Georges Church aged 78 on 29th October 1861 by the Rev Henry Moule. Their known children:-

    (1) Gideon (Darby) WRIGHT (1821-1900 ) He was baptised at All Saints Church in Dorchester as Gideon WRIGHT on 8th June 1821 and also married under that name to Elizabeth SHEW at Durngate Chapel on 28th Dec 1841 and is referred to as such in his probate record in 1900. At various other times in his life however he also went by the name of Gideon Darby WRIGHT (See 1871 and 1891 Census returns, his death certificate and burial record). Darby was of course his great grandmothers maiden name. Follow initial link for the story of his life written by his great great grandson, Robert Douglas John Wright.

    (2) Ellen WRIGHT (c1822-1826 - aft June 1841) Not located a baptism, aged 15 to 19 in 1841 Census born in Dorset with John, Ellen and Gideon. No other trace.

    (3) George WRIGHT (bap 1828) Baptised All Saints Church Dorchester 30th Nov 1828. No other trace and not with the family in 1841 when he would have been only 13.

    (4) Sarah WRIGHT (1830-aft 1901) Baptised at All Saints Church 22nd Aug 1830. In the June 1841 Census she is aged between 10 and 14 (actually 11) working as a servant in Millers Close in Fordington to Elizabeth SHAW who later that year became her brother Gideon's wife. In 1851 aged 20 she is living with her parents. Sarah, recorded as the daughter of John Wright a gardener, married 9 months after her fathers death to Thomas SHEPARD [SHEPHERD] (1838-1898) at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester on 13th July 1862. Thomas Shepherd a native of Buckhorn Weston in Dorset was a coach maker by trade and in April 1861 was a boarder in Fordington staying with Brownlow Westbrook who is described as being a Journeyman Coachmaker primitive methodist and local preacher. Aged 23 he almost certainly was completing an apprenticeship and able to strike out on his own. After marriage they moved to live in Kensington London where a son Frederick Thomas Shepherd was born in 1868. By 1871 they are in Paddington with Thomas working as a railway carriage maker and Sarah is described as a china and glass dealer. Here a daughter Helena (known as Nelly) is born. By 1881 they had moved to live in Croydon Surrey, Thomas still a carriage maker and Sarah has taken in a couple of boarders. Still at Drayton in 1891 their son Frederick has become a bookseller and stationer and Helena a music teacher. Thomas died at Croydon during 2nd qtr 1898 (GRO 2a/129) and Sarah moved in with her son in Norwood Lambeth where she is aged 69 in the 1901 Census.

25 Sep 1824 MARRIAGE BANNS: Entry No.6 - Banns of Marriage between William RICKARD residing in this parish bachelor, and Elizabeth BARTLETT residing in the parish of Trinity Dorchester spinster were read on 3 Sundays 5th; 12th and 19th Sept 1824.

MARRIAGE: No. 61. In the Parish Church at Bradpole Dorset between William RICKARD of this parish, bachelor and Elizabeth BARTLETT of the parish of Holy Trinity in Dorchester, a spinster were married by Banns 25th September 1824 by me Rev T.R.Cole Officiating Minister both their signatures witnesses James Bartlett his mark (Note:- her father) John Nicholls.
    [Note:- William RICKARD (1785-1841) was the second of eleven children of Thomas RICKARD (1758-1848) by his wife Elizabeth nee HICKS (1761-1852) who had married at Withiel in Cornwall on 16th Oct 1782.William RICKARD was baptised at Withiel on 27th Feb 1785. His younger brother Nicholas was Thomas & Elizabeth's 8th child and baptised at Withiel on 25th Nov 1799. Both brothers migrated to live in Dorset William marrying Elizabeth here at Bradpole in 1824 and settling in Dorchester to raise their family as indicated below. His brother .Nicholas Rickard went on to marry Elizabeth Bartlett's younger sister Susan Bartlett, Follow link for more information about Nicholas & Susan's family.

    Elizabeth BARTLETT (c.1801-1865) was probably the eldest child of James and Jane BARTLET . Follow link provided for more information about her family.

    William and Elizabeth had their children all baptised in the Wesleyan Chapel in Weymouth until Dorchester was granted a circuit of it's own in 1831 from which time they were all baptised in the Wesleyan Chapel in North Square and after 1840 in the new Chapel in Durngate Street. Unfortunately we only have baptisms up to July 1837 so are denied details for their last 3 children. From the baptisms we know that his wife Elizabeth BARTLETT (c.1801-1865) was the daughter of James and Jane BARTLET Also that William and Elizabeth were living in Holy Trinity Parish in Miller's Passage off the High Street until at least January 1830 when their daughter Elizabeth was buried at Holy Trinity Church. From there they moved to Fordington to live and when Thomas their 4th child was baptised in Weymouth on 28th Feb 1830 William was said to be of Hamilton Row in Fordington .

