Can anybody help me
I know of several Old Lines in Dorset. My line seems to end in kimmeridge in 1794 when John & Mary Old had George 1798 Charles and two other children at Church Knowle.
I know a family Bible exists showing the lines that went to cornwall but have no idea who has the bible my grandads father died before my grandad could look at the bible as you had to be 16. Would love to find the bible.

Hi John,
Welcome to Rootschat!
Guess that you have looked on the Family Bibles board on here. Have you tried e-bay. A number come up on there.Sadly though unless they stay in the family, it is sheer luck to find one.
Apart from your Old family,what other lines have you? I would suggest you add the names to your profile as it helps people to link with you.

My great grandmother who was born in Halstead, Dorset in 1853 was christened Annie OLD Wills. OLD has to be a family name from a previous generation but I have never discovered any link. If one inserts on a map of Dorset any parish that christened an OLD ( as seen on Latter Day Saints CDs Edn.2 )
the oldest [ 1650 - 1750 ] are found inside a polygon bounded by Yetminster, Sydling St. Nicholas, Dorchester, Dewlish, Hermitage, Yetminster. It hasn't helped me but I still feel that the answer is somewhere within that area. Perhaps it might help you.

Thanks Toby,
All my lot come from the Bridport area and so far no Olds, but will check with other contacts on GR as so many of these families are interlinked.

Thank You Toby
My Old Family never stayed in the same place for long as they were shepherds thats probably why they are so hard to find.

Paul Caswell.You quote Dorset OPC. I have been trying to get the OPC for Askerswell in order to supply a gap in their parish registers. The email has been sent back, address not known. Has anyone an up to date address.?
Thanks. Toby.
