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.
Any information appreciated

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,

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
