I left as well but I was only a babe in arms at the time. I think my parents got homesick.

I tend to gather all Foot information that I can find so I have information on a number of distinct unconnected lines. I hope that as I find further generations some links may appear.

I come from the line of Titus's Uncle John. Apparently. I say apparently as this info came from a chap called Leonard Foot who published a Foot family tree (and a book) about 15 years ago. The more I research though the more I find inconsistencies. I think some of the links may have been fanciful assumptions. Nonetheless I keep the information there until I can disprove it. The descendants of John Foot migrated to Cranford Chase and can still be found on the Shaftesbury/Blandford road from Cann to Stourpaine. In the Manston cemetery well over half of the gravestones bear the name.

There are a number of Eliza Jane Warehams around that time. This is the baptism record of the one I believe you are looking for - St Peters, Shaftesbury.

1856; 26-Oct; WAREHAM; Eliza Jane; daughter of; William & Elizabeth; sawyer; Coppice St.

Sorry I should have clarified. Titus was born about 1780 because his baptism was 28 May 1780 in Buckland Newton. Again it can only be "about" as during my searches I have found that there can be up to 3 years between birth and baptism. In most cases I am sure that they were baptised within the month.

Hi all, according to my calculator, Titus is my 1st Cousin 7 x removed. He was born probably in 1780 in Buckland Newton, Married Susannah Allen, 1 Nov 1802 and sadly his death is recorded in the Union Work House, Cerne Abbas. 27 Oct 1828. I have to post a caveat here. The Titus who died in Cerne Abbas was roughly the right age but may not have been the same person. There was certainly one more Titus Foot kicking about Dorset at that time. It is unlikely that he was buried at the Workhouse. All burials had to be in consecrated ground unless it was a heathen/unbaptised or suicide. Even then they are likely to be buried in a cemetry. I have found a couple of suicides that are buried in church cemetries. Normally they note the burial record as "No Service" or such
