Hi alamar 
On the parish locator Winterbourne Came is shown as 1.8 miles from the market town of Dorchester.
This site has recording of the dialect of Dorchester Dorset.
It is a bit slow to load, but it does work.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/recordings/group/solent-maidennewton.shtml
Have you checked the IGI ?
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/customsearchresults.asp
shows 29 entries for Frances Vincent in Dorset.
There is one- Frances Jane Vincent Christening 25 JUL 1852 Melcombe-Regis Dorset.
Melcombe-Regis is 5 miles from Winterbourne Came
Hope this helps you.
Patricia

Another potential could be Cann near Shaftesbury, also in Dorset.
It might be worth a look if the other suggestions don't work out.

hi alamar
i live in dorset and can confirm that no one uses the prefix winterborne here or ever did, if they come from a winterborne village they just say the second part e.g kingston, whitechurch , stickland.
my ancestors all wrote kingston on their census returns took me ages to sort out which cos they had not stuck winterborne down

Hi all, slightly off topic but noticing the Vincents from Dorset on several posts - A friend gave me a bible from a car boot sale which they thought belonged to my lot because of the names in the flyleaves.
I've found the family living in East Street , Corfe Castle in 1881, head James C.Vincent, Wife Mary and 7 sons all born at Corfe.
The bible belonged to" James Vincent, the gift of his granmother at her death Sep 5th 1858." There are several names and marriages down to 1904.
It can't be our lot because Gt gt gran came to Dorset from Homington Wilts c.1865. If it belongs to anyone, let us know!
Fred- I 'll put it on the "Bibles "page too.

A slightly different way to appreciate the Dorset accent, is to read some of the poetry of Dorset poet, William Barnes, who was writing in the ?? 1840's ?? in Dorset dialect. You can read a sample if you dont want to buy the book, on Amazon ...

Another point to remember is that places(like surnames) aren't always pronounced as they are written. The classic Dorset example is Iwerne Minster, this is always wrongly pronounced unless you know the I is pronounced U (Iwerne also does not end in the Knee sound - sometimes heard on tv/radio).

Couldn't "Came" also refer to "Coombe" - I think this is in the Purbecks if I recall, and close to Kingston.

That would be a real spooky coincidence Cheryle - you just never know who you might meet or what you might find out on this type of site.

Good job they all stayed in one place!!!!!

 Hi Tony....I love reading posts where people find other rootschatters they may have been conversing with over a period of time and that at some stage during their conversation are lucky enough to be in that enviable position of chatting with another person who knows exactly what names,dates,places,family myths they are referring to .....cos they happen to be 'family' . It must be so exciting.
best wishes cheryle

Hi Cheryle, yes it is - just weaiting for the news of your link
Incidentally, I found some REALLY old photos of Sandbanks the other day - REALLY old being when it was just sand dunes and a few fishermen's huts - early 1900's. What a change to now... Even the Haven Hotel was just a regular house - must have been pulled down to build the current one.