    They were still in Fordington in 1837 but by the time of the June 1841 Census they were all back in All Saints Parish in Dorchester in High East street. This Census is confusing as it gives Williams age as being in the 50 age band [i.e. aged 50 to 54] and Elizabeth's as 30 [aged 30 to 34]. William RICKARD died soon after the Census and he was buried in St Georges Church in Fordington but described as being from All Saints Parish but aged 40. This seems more likely to be correct to me so I have assumed for now that he was born about 1801. By 1851 Elizabeth, now a widow aged 48 (1803), was residing at 2 Salisbury Villas in Fordington working for Terrance Francis Nicholls and his wife Susan as a servant and nurse looking after their large family. Elizabeth was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 26th Aug 1865 aged 64 (1801). Children from this marriage:-

    [Note:- After marriage they returned to his parish of Holy Trinity in Dorchester where their 1st child Sarah Jane was born in 1840. At that time James was working as a Footman and the family was already living in Pease Lane also. By June 1841 Jane and their 1st child Sarah Jane, now aged 1, were still living at Pease Lane but Robert SPICER Senior is absent. Their next two children are born at Louth in Leicestershire so it seems that he had already left, and Jane joined him some time later. Robert SPICER Senior however is buried at Holy Trinity Church on 5th March 1851. The 1851 Census was taken on the night of the 30th March and this confirms that Jane, now a widow, is described as a native of Piddletrenthide and employed as needlewoman, and is living with her three children back at Pease Lane. Jane and Robert are living in Lester Court in 1861 but this is still part of Pease Lane.By 1871 Jane and Robert have moved to the other side of the High Street and are resident at Charles Street with Robert still single working as a porter for a wine merchant. By 1881 Jane is aged 75 on her own living in lodgings in Shire Hall Lane. Jane died at the age of 78 and was buried at Dorchester Civic Cemetery on 6th Jan 1887 described as the widow of James Spicer a Butler.

Obituary Dorset Count Chronicle - Thursday 5th March 1840 :

On Friday morning last the mortal remains of the late deeply lamented C.B.WOLLASTON Esq., whose death we noticed last week, were deposited in the vault of the Frampton family at Moreton, where he interred the remains of his mother. The funeral procession left the house in this town about nine o'clock and never was there observed a more general manifestation of deep and sincere morning and that enduring esteem which lives beyond the grave. Until the procession had passed out of the town the shops were closed and business was suspended, whilst the tolling of the bells added to the solemnity of the occasion. The hearse containing the body was followed by two mornung coaches, and by thirteen carriages comprising those of the leading gentry of the neighbourhood. The late Mr WOLLASTON was son of the late Charlton WOLLASTON M.D., by Phillis, sole daughter and heir of Samuel BYAM, of the Island of Antigua, Esq., who after the death of Dr. Wollaston married the late James FRAMPTON Esq., of Moreton, the issue of which marriage was the present James FRAMPTON Esq., of Moreton and Mrs Mary Frampton to whom consequently Mr. Wollaston was uterine brother. (article goes on to include a letter commenting on his loss which I have not transcribed )


Charlton Byam WOLLASTON (1765-1840) was born on 16th Feb 1765 the 2nd and last child of Charlton WOLLASTON (1733-1764) MD FRS, physician to the Queen's household, and Phillis BYAM (1736-1829) daughter and heir of Samual BYAN of the island of Antigua.

He was admitted at Limcoln's Inn 20 Mar 1786 and called to the bar 19th Nov 1791 being admitted to the Inner Temple 20th Nov 1799.

His father having died shortly before he was born in 1764, within a couple of years his mother Phillis removed to Moreton in Dorset with her children. and c1768 remarried to James FRAMPTON (1711-1784) and had two more children by him = James FRAMPTON Junior (1769-1855) bap Moreton 4 Sep 1769 and Mary FRAMPTON (1773-1846) who according to the Moreton parish register was born 21st June 1773 at Dean St within the parish of St Ann's Soho and privately baptised the following day, but returned to Moreton being received into the church on 15th Aug 1773. Charlton's sister Phillis Byam Wollaston then married Evelyn SHIRLEY Esq of Tincleton in Moreton on 3rd July 1781.

