Somerset / Re: DAWE Family (Dicheat Manor)

Kia Ora from New Zealand!  This is a message for Andrew who has identified himself as the new Owner of Ditcheat Manor House.  Above on the string of conversation on this site, you can see some correspondence that I had with a Dawe relative named Rebecca in 2010.  I have just looked at this site again because my husband and I are coming to Ditcheat in late June/ early July of 2019 and have booked 8 nights staying at Trap House Air BnB using this as our base to explore Somerset and surrounds.  So far as I know, no member of the New Zealand Dawe family has been back to the Manor house since my Great Great Grandfather William Hill Dawe left England in 1855.  I would be profoundly grateful to visit the Manor house where my family lived from 1669 until (I think) some time in the 1930's
Warm Regards

Hi Rebecca,
My please google "The Cyclopedia of New Zealand",  Canterbury District, William Hill Dawe, and you will find a photo and biograghy of my great great grandfther William Hill Dawe b 1835.  He had 7 children, one of which being my great grandfather Charles Rupert Algernon Dawe (see photo attached) My grandfather was Allan Murray Dawe,  (also one of 7 children) and my mother  is Barbara Ramsay (nee Dawe) one of 12 children. I have 30 Dawe cousins.
I would be interested to know just how we are related?  Was Charles Richard Dawe b. 1834 your ancestor?  And how did the family come to lose the Manor House?
regards from your distant cousin in New Zealand (where is it Spring and there is blossom on the  trees)

Hi Rebecca, greetings from  New Zealand.  Sorry, I can't assist with any legend of how the Dawes came to own Ditcheat manor, but I wonder if you would be interested to know that you have many relatives in New Zealand!  If you google "A geneological and heraldic dictionary of the  landed gentry of Great Britain and Ireland by Sir Bernard Burke part 1 1862" and look alphabetically for "Dawe" you will find a list of family members from 1669 to 1862!  William Hill Dawe b 8 April 1835, is my great great grandfather, who with his brother Edmumd Marriot Dawe, came to NZ on the ship "Royal Stuart" in 1855. Hope to hear from you soon.  Warm regards  Lynda Ramsay
