Hi Barney,

have you looked on the Dorset OPC site yet / already ??
www.dorset-opc.com

if you put "orchard wareham" in the search engine you get 144 entries. The problem is (as always !) then proving which of the ORCHARDs are yours !

Another possibility is the Wareham page on the OPC site
http://www.dorset-opc.com/Wareham.htm and go directly to the Baptisms link

for instance:
1828 28-Sep  Ann  d of William & Mary Orchard  - Labourer [St Martins]  / could be a possible ???

Hope this helps,
Bob

Hello Barney
This is my first post and I am finding the site difficult to navigate so forgive me for  sideways approach.    From you list of names we have many in common - so there is a link somewhere.  My interest is  Mary Ann Raine of Romaldkirk  who married John Lee born Forest and Frith 1829. Their daughter Jane was my g gnd mother. (Married John Cameron of Barnard Castle)   I am trying to find who Mary Anne's father was - her mother is listed as Mary Raine in 1841 census.   Somewhere on this site there is somebody who is offering a huge amount on the Raines.   I can offer to take photos in Wareham  Dorset  as I spend a lot of time there, in the summer. but wont be going there for sure until  May. 
regards Iki -
