Having been to Dorset last week, and finding the places my ancestors came from, it just occurred to me ... does any RootChatterer have a Tolpuddle Martyr ancestor ? I went to the museum, and it was a real eye-opener to find out just how little the ag.lab's we all have had to live on.
Anyone who hasnt been there yet, visit the museum at Tolpuddle ... its FREE !
Or look at their web-site

I am descended from a Tolpuddle Hammett cousin of James Hammett. Museum there is very good, so is the rally there each July.

Mmn - I've got (connected by distant marriages, she adds hastily), one of the 'nasty' ones - James Frampton, Lt Col of the Dorset Yeomanry....

No - definitely THAT one. His grandfather, William built Moreton Hall and the obelisk. James Frampton's sister, Mary, was apparently, much more compassionate and wrote a book, which was reputed to offer interesting social commentary. She died aged 76 in 1846.
The family, perhaps unsurprisingly, had links to the West Indies and the plantations.

Yes, I have heard of Mary's diary. You don't know what became of George Loveless's friendly society membership book which he took after arresting them all? No one seems to know what became of it, not at Kew, TUC or Dorchester RO?
Have been passed Moreton Hall, by a strange co-incidence a descendant of James Hammett TPM's future husband lived in a tied cottage there as a child, his parents working for the estate! Believe Richard Frampton-Hobbs (former MP UKIP) lives there now, and has an equestrain centre there.

WOW ! And welcome to RootsChat ... I found the Tolpuddles museum most moving, and uplifting, as my ancestors were ag.lab's just a few miles from Tolpuddle, at the time of the martyrs, and must have known about them.
Congratulations on being related to one of them ... not that you did anything to be so, but nevertheless, you must be, as you say, extremely proud !
I hope you enjoy being a member of this site; its so helpful, full of knowledgeable people, and experts all over the world. I'm in UK, put a query about Canadian ancestors on site, and got the questions answered by someone in Australia ! No doubt you too will be able to help someone with a query, and then uou feel its all worth while !
How about adding some personal details, if you want to (no compulsion) to your profile page, so we know where you are ? It makes it easier for people to help you, for e.g. if you are in USA, it doesn't help to be told to visit Kew !

Lydart many thanks for your advice regarding the site. I am still getting to grips with it and exploring, but I will most certainly complete my profile.
It was actually Rhodie who told me that I was related to James Hammett. I had heard the name mentioned as a child, but had never explored the maternal side.. Thanks Rhodie - We actually met at the Festival this year which was great. She has been a mine of information to me.

There's an article about the Tolpuddle Martyrs on pp. 46 & 47 in the October edition of Family Tree Magazine ... including some info about James Hammett.
