Beaulieu baptisms - in Beaulieu or elsewhere?

[Willow C Winsham]

Hi,

I'm trying to piece together the family of a Mary Dore who lived in Beaulieu and died there c.1750. I have searched the parish registers for Beaulieu on FindMyPast, and there is only one baptism coming up for the time period for anyone with the surname Dore. My question is whether those born in Beaulieu could have possibly been baptised elsewhere, i.e was there a church/parish nearby that baptisms for those from Beaulieu took place?

Huge thanks in advance!

According to FindMyPast their Beaulieu baptisms on the site only start at 1752.

Was Mary married?  Do you know her husband's name?

There is the burial of a Mary Dore in Beaulieu in 1779.  A Mary Dore (although the name may be difficult to read in the original) was buried in Boldre (adjacent parish) in 1750.

So perhaps some details of other family members might help.  When approaching something like this, a different angle sometimes helps.

Oh gosh, yes that would explain it wouldn't it?!  Whoops, thank you for pointing that out, I missed that entirely!

Which brings me to the next question then; apparently the registers exist from 1653 onwards - other than the record offices, which are obviously closed right now, are there transcripts available either to purchase or online? Off to search!

Hi Nell,

Thank you very much for this! Can I ask where you found this information? I'm now searching for parish register transcripts if they exist due to FindMyPast only starting mid 1750s.

PR transcripts that I have on my book shelf.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look for me

Are the Beaulieu register transcripts available to purchase online?
