Hi Jen,
Dorset FHS might be able to help. Their website is www.dorsetfhs.org.uk.
I'm a very new member so not sure if they can but their HQ is open to members and visitors; they have a lot of records there. It is based in Poole but if that is too far for you to travel, send me a pm and I'll see if I can help.

Hi Jen,
Slightly crossed wires here; Dorset Records Office is based in Dorchester but the Family History Society has its own "office" in Poole with quite a lot of records.
The Records Office in Dorchester is now open Saturdays so use can be made of the car park that is normally used by all the surrounding office workers!
I'll take your list of names etc. next time I go to the FHS in Poole. If you have any more dates, etc just let me know; it will probably be a week or two before I go.
Lovely part of the country.....Westmorland.

Hi Jen,
I had limited time today to look at the records but I did find some info that I hope will be of use.
I found some Critchell baptisms in Bridport, all to John, a labourer, and Ann:
Samuel 8th April 1827
Sarah 1825, John 1828, John 1830, Henry 1833 and John 1834. I guess the first 2 Johns died as babies and the name re-used.
One Crocker baptism: Sarah d of George, a Flax Comber, and Hannah 12th March 1821
One Cornish/Critchell marriage John Cornish to Mary Critchell 18th September 1821
Regards,
Nanny Jan

Hi,
I'm excited to read your message. I'll tell you why - I just got my grandfather's birth certificate (Samuel Critchell 1884) and found - although he was adopted and lived in London - his natural parents came from Dorset (Bridport). His parents were Virtue nee Pitcher, and Samuel Critchell and they were weavers. in 1871, Samuel and his wife were living in North Allington, Bridport, Devon, and they had three young children. They later moved to Poplar in London and had many more children.
I have been working on the family ties, and what did I find - In 1861 Sarah Critchell (born 1848 in Bridport) was living as a servant with the Cornish family, in Bridport. Until today I did not know there were family connection between them! Thank you.
I had assumed she was an unrecorded daughter of my relatives John Critchell and Ann, but had no proof. It may be this is correct, but I need confirmation. John and Ann DID have a Sarah, but earlier, in 1825, but she may have died.
Certainly there would be a good reason for Sarah to be living with John and Mary Cornish. I note their granddaughter, Sarah GRIFFIN is also living there! She was born in London. I feel large parts of this family relocated to London and began the Critchell line there.
I'd love to hear from you!!!

I have the 1841 census from ancestry.com and it is Sarah CRITCHELL, aged 70, Independent, who is living in the Cornish family home. I have taken that to be Sarah Critchell, nee Crocker, widow of Samuel Critchell and mother of John Cornish's wife, Mary.
Also in Bridport, 1841, are John Cornish's parents:
Samuel Cornish, 65, Chandler
Hannah Cornish, 65, wife,
Maria, 25 ( occupation illegilble)
Robert, 40 ( looks like bag weaver)
Josiah, 15
John, 12
I'm not sure how these people relate to each other, except that Samuel and Hannah are husband and wife. I am assuming that the younger boys are the sons of Robert.
Hannah Cornish was born Hannah Cox in about 1776 but I have no parents for her.
I don't have any more information on the Critchells but had also seen Sarah Critchell living with the Cornish family in 1861.
Sarah GRIFFEN was the daughter of Hugh Griffen and Sarah Cornish and was the sister of my partner's great grandmother. Hugh and Sarah uprooted from Bridport after their marriage and all of the offspring I have for them were born in London. There could be others whom I haven't found yet.
This is all becoming very complicated!
Cheers,
Jen