Charlton Byam WOLLASTON Barrister at Law was appointed chairman of the quarter sessions for Dorset & Recorder for the Borough of Dorchester on the resignation of Nathaniel Bond Esq on 29th Dec 1806, and Magistrate for Dorset in Jan 1819.

In his Will, his sister Phillis having died in 1836, Charlton Byam WOLLASTON left his estate in 1840 to his half brother James Frampton with additional provision from his investments in Govt stock for the inerest to be paid to his spinster sister Mary Frampton.

Wiltshire Independent Newspaper - June 1, at Salisbury, Mr Joseph LOCK of Dorchester, to Elizaberth Marvin, daughter of the late Mr WILLS of Castle Street.

Joseph LOCK (1811-1877) was 7th child from the marriage of William LOCK to Ann BASCOMBE in St Peters church Dorchester on 1st May 1800. Elizabeth Marvin WILLS (1818-1911) was the daughter of a schoolmaster William WILLS (1775-1839) by his wife Harriet Burrows (1781-1851) and had been born in Castle Street in Salisbury on 17th Nov 1818, and baptised at St Edmunds Church there on February 8th 1819. After marriage Joseph brought Elizabeth to live in his family house in North Square. His father retired to live in Fordington leaving Joseph to run the butchers shop in North Square. They had six children born in Dorchester as shown below. Elizabeth's father being a schoolmaster she was anxious for her sons to have a descent education at least John Bascombe Lock attended William Barnes (1801-1886) well respected school in South Street from about the age of 8. Joseph LOCK was initiated as a Freemason of Dorchester on 7th Aug 1835. By 1871 Joseph Lock was quite successful and had also become a Farmer of 55 acres.

16 Apr 1860 1860 MARRIAGE: solemnized in the parish church of St Lukes Chelsea in the County of Middlesex: Entry 197 April 16 James PEARCE of full age a bachelor occupation Gentleman resident at St Lukes Chelsea fathers name [blank] married Deidamia BUTT of full age a spinster of no occupation resident at St Lukes Chelsea father George BUTT a farmer both signed their names witnesses Samuel Taylor and Fanny Summers

    [Note:- James PEARCE (1808-1898) In each Census return 1851-1891 states that he was born in Dorchester, but he was not baptised here. As shown above when he married his father's name was left blank . An article in the Bridport News on 9th Sep 1887 refers to the laying of a white marble step in the chancel of St Peters church in Dorchester which was a gift from James PEARCE one of the oldest parishioners who has been a constant parishioner of St Peters for 60 years; so his attendance there started circa 1828 when he would have been about 20 years old. He appears in the earliest June 1841 Census living in South Walk in St Peters Parish in Dorchester aged 25 to 29 (i.e. born between 1812-1816) and registered as a male servant working for a local builder - John Baines. In the same household is a female servant named Deidameia Butt whom he is marrying here some 19 years later. By the 1851 Census James has moved within the Parish living as a servant in West Back Street working as a butler for a widow Rebecca STEWARD. He then gave his age as (i.e. bornc1811). In the same household is another female servant (the housekeeper) named Mary BUTT, who was actually Deidamia's sister. Rebecca Stweard died in 1859 leaving an estate of £7,000. I have not seen the Will which was resworn in 1863 to £9,000, so they may have been beneficiaries. Clearly James remained in close contact with the BUTT Family over a long period of time.

    Deidamia BUTT (1803-1878) was baptised on the 18th April 1803 in the parish of Fontmel Magna where her parents, George BUTT of Motcombe and Martha Lawrence of Fontmell had earlier married by license on 11th Feb 1798. She was the 3rd of their nine children, her sister Mary being their 8th child. All her siblings were baptised at Motcombe.

    After their marriage they lived for many years at 25 South Street in Dorchester. In trying to estimate his year of birth:- in the 1861 Census his age is given as 50 (b.c1811) but in 1871 62 (b.c1809), 1881 73 (b.c1808) and after his move to High West Street in 1891 83 (b.c1808). As this agrees with his age at death I have gone for 1808 but without more information is needed to stand a chance of locating his ancestry. James PEARCE was already being referred to as a "Fundholder in 1861 and "Annuitant" in 1871. Deidamiah PEARCE died at the age of 74 and was buried at the civic cemetery on 28th March 1878. James was still at 25 South Street in 1881 but had retired and by 1891 was resident at 21 High West Street.

