As I see you're not too far away Dud, the local history centre at Poole Museum must be worth a visit, if you then went on to the area of Retreat Place (Ashley Road) it would give you a feel of the area, also there is an old photos book of Parkstone which is usually on the bookstall of the Dorset Family History Society, might be worth contacting them.

Hi Jo.

The 1891 ref is RG12/1639 page 12.  The family listed at No 10 were my rellies.  Harry, head, was my gt. grandfather and his son Mark my grandfather.
I was curious as to where they lived. The family originated in Cranborne. When Harry and Tamar married they moved to Constitution Hill and then to Retreat Place. In the 1898/9s the family moved to Camberley in Surrey this being a developing town. Both Harry and Mark had business as builders employing about twenty men.
I was curious as to where they were living, but if the place no longer exists
is not worth visiting.
Thanks for your help. Dud.


Hi, seem we are cousins of some kind as Harry/Tamar are my my great great grandparents via their daughter Clara, who died when I was two.

I would be very interested in any information you have on them - I only have what I've managed to track down from census records online.

BTW, 10 Retreat TERRACE Parkstone is where I beive my grandfather was born, perhaps Clara inherited it?

According to a relationship chart I have, from the information you have provided the relationship is second cousin once removed. Hope that's useful.
