Re: WAKELY - FARNHAM - SMITH - WARREN and related families of Dorset

caminus1 — 2009-11-06 22:34:45Z

Hi,

I have just come across your piece while searching for information about my ancestor. He was Henry Smith (c1792)born in Marshwood Dorset. I have struggled for many weeks to find out who his parents were although I know he married his cousin Sarah Smith and would therefore have an uncle William Smith (c1769. The family lived in and around the area between Marshwood Burton Bradstock and Misterton in Somerset before my great Grandfather moved to Norfolk. Do you have any information on these Smiths which might be helpful?

Many thanks, Sue

Duncan
Thanks for alerting me to the fact that the Litton Cheney Baptisms and Burials are missing from the main page. With about 300 parishes to keep an eye on its very difficult to notice missing items like this.

The bad news is that the previous Co-ordinator seems to have taken the pages off of the OPC site altogether to work on them. I have no idea why, seems a better idea to me to leave the old ones online while new ones are being prepared. Now I have no way of accessing these files as Jennifer is no longer in contact.

One small bit of good news is that the file for the 1814-1843 marriages was still on site and so I have restored that.

I will endeavour to find out if the OPC for Litton has any sort of backup for the missing files.

Hi Duncan, I too subscribe to findmypast and didn't notice these records until you mentioned it. I've had a quick look and some different Trevet's appear so I 'll need to study them more carefully. Thanks for that.

Nick,
I use the BVRI discs. Although some of these vital records seem to be finding their way onto the pilot LDS site, many (including the Thomas TREVET baptism at Compton Vallence (1744) are not online at this point. Like you, I try to look at the Dorset OPC site whenever possible, and found many of my TREVETTs at Litton Cheney before the records were taken off the site for improvements (or whatever). Unfortunately the BVRI discs do not cover Litton Cheney, although they do have many nearby Dorset parishes such as Long Bredy. One other online resource is FindmyPast (a pay site), which has the Dorset Baptism Index, but even this only covers Litton Cheney baptisms from 1768-1837 at present.

Re: Trevett - Dorset

vanessamarshall — 2009-11-05 23:32:17Z

Dear Nick,

I suggest you obtain a copy of Abraham TRIVETT (sic) and Hannah TUCKER's marriage certificate in order to confirm who their fathers were.

Marriage registered Dec 1/4 1844 Yeovil District GRO Ref: 10 - 815.

Certificates are available from The General Register Office (GRO) - see www.gro.gov.uk

Abraham is on the 1841 Census in Litton Cheney, however unfortunately he is not with his parents but is listed as a male servant to a Dairyman - John Hurford:

Name: Abraham TREVETT
Age: 15 (remember ages are rounded to nearest 5 years on this census)
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1826
Gender: Male
Where born: Dorset, England

Civil parish: Litton Cheney
Hundred: Uggscombe
County/Island: Dorset
Country: England

Street Address: Litton Cheney

Occupation: Male Servant

Registration district: Bridport
Sub-registration district: Burton Bradstock

Household Members:
Name Age
Abraham TREVETT 15

Info - Ancestry.co.uk.

As there are several people on the census who might be Abraham's parents (Francis & Ann, William & Sarah or John & Mary), I wouldn't assume anything, no matter how likely it may seem.
You must check original records to confirm (or deny) any probabilities.

I see his death was registered Jun 1/4 1903 Westbury District Wilts GRO Ref: 5a - 78. (Aged 80)

This would mean he was born abt 1823/24, which tallies with other census listings.

I take it that Abraham's baptism wasn't confirmed by Valerie Pettifer the OPC for Litton Cheney, so searching the records of nearby parishes may bring it to light and therefore confirm his parentage.

Re: Trevett - Dorset

nfstuart — 2009-11-05 13:37:09Z

Hi Duncan, thanks for that. Since the Litton Cheney baptisms are still offline I have searched round other close villages / parishes for any likely matches so any extra info. is appreciated. Now about the BVRI, can these only be accessed on disc or are they available via other sources ?
Regards
Nick (was in Cumbria now back in 'ampshire)

Re: Trevett - Dorset

Duncan342 — 2009-11-05 11:48:45Z

Nick,

If you haven't found a baptism of your Thomas TREVETT (c 1750) in the obvious place of Litton Cheney, then you might consider the one that appears on the BVRI for a Thomas TREVET baptised at Compton Vallence on 18 Nov 1744, father John TREVET. That's only 3 miles from Litton.

Duncan, Dundee

Re: Trevett - Dorset

nfstuart — 2009-11-05 10:44:52Z

Hi Vanessa and Eric, I too am researching my Trevett / Trivet connections in Dorset. Here is part of an earlier posting.

My GGG Grandfather Abraham TRIVETT (abt 1820 - 1903) married Hannah TUCKER (abt 1825 - 1895) in Sep 1/4 1884 in Yeovil, Somerset, and was born and baptized in Litton Cheney, so it's from him backwards that I'm researching.
I think his parents were Francis TREVET (abt 1777) and Ann MAYERS (abt 1786) married in Litton Cheney in 1807. At this point I need help since there seem to be so many TREVETT's around the Litton Cheney area at this time.

The Dorset OPC, Valerie Pettifer, responded with some possible names. I have downloaded Brian Trevette's document with suggests Francis Trevet's parents were Thomas Trevet, abt 1750, and Mary Trevet abt 1750. Can either of you help with these names, also I cannot find a baptism for Thomas !

Any help or communication with other TREVETT researchers would be appreciated.

Regards

Nick

Re: Trevett - Dorset

EricBurton823 — 2009-11-05 08:20:34Z

Hi Vanessa,

A somewhat belated and heartfelt thank you(I have been offline a while) for all the information on Trevett you kindly provided me with.Some I already had and you have added a few interesting things I had not discovered.
My search now continues with the name Burton.

