Hi

I realise that this is an old post and so you may already have found the information you wanted . However, here goes -
RG9/1372 Folio 61 Page 23

Lodge (Hodge?)  Lake -

Thomas Manning 65 Head - Stone Mason (Born) Dorset Beaminster
Dinah Manning 65 Wife - (Born) Dorset Stockland
Henry Manning 16(?)  Son - Tailor (Born) Dorset Stockland
Sarah J Manning 7 Grandchild - (Born) Dorset Brandcombe
James Beer 6 Lodger - (Born) Devon Membury

Stockland seems to have wandered across the border between Dorset and Devon and appears in Dorset in 1861.

I also have copies of the microfiche for Stockland Parish registers, so if you would like anything else looking up, please let me know.

Regards

Angela

Hi Sues

I've found a John Reynolds in the Baptism register for Melksham St Andrew but the baptism date is 28 august 1842. If this is the right one, his parents are William and Sarah and the 1851 census entry for the household is -

Melksham (HO 107 Piece 1840 Folio 8 Page 9 + Folio 9 Page 10)

REYNOLDS William 41 Gardener Kington Langley
Sarah 46 Melksham, Wilts.
William 13 Scholar Melksham, Wilts.
Sarah 12 Scholar Melksham, Wilts.
Mary Ann 11 Scholar Melksham, Wilts.
John 8 Scholar Melksham, Wilts.
Eliza 7 Melksham, Wilts.
REYNOLDS Daniel 3 Scholar Melksham, Wilts.
TARRANT John Lodger 20 Servant Devizes, Wilts.

Hope this helps

Although I've got the scans for 1891 Wiltshire, I don't have an index, so can't find Basil Sealy (my g grandfather) This is the only time he seems to have moved an inch from his native village of Charlton.
 If some kind soul could just point me to the right village, I can carry on from there.

Thanks very much

Angela

I'm very reluctant to post this as the answer must be really obvious! I've searched the help pages and everywhere I can think but still can't work out how to send a private message.

Sorry about this

In addition to the helpful information others have supplied, you might like to have a look at Kevin Asplin's web site -

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/kevinasplin/home.html

He includes lists of men serving in several campaigns, including the Boer War. This was the only place I found reference to my grandfather and Kevin was kind enough to obtain his service record for me on a subsequent visit to Kew.

Hope this helps
