Dunfords of Dorset

[Trouble]

Can anybody help with information regarding the Dunford's of Dorset, especially around the Great Toller/Toller Porcorum area circa 1850.
Many thanks

Hi Trouble,

I can see quite a lot of Dunfords born Toller / Porcorum on census. Anyone specific you are looking for?

Hi Tati,
Looking for any connections to William born circa 1835 married to Hannah (Anna) Maria Stone, they had a son Frederick b 1886, does this help.

Hi Trouble,

The Toller Porcorum page on www.opc.dorset.com has details of baptisms 1748-1876 plus the census for 1841, 1861 and 1871.

Also photographs and maps.

Hope that helps,

Nanny Jan

Thanks Tati,
 Looks like that could tie up with other info I have, at the moment gathering as much as I can, then sifting through so anything you think might be relevant would be appreciated, thanks
