Hi, could you please see if there is anything for the Manuel or Homer families from the Almer/Mapperton/WinterborneZelston area from late 1600s to early 1800s. I am having particular trouble sorting out three Richard Manuels in Winterborne Zelston in the mid 1700s.

Hi row666, and welcome to RootsChat. Smiley

Unplaced but it is a Richard:

Name, Date, Grantee
Manuel, Richard, 21 Dec 1763, Robert Manuel

Nothing in these areas for Homer I'm afraid.

Good luck in your searches. Smiley

Hello Paul
Could I impose on your kind offer please?

Are there any wills for HOARE or GUBBINS around Canford Magna and Hampreston/Stapehill?  The Hoares were Yeoman farmers in Canford Magna up to about 1800, after that their families spread out to Hampreston.

As to Ag Labs etc leaving wills.... I have one from Cambridgeshire where he left 10 acres of Common Land to his wife and sons.  I presume that he had been granted rights over those 10 acres and if he didn't will them to someone they reverted back to "normal" Common Land or back to the landowner.  It didn't give me any extra info that I didn't already know but it was interesting to see it none the less.

Thanks

Hi Brenda,

Just three Hoare's, but sadly none in your areas.

Hoare, Edward, Huh, 37, 1663
Hoare, Grace, Stockland, 68, 1764
Hoare, Joseph, Tolpuddle, 34, 1788

Not a single Gubbins I'm afraid. Sad Lovely name though.

Worth a try, thanks for looking.  I like the Gubbins name too, not one you hear of these days.

Hi Mark,

Prince, Richard, Gussage All Saints, 31 1780

No Fry's from Bloxworth I'm afraid.

Another request if I may?

Dawbeny/Dawbeney/Daubeney  and probably a few more variations upon that.

Main area of interest Gorwell and Winterborne Steepleton.

Thanks.

Hi Stephen,

All I could find.

There are some other Pitmans and Strouds but not many.
Paul

Hi Paul,
Can I trouble you again - is there by any chance a William Pitman (not before 1744, when he married, but not sure when he died, sorry) or any Strouds (or variant spellings Strode/Strood/Strowd etc) for Bradford Peverell/Dorchester on the disc?
Many thanks,

Hi Ermy,

There's a:

Pitman, William, ------ 1747

and a little less likely:

Pitman, William, Blandford 1 1772

and

No.,  Testator, Dated, Proved, Grantee
26, Pitman (William), 22 Nov 1794, 22 Jan 1796, William Pitman
27, Pitman (William), 14 Jan 1811, 8 Oct 1813, Edw. White and Daniel Goodeve

Of your Strouds:-

Stroud, John, Dorchester 14 1673
Strode, Philip, Bradford Peverel 16 1739

There are a couple of unplaced Strowds:

Strowde, John, Adm. 1580
Strowde, William, Account 1581


Also on your Strouds ... I found this which intrigued me. What a wonderful name:

Stroud, Sagweridy, Warnwell 82 1733

Wow, that's great, thanks Paul.  The one that I really want to get my hands on is Philip Strode's of Bradford Peverell - but he's not listed on the Wiltshire & Swindon Wills catalogue.  Did you ever get an answer from Dorset RO about where the wills on the CD are held, this one doesn't seem to be on their catalogue either?

Sagweridy??!!  Rather you, than me!

Hi Ermy,

The only will that related to me was found for me by the DRO in Dorchester. I may not have gone through the normal channels (I probably didn't know them at the time). I seem to remember I just e-mailed them, they looked for it and found it. I didn't know there was a catalogue.

Perhaps someone else will know the best route. I seem to have mislaid the e-mail thread. I'd just find the most appropriate looking contact on their website, e-mail them and ask. Knowing exactly what you are looking for is a great help to them.

I notice a mention of Blandford, I have the will of Osmond Luffman dated 1671 made in Blandford shortly before his death. Details were given to me by an American cousin from a document called extract from the original record (or similar). As the will pre dates the Blandford fire I feel that there may be other documents held by DRO which do not appear in their catalogues. I also believe that many archives have documents acquired before wide spread computer usage which even now are not always included in the published records.
