Hi Bethan,

Welcome to RootsChat !

Where or what is Bishops Caundle ?

go to : http://www.thedorsetpage.com/Dorset_Home.htm and enter Bishops Caundle in the search box (above). This will take you to a page about Bishops Caundle

Usually I recomend the Dorset Online Parish Clerk site www.dorset-opc.com for all Dorset searches. I entered "draper charles bishops caundle" in the search engine (Find ALL words) but didn't find your Charles 

However, the OPCs usually do look-ups aswell, so if RootsChat can't help
(but give us a bit of time and someone here usually finds answers to just about anything !)
then you could also ask the OPC for a look-up help !

Good Luck,
Bob
