My goodness, thank you all so much.  It will take me a little while to digest all this, so I shan't make any comments now, except to send my grateful thanks to you all. :) :)

Dorset / Dorchester/Beaminster look up
« on: Thursday 16 July 20 03:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello, hoping someone can enlighten me.  I have Bertha Matilda Jeffery Saunders born in Dorchester in 1887 (5a/339) to John & Amelia Saunders.   Using Jeffrey as a clue, I found a John Saunders & Amelia Jeffery married in Beaminister 5a/703 in June qtr 1878.  Bertha definitely has siblings: William, Herbert, Elizabeth/Maud, and Victor.  At some point the family come to Australia.  Unfortunately I cannot find any more info in Aust about John, but Amelia died in NSW 1943 and the death notice indicates John already deceased.  Too many John Saunders!  Could someone check some census or something, which might provide some clues, perhaps his parents names or something.   Many thanks.  Sorry UK having such problems with covid.  Aust now going downhill at the moment, people too complacent here.

My father (living in Bury 1911) was placed in total isolation for six weeks in Elton Hospital suffering from both scarlet fever and diphtheria at a young age. He was not allowed visitors and the ordeal left him fearful of hospitalisation for the remainder of his 83 years.

Thank you jonw65.  I thought workhouse would be his lot.  Probably William, at 79, "worked out".   May be Jessie had another christian name, or the spelling was a bit different.  He couldn't sign his name when he married, so perhaps the parents not very well educated either.  Somewhere I saw "John Jessie" online but cant find that reference anymore.   Not to worry, I greatly appreciate the help I have had.

Thank you both for ongoing interest in this family.   What does Battle Union mean?  Would William have been in a workhouse when he died?   The entry next to his burial says Parish of Mountfield, so does that mean that Parish paid for his burial?  Some others on the page say Battle Union.   Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Many thanks Wivenhoe.  I hadn't actually found the article re Jesse's death, so pleased to have it esp as I have been pondering on all the children recorded as being born to a Jesse and Ann in Aust, on top of the UK born.   William's events have plenty of articles, so it was easy to find.  Appreciate your interest.   :)

PS It is son, William, whom I am then following.   He accidentally shot himself duck hunting in 1871 in Aust.

Well, despite my lack of expertise in all things, including forums... I have just managed to download a copy of the marriage.  Absolutely thrilled, thank you so much.  And yes, fresh eyes, see that Sarah was on the ships list, so I stand corrected there.  Really appreciate your help jonw65

Hello, I have a Jessie Moon of Mountfield (father may be William) born about 1800 and Ann Ralph [or Rath) of Brightling, plus their children David (1826) William Mary Harriet & Dinnah all arriving in Aust 1839 aboard Prince Regent.  I would be grateful if someone could check for a marriage date and confirm Ann's name please.
