Not sure if there is a connection but I went to Dorchester today and spotted, above a shop on the corner of the High Street and Trinity Street, "Genge" carved in the stonework.  The shop below has been modernised but would have been well-placed for a market town.  Sadly I did not have my camera with me.  I don't go to Dorchester very often but if you would like a photo send me a pm.

Unfortunately I no longer need to go to Dorchester but you might be able to see the shop using Google Maps.

Hi, I've had a look - are you sure it was the corner of Trinity and High Streets in Dorchester?

Sorry to trouble you,

Jane

Genge's was a department store - now long since closed and demolished.  In its day was just the place to take afternoon tea.

Thanks so much for this - was it the corner of High Steet and Trinity Street - I guess the whole building was demolished?

Thanks,

I've managed to find it.....it is above "Ladbrokes" (a corner building) and on the opposite corner is "The Horse with the Red Umbrella" tea/coffee shop.  Look for the yellow cross hatching on the road.

Wow thank you so very much. t is always so great when total strangers help each other with things like this. I will take a look on google maps now and try to take a pic. I will be able to share this with other Genge relations as we seem to all be connected originally :) :) :) Again thank you!

The Rector at Puddletown from 1571 - 1638 was Revd. Thomas Genge (1548-1612), his wife's name was Jane (died 1611). I assume they were the parents of all Genge children born in Puddletown/Piddleton between the years 1573 and 1585. These were Charles b. 1573, John b 1574, Martha b 1575, Mary b 1576, Erasmus b 1577, Alice and Edithe b 1578, Lazarus b 1585.
