Firstly, why oh why are there so many of them using the same first name in the same time-scale(s)
On a more serious note :-
We have traced the name definitively (we hope) back to Joseph - b 1809 in Cerne Abbas, d 1/1/1848 in Weymouth. He married Ann Young, 1831 in Melcombe Regis.
Now we need a "sanity check" please of information we have taken from PRs and accumulated on various spreadsheets
Joseph was the / a son of George - b 1786 in Cerne Abbas and Mary Hurlestone who married in 1808. in Cerne Abbas
George, in turn, was the youngest son of Thomas - b 1734 in Sturminster Marshall - and Dorothy Harris who married in 1762 in Buckland Newton.
The other children, found so far, from this union were : -
Mary - b 1765 in Buckland Newton
Elizabeth - b 1771 in Cerne Abbas
John - b 1771 in Cerne Abbas
Thomas - b 1773 in Cerne Abbas
Richard - b 1779 in Cerne Abbas
Rachel - b 1779 in Cerne Abbas
We believe that Thomas (b 1734) was the son of Thomas b poss 1696 and was married to Elizabeth Norris (b1710, d 1766 in Sturminster Marshall as a widow) in 1729 in Lychette Minster
Thomas had an elder sister, Elizabeth - b 1732 Sturminster Marshall
Can anyone follow our logic trail?
We hope to get to Dorchester in April in an effort to validate the information we have so far.
Any help offered would be much appreciated.
