Stoodley / Roper Grave Sites
« on: Tuesday 22 January 08 22:07 GMT (UK) »

Robert Roper
1823   Broadwindsor
Grace Roper (Stoodley)
1847   Broadwindsor
Eve Stoodley (Davey)
1795   Broadwindsor
Thomas Stoodley
1741   Stoke Abbott
Thomas Stoodley
1721   Stoke Abbott
Giles Stoodley
1666   Broadwindsor
Christian Stoodley (Hellier)
1703    Broadwindsor
Giles Stoodley
1637   Broadwindsor
John (Tristram) Stoodley
1610   Broadwindsor
John Stoodley
1558    Broadwindsor

Any assistance or advice on how to proceed would be most appreciated!

Hi Cecilia,

Dorset FHS have transcribed the MIs for both Broadwindsor and Stoke Abbot; not heard of Winsham in Dorset although there is one in both Somerset and Devon.   Dorset FHS offer a look up service; www.dorsetfhs.org.uk .

I live in Dorset; let me know if I can help out when you visit.

First, thank you Nanny Jan for the information on the Dorset FHS! I plan to send the list to them for look up.  Smiley

Second, thank you Alli for the information you provided!  Does this mean that I could find their graves in the St John the Baptist graveyard? I did a search on the web and found that the present church was built in 1905. Do you know if it was built on same site???

With best regards,
Cecilia

Hi Cecilia,

Have you seen www.dorset-opc.com?   On the page for Broadwindsor there is an old photo of the church plus some information about it and the village.
