Hello Geoff. It's good to hear from you on this thread. As you may have seen from previous messages there are quite a few of us researching the Douse and associated families from Wiltshire. I run a web site for the name and if you would like to contact me through that I can add more https://sites.google.com/site/dousefamilyhistorygroup/ . There are about 30 of us across the world with Douse links. For now I am a descendant of William Douse and Ann Jefferies through their son William born in 1766 he was my 4x great grandfather.
I have looked before at the suggestion that Isaac Douse born abt 1774 is the one convicted of horse stealing and transported. I haven't had time today to go back over the records but anything else you have on this would be interesting. We also have in the group a number of people who have done a an autosomal DNA test. Although this far back to a link we may not get a match it would be intersting to know if any of you have tested. If you are intersted in more about the Douse family and to get our newsletter etc. do reply here and if you can send me an email through our site. Kind regards, Kirsen
