Hi Rebecca  & welcome to RootsChat

Do you have any given names and/or dates.  (Given name = christian name but more politically correct!)

Lots of people here only too willing to help, but the more information you can give the better   

We are not allowed to post information about (possibly) living people on RootsChat, but once you have made 2 more posts we should be able to contact you through the Personal Message system if living people are involved.

DAWES Edmund of Ditcheat gent.

Apparently the Dawe family settled at Ditcheat Manor in 1669. You can read the lineage of Hill Dawe, esq on Page 577 of the "A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain & Ireland Vol 4" by John Burke

Hill Dawe was born 16th Dec 1771

This book is available through various online sites, including Go*gle books

thanks morgan and linda

linda most of their names are all Hill Dawe or Charles Dawe or Edmund Dawe.

Morgan do you know how they got Ditcheat Manor as there are a load of rumors but no one knows the real reason?

[Morganllan]

From Burke's:

DAWE, HILL, esq. of Ditcheat, in Somersetshire, b. 16th December, 1771, succeeded his father 24th December 1820 and "is in the commission of the peace for the county".
and
"This family, which settled at Ditcheat in 1669, having bought the manor and advowson of the parish church, which were a part of the property of Lord Hopton, is a scion of the Dawes, of Dorsetshire, of the time of Edward IV. In the Harleian MSS. we find " Dawe, fam. Ped. 1000,33, (fol. 316.)

I don't know about the rumours

Hi Rebecca, greetings from  New Zealand.  Sorry, I can't assist with any legend of how the Dawes came to own Ditcheat manor, but I wonder if you would be interested to know that you have many relatives in New Zealand!  If you google "A geneological and heraldic dictionary of the  landed gentry of Great Britain and Ireland by Sir Bernard Burke part 1 1862" and look alphabetically for "Dawe" you will find a list of family members from 1669 to 1862!  William Hill Dawe b 8 April 1835, is my great great grandfather, who with his brother Edmumd Marriot Dawe, came to NZ on the ship "Royal Stuart" in 1855. Hope to hear from you soon.  Warm regards  Lynda Ramsay
