Hello, I'm currently working on my family tree and have a Bishop connection with Loders. Will post more details later. Would love to here from others who may be linked. Amanda Sale
My husband's Gt Gt Grandmother, Thirzah Bishop was born in Loders in 1839. Her father was John Tidsby Bishop (1806-1861), and her mother was Charlotte Green (1805-1884). The family emigrated to NZ in the mid 1800s. In 2006, whilst visiting England from New Zealand, my husband, daughter and I visted Uploders, not being aware of the Loders connection at that time.

Wondering if anyone knows of Hayward family, buried in the churchyard surrounds, that farmed in the Loders area back to at least 1750 or further back.  Any info for family tree welcome.
John (1813) moved to Berkshire.  Thomas (1787), Robert (1759) and John(1738) are all connected to Loders by being born, baptised, married and buried here, or in surrounding villages.  Their ancestral home one might say.  Still tracing them further via Dorset OPC and BT records.  Collecting any photos related to these ancestors of mine and where they lived.  Photos bring back happy memories and are good records of events.
