Holy Trinity Dorchester
« on: Thursday 19 January 17 16:39 GMT (UK) »
Hello; this is one of those clutching at straws moment and as a last resort I am turning to rootschat members for help.  I am trying to learn how long a former incumbent of Holy Trinity was minister at the church; he arrived 1950 (according to church magazine).  The person in question is Rev A J G Chard (now deceased). I would appreciate any help

Canon Albert Jesse Gauntlett Chard, I presume?

As I told you in a related thread, his record is on Crockford's (search deceased only), but you need a subscription to see the details.
£35 for 12 months.

Or try a local library? They might have a copy.
