« on: Saturday 18 July 09 14:46 UTC (UK) »
Hi

Please can you advise where the best place is to see records I'm looking for the following:
Removal orders/settlement certificates or bastardy orders for Hermitage/Evershot or Melbury Osmund, 1804,
Richard Palmer Birth details 1774 Old Meeting House, Wareham, Dorest
Richard Palmer the 1838 Death GRO in the Beaminster District.

Many thanks

Hi Terence,

The Dorset History Centre looks a good place to start.
It's in Dorchester, and appears to have good records for the area you're looking for - here's the link - http://www.dorsetforyou.com/index.jsp?articleid=386638

If you search the catalogue, you'll find what type of documents they have - Melbury Osmond is well covered, and there's even an entry for a Richard Palmer of Melbury Osmond being granted a marriage licence - could he be yours?

Good luck in your search, and have a good trip,

I don't know about that particular centre but you do need to book in advance at most of them to make sure you have access to a film or fiche reader if necessary.  The only way you can see details from a GRO entry is to buy the certficate.

I go to that records office quite a lot. I've never had to book anything in advance. The staff are very helpful. It's always good to take some sort of I D with you as some records are of limits with out I D.

Hi,

If you can arrange your visit for a Saturday you will find parking a lot easier because the main office car park will be almost empty!  During the week only a few spaces are available for the History Centre.
