Hi Kerry,
The Dorset Online Parish Clerk site (www.opcdorset.com) has a baptism for Robert Coombs on the Mappowder page:
9 Oct 1829 Robert parents: Robert and Elizabeth Coombs. Robert shown as a Carrier.
There is a gap in marriage records but the online parish clerk is offering a look-up; contact details on the Mappowder page.
Other baptisms shown for children of Robert & Elizabeth Coombs:
1824 Mary Anne
1826 Jane
1832 James
1835 Betty
1837 Eliza
1840 Emily

Hi,
The home page of the OPC site lists all villages/towns in Dorset; just click on Mappowder. There's a couple of photos of the area as well.

Hi Tony,
How pleased I was when I logged on today to receive your post. 
Have looked quickly thru' your Coombs names and dates - I see a couple that I differ on, not to say you are incorrect - I may have wrong info., but some need clarifying. Where do you fit in the Coombs tree?
I am on the Emily Coombs/John Eggleston branch and have loads of info re. this branch which I would be happy to share. And would love to expand my info. on the other branches.
Also have some faded snaps of the Robert and Elizabeth and their 9 children.
I am in NSW and wait (not so patiently) to hear from you I have to say, I am quite addicted to this family history stuff!
Cheers
Kerry

Great news Kerry,I am down line of Elizabeth and John Matrin.
There are a lot of people doing their bit on Robert's family. I have a Hill End Historic site,settlers archives map of the Coombs tree as affected the Eggleston side submitted by Mrs H V Hayman (nee Eggleston) of Neutral Bay. I copied this about 25 yrs ago. Are you of this family? I have never used this site before,so how can we make direct contact without the world knowing??
Tony
