Dorset / Re: Winterborne Zelston Address

I think it says The Red Cottage rather than cottages, it's a little squished but think it is still an 'R' just a little less flamboyant as he was trying to keep it under the line.

I'm struggling to recollect as I've not been out there for years but am sure there aren't enough houses for any to be named cottages in the plural.

Dorset Lookup Requests / Re: Susannah BOLTON 1837 Wimbourne, Dorset

Suzanne

Mail this to me on on dorset.opc[at]googlemail.com and I will forward this to a couple of people who can check for you. Tesca has some records that aren't online but also have a couple other options... Wimborne is a bit all over at the moment as I suddenly have three people who want to work on it, so we are still figuring who is going to do what.

NOTE TO MODERATORS - this is the main contact address on the OPC at the moment so is ok to stay public... did I tell you that before? Goldfish memory LOL

Dorset / Re: Wrackleford House

If it's not in Hutchins I'll be amazed, he and the later editors covered the 'big houses' extensively, I'll photocopy it which will hopefully be good enough to scan and mail to you.

Have you found the Wrackleford Estate website? http://www.wrackleford.co.uk/contact.asp might be worth mailing them as well?

Hi Stephen

There should be something in Hutchins about the house, sorry can't remember where you are!? Most of the bigger libraries in Dorset have copies of all of them... I know they've got copies of the whole set in Blandford Library.. can't go tomorrow as it is closed but have to go up town on Thursday so can go and take a look for you?

Is there anything in particular you are after?

Found another way of getting to it!

Hugh's father's death is listed... April 4th 1936, Charles Frederick Gilborne Sixmith beloved husband of Muriel of Barry, Glamorgan aged 74... he was an old father? could this be Hugh's G. father... wrong side at the moment but will keep looking

From the London Gazette 23rd Match 1944

Appointments to the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in recognition of gallent and distinguished service in Sicily_

Major (temorary Lieutenant-Colonel) Hugh Leonard William Sixsmith M.B.E (116968) Royal Army Medical Corp (West Horsley, Surrey)

So! he already had an M.B.E. before the O.B.E. if the OBE was for service, possibly the MBE was as well?

Jen

Anything else will probably be in the Times index but can't get to it at the moment, both links from Bournemouth Libraries and Dorset Libraries are down!

Dorset / Re: Evershot Birth Record
« on: Saturday 21 March 09 16:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Is this any help?

From the Evershot registers

15 Jul 1843, Elizabeth do John and Mary Ann GROVES, Labourer
is the closest, there is also another born the year before...

30 Jan 1842, Elizabeth illegitimate do Mary Ann GROVES

There don't seem to be any more baptisms for children of John and Mary Ann but plenty either side for John & Maria, I suspect Mary Ann & Maria are one and the same.

I'll take a look, I'm still trying to get the hang of the way it;s all organised... townlands/baronies etc, still rather confused.

Thanks
Jen
