Thanks guys, I've contacted Dorset RO and they do indeed have the 1739 will of Philip Strode (hooray!) on microfilm.

Good to know Ermy  Grin Do let us know when it arrives. Smiley

Interesting thought Redroger, the more documents that survived the Blandford 'vicissitudes' the better.

Hi Lydart,

Probably no connection but I do seem to recall a 'possible' census hit in Dorset for one of my Haverill Ameys, sadly I can't find them now. I'll bear you in mind next time this link turns up.

Meanwhile, here's a coincidence: Smiley

So it is !

My Amey is Charles, b. around 1835 - 1840, Wimbourne, m. one of my Trowbridges  ... and none of the subsequent children were Harry or Henry !

Hello Lydart
                   I have just seen your post re Amey. It is quite possible they are related. I notice names Harry, Charles David & George are prominent among the early genaration of Ameys in Australia!!!
                       Regards to you,
                                      Marg.

Hello Paul

I've only just found this thread and wondered if you'd mind checking if there were any Beers in the Stockland area or any Virgin/Vergin etc anywhere at all (but particularly around Stockland). I know Beer is a very common name in Dorset so if there's loads, please don't feel obliged to list them  Grin

I really appreciate your very kind offer!

Hi Paul

Thank you so much for that! I don't recognise any of them, but then I wouldn't since I'm stuck at around 1785 and these are earlier  Roll Eyes

A few of them look really promising though, so I shall try emailing the DRO about them. It would be SO good to get back before 1785  Grin

I shall let you know what happens.

Thanks again

I should perhaps mention that I've got an index for Dorset PCC Wills and Administrations 1821 to 1858, if anyone wants a lookup for a later period.......

Thanks for the generous offer. Cheesy

Any Stockleys Angela? There may be loads, there were a lot of them. Corfe Castle particularly. If there are too many let me know and I'll give you a list of names I am particularly interested in.

Paul

Added: James Stockley 1822-1855 or John Stockley 1756-1838 would be of special interest.

Hi Angela

Thanks for your kind offer. Assuming this isn't going to get too confusing with two people looking up on the same thread .....

Thomas Gale died Shipton Gorge April 1858,
so may scrape into your index

Many thanks

Hi Paul & Jan

I suppose it could be confusing - perhaps I'll start a new thread! Anyway, I looked for Stockleys and there weren't any at all, or anything like it  Sad Sorry about that Paul.

There were several Thomas Gales but they died well before 1858, so no luck there either, Jan. I did have a quick look in the Death Duty lists and found that your Thomas did indeed leave a will. I'm useless at interpreting the entries in the index, so someone else might need to help with that unless you already know, of course! The entry said -

(Testator) Gale Thomas (Residence) Shipton Gorge, Dorset (Executor) James S Gale op  (or ap - It seems to be the executor's residence where sometimes a place name is given and sometimes this abbreviation) (Court) PR (Register) 1 (Folio) 293

Given that he died in the crossover period of 1858, I'd be tempted to send off to York for the will and keep my fingers crossed  Grin

I looked for your Stockleys in the Death Duty index as well, Paul but no luck there either

Regards

Angela

marcie  have listed them within their years from 1830/1840 within their qtrs vol and page.  If anyone wants these can list.
