An Australian cemetery has published a story about one of its early committee members, who emigrated from Blandford. Find it at http://www.brightoncemetorians.org/Newsletter/2005/TC1.pdf

Hi Paul

Just found this link - I had family came to NSW from Dorset 1849 & the mother of the wife was originally a Simmonds - may be a connection - my folks were around Shaftesbury - not too far away.

thanks

Trish
