My gr.gr.gr.grandfather George Vincent (1777-1838) was married to Rebekkah (sic) Chamberlain in Melcombe Horsey where he died. His son James was baptised there 1814 and also married there to Martha Smith Gover in 1837.
James went to Sunderland and I have a fairly complete tree forwards but I can't move backwards into George's parent's generation.
He is NOT one of the Georges that lived in Dewlish although it is quite possible that he was related.
He was a "servant" on James' marriage cert. as was Martha's father Silas Gover. The Dewlish/Milbourne St Andrew Govers are extremely well documented elsewhere. I wonder if that was at the big house in Melcombe Horsey?
Any clues to be found out there?

Have you had a look at www.opcdorset.com ? There's a great variety of information available; census, Wills, baptisms, marriages, burials, directories, militia etc.