By 1881 although still working as an auctioneer he has moved again having bought a farm at Corfe Mullen in Dorset of 240 acres.

    Note:- Henry LING (1836-1911) was born on 30th Dec 1836 at Lowestoft in Suffolk the son of a cordwainer Job LING by his wife Kezia BRACEY and baptised at St Margarets Church in Lowestoft on 26th January 1837. He does not appear to have followed his fathers trade, possibly because he was the youngest son, but branched out on his own. He came to Dorchester as a young man, probably as apprentice to Thomas PATCH (1800-1867) a bookseller who ran his business at that time at 58 High West Street. Thomas Patch was a professor of music and although born in Wells in Somerset soon established himself in Dorchester as a teacher of music. He appears in Pigots street directory for 1830 operating in High East Street but was clearly an entrepreneur as Robert's Street Directory in 1839 shows he has moved to High West Street and describes him as "County Printer, Bookseller Stationer, Circulating Library and Reading Rooms, Music master, and Agent to Imperial Fire and Life Insurance Company " . Thomas ran his business for many years with his wife Olivia but she died in the 4th qtr 1858 and it is about this time that Henry Ling first appears in Dorchester (when he would have been aged 22). By the time of the 1861 Census Henry is well established as the 'Booksellers Manager' and ran the business with the help of 4 boys. Thomas Patch died at the age of 66 and was buried at the civic cemetery in Dorchester on 11th March 1867. His estate of just under £3,000 was administered by his son Revd Hubert Mornington Patch

    Henry LING married Emma RUSSELL at the parish church in Bridport Dorset on 16th Oct 1862 and they had seven children as shown below. He, like many other businessmen, joined the Freemasons in 1865 and was still a member in 1909. By 1871 Henry was employing 3 men, 5 boys and a young lady in his growing business. The Post Office directory for 1875 describes him as a printer, bookseller, stationer & fancy repository and by 1881 he had moved to 23 High East Street where the administrative offices of his business still remain today (2016). Henry Ling died in Dorchester at the age of 74 in 3rd qtr 1911.

MARRIAGE - CIVIL: Soldier 581 Royal Horse Artillery C Brigade David MORRIS, a bachelor married
Sarah BURT a spinster at the Registry Office in Dorchester Dorset
15th July 1877
Witnesses The mark of Aziriah Payne and Mary Wansfor by John Petty ALDRIDGE [who was the Registrar for marriages in Dorchester]

David MORRIS (1844-1906) was a native of Lewisham In Kent and the son of William Morris a bricklayer by his wife Sarah. David worked locally as a labourer until he enlisted in the Royal Horse Artillery as Soldier 1609. He was later posted as a deserter from Woolwich Arsenal on 5th Dec 1871 (published 20th Dec) but he appears to have re-enlisted as his marriage above is in the Army Marriage Register as Soldier 581 a driver of the RHA.

Sarah BURT (1857- ) was the daughter of an agricultural labourer Robert BURT by his wife Ann nee CHAPMAN who had married in Fordington in 1848. Sarah was born in Cuckolds Row and baptised at FStG on 08 Jan 1857 by it's famous vicar the Rev Henry Moule. After marriage in 1877 however David does not appear to have been in the Army as they had a daughter (1) Rosy Morris baptised at St George Church in Fordington on 29 May 1879 when they gave their address as School St Fordington and his occupation of a builder's labourer. Rosy only lived for 5 weeks and was buried there 18 Jun 1879. The 1881 Census shows them living in Fordington at Cuckolds Row, David working as a Gentleman's Labourer? and Sarah as a laundress, understandably with no children. They had another child born there (2) Annie Morris bap at FStG on 22nd Apr 1881 when David was working as a Mason's labourer but she only lived for 2 weeks being buried on 3rd May 1881. Next came (3) Kate Morris bap FStG 25th July 1883 (4) Alice Morris bap FStG 21 Apr 1886 buried 23 Apr 1886 (5) Frederick David Morris bap FStG 9 Dec 1889 and buried there 14th Dec 1889. Their surviving daughter Kate is with the family at Cuckolds Row in 1891. Sometime before the 1901 Census they moved to live in Pound Lane in All Saints Parish while their daughter Kate was a boarder at the nearby Union Arms working as a laundress. In the 4th qtr 1902 Kate married Edward CHESTER. David was buried at FStG 26 Dec 1906.

