Find Ancestors

Kazzie - maybe I wasn't clear enough. In Portland, there might well have been a marriage between a John White and a MAry Comben, and the children that KV Saunders found... he just assumed that John White and Mary Comben were the parents, when in fact they might well have moved away and another John and Mary moved in.... make sense???? As for finding more - confused as to what you're asking for. Lots of Whites in Portland so going to need forenames and dates etc. As for Claxton, these are the only records that are on the disc. From Abbotsbury so might well be related somehow. 9 Mch 1885 Charles Richard of Christopher & Susan CLAXTON Abbotsbury; Farmer &c; (bn 1 Feb 85); J PICKLES 15 Jan 1874 Linna? Emily of Christopher & Susan CLAXTON Abbotsbury; Carrier; (bn 19 Dec 73); J C LITTLEY WW2 Memorial - CLAXTON Reginald A As for my Tobys - still not found them on the 1841. I already knew they weren't in Portland..... they must be about somewhere!! Chloe

Yes have these Claxtons and yeah were related Charles being John and Marys nephew not come across the Reginald though so will look for him now,as for the Whites not to worry as like you said lots of them on there,will kindly ask rellie Georgie for her Gedcom file as be much easier anyway thanks for all your help and if do come across any Tobys will let you know Kazzie

Thanks Kazzie. If you have more names etc for the Whites, more than happy to look for them on the disc.

Georgie has alot of discs for Dorset so have just emailed her to see if she can find anything on any Tobys,if anyone else you are looking for just ask Kazzie

PS - have you seen this from the IGI. Not sure how reliable it is though -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barnard White Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: 14 MAY 1775 Frampton, Dorset, England Christening: Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: John White Family Mother: Martha Toogood

Thanks Kazzie, that's really sweet.

All i really need now is info on Elizabeth White know she married William Stone in 1868-9 and had a son William in 1869 on 1871 census she is a widow and has her mum and various lodgers cant find either her or son on 1881 so either died or she remarried,finding her sister Marys marriage would be a nightmare Kazzie

Those Portland Whites might be the same family, just KV Saunders was wrong in the marriage of John and Mary. I've found a few mistakes too. It's all down to individual interpretation. Chloe

Hi there, thanks for your kind offer. Could you please see if there is anything for the 'Barnett' family? My great great grandad came from there - he was born in 1864 - Charles Barnett. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks again, Julie

Oh my goodness.... I'm descended from the Hellyers on Portland. What a load of info. Thank you :)

Mansta. My husband's Grandmother was a Hellyer and have traced back to Portland, how are you related please?

welcome to the boards Shirley :-)

Mansta posted back in 2013 and that was her only post - she might still be a member so you could try toi contact her through the site by clicking on her name to send a message - if she still has the same email she should get the message
