Nell, unfortunately there is no parish clerk for Folke at the moment.(just my luck!). If only Bridget hadn't been born in Newfoundland it might have been easier to trace her and at least get the correct spelling for her surname. Merry, you're right--Job died in 1885 and Bridget died in 1907. Might have to leave this one and come back to it later-- with a fresh brain! Still no takers for my credits on family relatives. Sue.

I think Nell found a different Job Hann in 1891, as yours would appear to have died..... Here's his wife, recorded as widow: Hann, Bridgete abt 1837 Newfoundland, Harton Brecon Servant Folke Dorset I was looking because I wondered if he married the second time round, but it turned out there was no second time round :O(( Name: Hann, Job Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 55 Quarter: September Year: 1885 District: Sherborne County: Dorset Somerset Volume: 5a Page: 203 Merry

I guess you could always e-mail the Online Parish Clerk or the county records office with the dates you;ve got and see if they can find the marriage. nell

and by 1891 he has acquired a new wife: Hann, Hannah abt 1832 Wootton Fitzpaine, Dorset, England Wife Marshwood Dorset View Record Hann, Job abt 1831 Wootton Fitzpaine, Dorset, England Head Marshwood Dorset

I see Bridget has become Frederick in 1871: Elizabeth Hann abt 1866 Allweston, Dorset, England Daughter Folke Dorset View Record Frances Hann abt 1864 Allweston, Dorset, England Daughter Folke Dorset View Record Frederick Hann abt 1833 NF Wife Folke Dorset View Record Job Hann abt 1831 Allweston, Dorset, England Head Folke Dorset View Record John Hann abt 1856 Allweston, Dorset, England Son Folke Dorset View Record Lydia Hann abt 1862 Allweston, Dorset, England Daughter Folke Dorset View Record Sarah Hann abt 1869 Allweston, Dorset, England Daughter Folke Dorset

nudge.

p.s can't get on with family relatives site-it drives me crackers(keep being timed out). Anybody want my credits? Sue.

Oh, I've used Dorset opc quite a lot, just haven't got around to the monumental inscriptions bit.

try this for grave your site http://www.dorset-opc(.)com/(searchpage2.htm) remove brackets

It was on http://www.dorset-opc(.)com/ (remove brackets) Click on ''Search This Site'' and then on Monumental Inscriptions Database, I filled in Hann and Folke. There were a couple of 20thC ones too.... Merry

Sorry everyone, there was a power-cut last night and I couldn't get back to you. Thanks for all your help-I'm glad it wasn't just me who couldn't find the marriage.(If there ever was one!). On the copy of the family tree that I inherited it has 2 marriage dates i.e. 1854 and 1855 and I thought I'd try to find out which one was correct. Beginning to wish I'd never started!!!!!!! Merry, where did you find the info about the gravestone? Sue.

Sue......Didn't know if you had seen that there is a gravestone for Job Hann's mother, Elizabeth, at Folke Churchyard: St Lawrence parish church, Folke. Monument number: 64 Large upright stone (fallen and broken) Sacred to the memory of Elizabeth Wife of Benjamin HANN Who died March 23rd 1861 Aged 59 years Merry

Well I'm sorry Sue but either they are mistranscribed, didn't get married or married after the first baby was born:)) I have checked on 1837 for Job Hann from Jan 1851 to Dec 1856 and have cross checked any vague possibilities but no luck. Chrissie

I would have thought everyone would be only too glad!! In 1861 their eldest known child was 5: Job; HANN; Head; Married; 24; Ag. Lab.; Folke; ; RG9/1359 F115p10 Bridget; HANN; Wife; Married; 27; ; Newfoundland; RG9/1359 F115p10 John J.; HANN; Son; ; 5; Scholar; Folke; ; RG9/1359 F115p10 Henry A.; HANN; Son; ; 3; Scholar; Folke; ; RG9/1359 F115p10 Andrew G.; HANN; Son; ; 1; ; Folke; ; RG9/1359 F115p10 Merry

Does anyone mind if I go and finish off 55? I just feel like a little searching:)) p.s. I mean on 1837

I checked the 4Q's of 1854 and Q1 of 1855 last night on FreeBMD and viewed the images. There were no Job Hann's in any of those .................... Then I was too tired to look any more! Merry

Sue and Judith 1837online now uses full surnames in the search, also full first names and not just first few letters as before.

How odd! - if you just put HA in the surname space the message about no matches comes up, but if you put Han or Hann then the pages for each quarter are listed. Must be a 'blip' in the system as I'm sure usually you can search with just the first two letters.

I didn't search as I have no credits, but I filled in the boxes for Mar 1854-Dec 1955 marriages and Job Hann and it has responded with pages for all 8 quarters. nell

On 1837, I entered the dates, from and to. The first 2 letters of the surname and the christian name. I get a reply back of There are no entries that match the search criteria that you have entered. Sue.
