I've not edited my PROFILE yet

I would be grateful if anyone on this section of the forum is local to Poole and would be in a position to search the archives on the parish registers for that area. I have traced ancestors back to that area, and very conveniently they all seem to have been organised about registered births and christenings - all carried out at the one church (Skinner Street Independent in Poole).
I have been researching the names Lance and Snelgar, so if anyone lives in that area and could help I would be very grateful.
At the same time, if anyone knows Poole, I wonder if they could confirm whether or not the United Reform Church which is now listed as being in Skinner Street is actually on the site of the "Skinner Street Independent" mentioned in the archives I hae been researching.
Many thanks in advance
Jacki

Hi there,
Have you tried this site:
http://www.dorset-opc.com/
The Dorset Online Parish Clerk:
An Online Parish Clerk (OPC) researches all the available historical data they can find on a parish, records are transcribed, and in order to promote further private research, are made FREELY available to any researcher. This will include census, parish transcripts, bishop's transcripts and churchwardens accounts, overseers accounts, land tax records, postal directory extracts, church & village histories, etc. An OPC is a volunteer and should not be confused with the civil Parish Clerk appointed by a Parish Council.
There are about 275 parishes in Dorset and so far we have some data online for 200 of them, with OPC's covering 128 of these parishes.
They may be able to help you,
Good Luck,
Kazza.

As far as I am aware the United Reformed Church in Skinner Street is on the same site as the Independent. My Gran got married there (and still lives opposite it), she is 92.
I go the the Museum in Poole which has a Family History section and do searches on the parish records from time to time and I will look out for the names you are looking for. At the moment I am transribing the 1841 Poole St James census.
Regards