William HAILS (1856-1925) a blacksmith by trade, was a native of North Shields Northumberland and baptised on 9th March 1856 at St Anne's church in Newcastle upon Tyne the son of William & Margaret Jane HAILS. At the age of 18 on 30th May 1872 he joined the Royal Horse Artillery (Regt No. 2100) and came to be based at the cavalry barracks in West Fordington with G Battery C Brigade RHA where he was employed as a shoeing smith. He was transferred to the Army Reserve (WO 121) on 10th May 1887.

MARRIAGE CIVIL (See above images) - Recorded in the Register of Marriages for G Battery C Brigade of the Royal Horse Artillery :- Soldier Shoeing Smith William HAILS a bachelor married Jemima BOWRING a spinster at Dorchester Dorset 3rd September 1879, both signed, witnesses F Bushly and Maria Godding, performed by Arthur H Lock Vicar? [Note:- Arthur Henry LOCK was superintendent Registrar for Marriages in Dorchester and lived at 53 High West Street, he was also a Solicitor but not a vicar. Hence actually a Civil marriage at the Registry Office.]

Jemima is recorded as the daughter of Henry James BOWRING and Mary Ann nee LEGG in the 1861 Census. Follow link for more background. Jemima HAILS (1855-1889) died at the age of 33 and was buried at the Civic Cemetery in Dorchester on 13th May 1889 described as the wife of William HAILS a Bill Poster.

The 1881 Census shows that William HAILS was then living at No.18 St Ann's Terrace in Marylebone, still employed with the RHA as a shoeing smith aged 28 born at St Anns Northumberland. With him is his wife Jemima who gave her aged as 22, a dressmaker born at Dorchester in Dorset. Also with them is their son William Henry recorded as Henry Hails aged 2 also born at Dorchester (See below).William HAILS remarried to Frances Ellen WYATT at Dorchester in May 1890 - follow link for more information.

    (1) BIRTH - Registered at the GRO during 4th qtr 1878, Dorchester District, Ref 5a/348 as William Henry J BOWRING (1878-1885/6?). He was duly baptised at Christchurch as William Henry James BOWRING the illegitimate son of Jemima Miller BOWRING on 26th Nov 1878

    His army records however (which were completed after his marriage in 1879) show the birth of their son as being William Henry HAILS at Dorchester on 16th October 1878 (i.e. his actual birth date) and that he had later been re-baptised on 16th Jan 1881 by Rev George Poole {Note:- Rev George POOLE was a Catholic Priest of Our Lady of the Martyrs and living in Princess Street Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester in 1881] I think this was done as the Army was always careful about wives and children of soldiers who came onto the official marriage register as this entitled him to take them with him to London when the Regt relocated and the 1881 Census taken on 3rd April shows them all living in Marylebone. William Henry recorded simply as Henry Hails was living with his parents then aged 2 in Marylebone London but is not with them in the following Census when the family is back living in Dorchester. I think this is because he died and was buried as William Henry Hails at Camden cemetery on either 30th Dec 1885 or 23rd Feb 1886.

    (2) They also had a son Charles Joseph HALES [HAILS] (1884-1886) bap at Christchurch West Fordington on 3rd Feb 1884. whilst they were living at Grove Buildings in West Fordington. He was buried at the Civic Cemetery Weymouth Ave 8th Dec 1886 aged 3 years.

    George Felix EALES [EYLES](1855-1901) appears to have been baptised as George Eyles the son of George Thomas Eyles (1830-1905) and Lydia nee Bond (1824-1899) at Moulton in Northamptonshire. The registration of his birth at the GRO however does not appear to be until the 3rd qtr of 1856 by which time he is recorded as George Felix Eyles.

On the 25th Dec 1876 George Felix Eyles, now aged 21 and still living with his parents, married Elizabeth Ann ABRAM his first wife. Unfortunately she left him and subsequently had a child with a James Jones which resulted in their divorce. he petitioned for divorce on 20th Jan 1880 and his final decree abosulte was granted on 23rd Nov 1880.

    This decree enabled George Felix Eales to remarry as a bachelor as shown above to Mary Ann SEYMOUR (1851-1905). The daughter of Samuel & Elizabeth SEYMOUR she was baptised at West Stafford in Dorset on 20th April 1851. By 1871 aged 20 Mary Ann was working as a house servant to a farmer Henry DUKE and his family at Lower Woodsford Farm. By the April 1881 Census Mary Ann had managed to become a cook to a Gentleman Purcell Weston living at Shirehall in Dorchester which is within Holy Trinity Parish.
