Hello Cousin!

I am also descended from Eliza Melmoth. I have some information about Eliza and Joseph, please let me know what you would like to know and I may be able to help.

Hi,

Any information you have at all on Eliza and her family would be much appreciated.

Thanks :)

Dorset / MELMOTH family in Dorset
« on: Friday 15 June 12 23:01 BST (UK)  »
My great great grandmother was called Eliza Melmoth. She married Joseph Tapper in 1846 in Bryanston, Dorset.

I found this:
DURWESTON - 1841 CENSUS
62; Water Streeet; Henry MELMOTH; 60; Ag lab; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; Christiana MELMOTH; 60; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; Thomas MELMOTH; 30; Ag lab; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; Eliza MELMOTH; 20; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; Ellen MELMOTH; 15; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; James MELMOTH; 1; Y; F9P11

It seems quite likely that this is her living with her family - father Henry and mother Christiana :-\  Can anyone confirm?

Thanks all. I think I've found the birth place of the siblings, inc. the eldest but am having no luck with a marriage in the area.  Time to get a map out ::)  :)

Unfortunately, I don't know of any siblings. I'll have a look on familysearch.

Many Thanks :)

Dorset Lookup Requests / William Riggs, father of Frederick Riggs (born in Milton Abbas)

Hi,

I wondered if anyone had any info at all on a William Riggs. He was married to a Mary (surname unkown) and they had a son, Frederick Riggs, who was born in Milton Abbas  in c.1832. Frederick went on to marry a Mary House.

Any info. on either Mary would also be appreciated.  :)
