Derriman: Holnest, Cerne Abbas etc
« on: Thursday 20 March 08 09:33 GMT (UK) »
Dear All
My young (21) Australian niece is coming to the UK next month for a visit. She is a Derriman and her ancestors can be traced back to Holnest in the 17th century. There are also some in Cerne Abbas and 'across the border' in places like S Petherton. I don't need help with the family tree but it would be nice to find any remaining Derriman gravestones or similar to show her. At her age she isn't into family history but I'm going to take her back to her roots anyway - so something bearing her actual name would be good!
Is there any way of tracking some down, without going to too much trouble?
Has anyone listed/published any Dorset gravestones?
Thanks

Hi Ebba,

You could have a look at www.familyhistoryonline.net ; it is a pay per view site but does list some MIs for Dorset.   I've not used the site, so not sure of costs, but I think it is quite modest.

Hi Nanny Jan

Brilliant suggestion! There seem to be several possibilities there.

Thanks very much,