Best regards

Re: Marshallsay / Marshallsea & variations; Dorset & Somerset

petals3 — 2009-11-04 04:58:22Z

Have read your Marshalsea with interest. I have Ruth Marshalsea b1806 in Whitelackington Somerset who married William Harvey b1801 Whitelackinton Somerset. they married 15 January 1826 in St Mary's Church Whitelackington Somerset. I was wondering if my Ruth could be a daughter of Levi Marshalsea. I recently visited Whitelackington which is such a small village, probably less than 30 families at that time (& enow)so feel sure there must be a connection. I have no records of family connected to her. Would love to hear your comments. PS: My Ruth is definitly from Whitelackington Somerset and not White Lackington Dorset.
Many thanks - Lynda Benjamin (Harvey)

Re: Dorset OPC - problem resolved!!!

Yes - I agree Jon.

My only concern is that I could access the Dorset OPC website a few weeks ago with my original (default) DNS server configuration! Strange.

Anyway, back in business - thanks for the update.

Re: Dorset OPC - problem resolved!!!

yydelilah — 2009-11-01 10:57:33Z

Hi - for those people who have problems accessing some OPC sites (like myself), this may help.

My ISP is Plusnet (now part of BT) and I contacted them about this problem.

It turns out that the default Plusnet DNS server (the server that resolves website addresses and allows you to connect to the website) didn't recognise the website I was trying to contact i.e. www.opcdorset.com (and the Somerset OPC for that matter).

The techie at Plusnet suggested configuring alternative DNS server addresses for my TCP/IP installation on my PC and now I can access all the sites!!

I'm a techie, so doing this was no problem, but the bottom line is:

The problem lies with your ISP and they should be able to fix it for you.

Hope this helps. If anyone needs more info. please ask.

Re: Dorset OPC

yydelilah — 2009-10-31 12:08:11Z

I get the same problem with the Somerset OPC (www.wsom-opc.org.uk) - really frustrating.
Have contacted my ISP and will post results if I find out what causes the problem.

Hi Paul,
My wife Lynne and I have been extremely interested in this thread as we have had the same problems as you have had with contacting the Dorset OPC site for something like 12 months or more. We are also TPG customers and I have contacted TPG support staff in the past and they have suggested various things like checking security settings, clearing cache etc but to no avail. I'm not a techie but can go into tools, options etc, and change varios settings, could you contact us offlist at our e-mail address of keilyn03@tpg.com.au and give us some pointers on how to change these DNS settings that have been spoken about, we are running windows XP home edition with the various upgrades.

Many Thanks.

Hi Jon and thanks for your reply.

I don't know whether my ISP has had any reply to his email to your technical people. I do know that other TPG users have the same problem with the OPC Dorset site. In reading my ISP's email to your technical people that he copied me, his explanation to them about what he thought the problem was at your end seemed very reasonable.

I remember having the same problem with part of the Scotland Genealogy website a while back which they eventually resolved.

Thank you very much for your offer to help with any specific information I need, I'll get the details together and send to you.

Re: Dorset OPC

talltrees120 — 2009-10-30 21:42:07Z

Jon,
I have been having the same problem for nearly six months. After contacting my ISP here in Australia (TPG), I was told by their webmaster that it is a technical problem with the settings of the OPC Dorset site. TPG's webmaster has contacted the OPC Dorset technical people but there has been no resolution to the problem yet.

Very frustrating as I have a few Dorset lines I need to check on and can't. The Sussex OPC site has the same problems for me.

Re: Dorset OPC - problem resolved!!!

talltrees120 — 2009-11-01 20:57:35Z

I stand well and truly corrected and thank you very much for your assistance to everyone. I have just changed my DNS Servers (primary and secondary) and I was able to contact the OPC sites for Dorset and Sussex which I haven't been able to do for months!

I will now contact my ISP and let them know that they need to fix up their DNS Servers.

Thank you all once again.... Paul

talltrees120 — 2009-11-01 00:44:06Z

alijprescott — 2009-11-01 19:49:35Z

I am trying to find the birth details for Henry Cox. He was married to Caroline Pope 13 Sep 1873 in the Parish Church Wimborne Minster. According to their marriage certificate his father was John Cox. They had a daughter Rosa Matilda born 1876. I think Henry died 1888. According to the 1881 census (in which they are down as Con!!) Henry was born in Wimborne Dorset.

Can awyone help please as I am at my wits end!

Re: Dorset OPC

johnsgenealogy — 2009-10-31 08:29:29Z

It must be TPG blocking access to both the Dorset and Sussex OPC sites.

I'm in Melbourne and on Optusnet and have no problems accessing both sites. Just been into the Dorset site to look up some information.

I'll cross TPG off my list of possible ISP's now when I need to change.

Should also add that there is no technical connection between the Dorset and Sussex OPC sites, they are hosted completely separately and maintained by completely different people, so the fact that you are having the same problem with both would suggest that your ISP is the root cause of the issue you are having, otherwise it would be a massive coincidence.

At some point in the not too distant future I will need to move to another host, but at the moment while it is still working I am delaying that. The site is still getting hundreds of visits per day, so if I were you I would pursue this with your ISP further as the problem is in reality more likely their end.

Drop me a mail if there is any specific information you are looking for, dorset.opc@vectisjon.com

Good news.
Clearly had to be a problem with ISPs at the requesting end because as I said there is absolutely no connection or commonality between the various OPC sites.

Are you referring to a John Sanders who married a Lavinia or his father? I am related to the family of John Snr and have done much of the family tree for that side of the family and live only 45 minutes from Weymouth/Melcombe. Would gladly swap info. If this is your family do you have any information about the apparent family rift prior to John Snr's death please?
