Dorset memories
Evacuee
I have happy memories of Corscombe. Having been evacuated from Southampton at the age of eight years. I do remember attending the small school a short distance from where I lived in a small house that had been converted into two living quarters
I have not been back to Corscombe since those wartime days.
Family Visits
I have many memories of visiting my Grandparents, George and Liza Ireland, who lived on the end of Major's Terrace, (I think it was called then) next door to the Crown and Anchor (now the Pottery). A particular fond memory is of my Granparents' Golden Wedding Anniversary, held at the Crown and Anchor, where all eleven surviving children (they had fifteen) gathered to celebrate. Most of the family could play the melodeon; some played piano accordian and concertina. Whenever we had a family get-together, there was enough talent within the family to create our own entertainment. All the children were educated at Mosterton School and my mother spoke with much affection of her teacher, Mrs. Stuckey (if my memory serves me correctly). Mosterton was a very quiet village then with no cars racing through, as now. So safe was it in those days, that even as a small child, I was allowed to walk to the shop, by the bridge to buy sweet from Miss Wilmot,... Read more
Furze Lane, Beaminster
My folks live in Beaminster, and I also did in the early 1980s, and remember Furze Lane. The lane goes up from the Bridport Road across country to the Posy Tree at Mapperton. Although it has changed now, i.e. widened, as it is now suitable for vehicles, I think that the building on the left could be the farm buildings at the bottom of the lane.
Hann Family
I don't have a memory as such, but a lot of my family were born and bred in Beaminster, which I had a very brief visit to in 2009, I found it a very nice little village and would loved to have been able to stay longer and trace some of my family haunts and maybe been able to have come across people who would have been related to folk of that era, maybe they could have told me something of past times there and maybe my family. I now live in Western Australia, so will possibly not get back there again.
1871 Census
My Gt Gt Grandfather and his family were living here, and he was shown as the innkeeper on 1871 Census. My Gt Grandmother Agnes Freeman was born here in 1868, but the family returned to Wimbledon after the death of my Gt Gt Grandfather in 1873 at the age of 37.
Robert Elwell
I am looking for information on Robert Elwell or family in Stoke Abbott around 1610.
Robert Elwell sailed on the ship Recovery in March 1633 to the Massachusetts Bay in America.
Historic Families
I am searching for my ancestors from Netherbury the family names are Toogood, Tolley, Spraklen, Meech, Clarke, Hoskens, Maish, Cox. These are names going back to the early 1700.
Netherbury has held my interest since I was a child and at last I am going to be able to see it for myself armed with the names of my ancestors.
It would be so very good to know if anyone living in Netherbury is able to help with my search.
