c1577 MARRIAGE between Robert BARTLETT a Yeoman of Fordington and XPIAN [ie. Christian} [Unknown]
    [Note:- Robert BARTLETT Senior (bur.1578/9)

    Robert left a Will which he has dated to 12th May 1579. Burial records at St Georges Church in Fordington however have not survived for the years 1579 to 1584 inc. Bishops Transcripts for the preceeding year however have survived, and there is a burial for a Robert BARTLETT which is the very last entry which took place on 17th March 1578/9 (at this date a year ran from 25th March not 1st January). Helpfully this Robert BARTLETT is described as being a middle aged man. Given that about 40% of the population did not reach adulthood I can only guess this to mean late 30's or early 40's. If this is correct he would have been a bit younger than Queen Elizabeth 1 who was born in 1533 and lived to the age of 70. It cannot have been his son Robert however as we know he was alive when the will was written (see below) so I have assumed that we are a year out in dating either the Will or the Bishops Transcripts. The chances of it being anybody else is remote.

    Robert BARTLETT's Will, together with an Inventory of his goods and a Letter of Administration granted to his widow provide a small window into his daily life. He ran a small farm of just over 30 acres with his wife, two sons and a daughter all alive when he was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 17th March 1578/9. On the farm his main crops were ten and half acres of wheat and twelve acres of barley. Also in the fields were 3 acres of 'dredge' (which was a mixture of wheat and barley with another corn such as oats), plus 2 acres of oats, and 2 acres of 'fatches' (which was gorse or whin used as a fuel for heating bread ovens) and one further acre of peas. His Will is careful in its allocation of livestock between his children. Specifically he left his four horses with the cart, harness ropes and other things thereto belonging to his eldest son and heir Robert. This effectively leaves him in charge of the farm. He then divides up his large flock of Sheep giving 30 to his second son Richard which is enough to start his own farm, and 12 to his daughter Johane. This still leaves 35 sheep and 12 Lambs which will accrue to his wife Christian. He then adds a caveat that his will is that Christian will retain use of everything until his children reach their age of majority specified at age 24 for the boys and age 26 for Johane. One other bequest is for a silver lamb to his godson Thomas CHOUNT. Everything else goes to his wife Christian whom he make executrix -- probate is granted on 2nd July 1579

      [Note:- As an aside their Godson, Thomas CHOUNT (d.1637), was the son of Harry CHOUNT and married Marie CUSSEN at St George Church on 4th Dec 1587. He was churchwarden in 1594 and his wife Mary was buried at FStG on 28th Feb 1607/8].

    Robert's widow Christian BARTLETT remarries (between 1580-1582 inc) to  Harry CHOUNT described as a Husbandman of Fordington and father of the aforementioned godson Thomas Chount.  Harry CHOUNT soon falls ill and writes his will on 15th July 1583 which is proved on 30th May 1584. In it he leaves a list of items to Christian his wife, including 10 sheep and a black cow together with a number of household items, and also gives back to her various other items that she brought to his house on their marriage. Harry also makes two small bequests of a crock each (which belonged to their mother) to Chritian's son Richard Bartlett and daughter Johane Bartlett

    Christian CHOUNT was later buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 25th March 1605 [Note:- Known children from her first marriage :-

He then appears to have married c1584 and we know of 4 children baptised at Fordington as shown below ( We are however missing baptisms from 1589 to 1590 inc). He is left 4 shillings in the Will of another Fordington resident John TUCKER in 1588. Robert BARTLETT Junior was buried at FStG on 10th Nov 1624:-

c 1645 MARRIAGE Unknown BARTLETT from Fordington Dorset to UNKNOWN
    [Note:- Their Parents marriage would have occurred during the Civil War (1642-1651) when Parish Registers for Fordington have not survived for the period from 1640 to 1663 inc Three of their children however each left a brief Will as Indicated below from which it has been possible to deduce a limited number of relationships. Also Elizabeth managed to live long enough for her age to be recorded of 89 from which we can roughly gauge when the siblings were born. :-

    The Three SIBLINGS arranged in order of death were:-

    (1) Joseph BARTLET (c1645 - 1725/6) of Fordington. Buried FStG 28th Jan 1725/6 Left a short Will undated . Administration granted to his daughter Mary AMEY of West Stafford Dorset 22nd Jun 1726. The estate was to be split between her and her younger sister Elizabeth

    His Will was obviously written in haste and unsatisfactory being undated, signed by his and his sister Elizabeth's marks and his son in law's signature who was married to his daughter Mary a beneficiary, so was not properly witnessed. They appeared on 22nd June 1726 before the Rev John JACOB (1690-1759) who was not only Vicar of St Georges Church in Fordington from 1714 to 1759 and would have known Joseph Bartlett, but also a JP and Surrogate of the Court authorised to grant probate etc for Fordington. He granted Mary Administration of Joseph's estate but bound her husband John Amey and Josephs' brother William Bartlett to the Court for it's correct administration. Known children:-

      (1.1) Mary BARTLETT (? - aft1735) married to John AMEY at West Stafford Dorset on 31st July 1694. Follow link provided for more information about their family of 8 children

      (1.2) Elizabeth BARTLETT (? - 1735/6) beneficiary under her father's Will and therefore living in 1726. She was due to be left 1 guinea in her aunt Elizabeth's Will shown below which was dated 21st Oct 1735 but died before her aunt and was buried at FStG on January 24 1735/6.

    (2) William BARTLETT (c1647- 1727) Yeoman of Fordington. Overseers of the Poor Accounts for St Georges Church have survived from 1725 and show William present at Vestry meetings when passing the accounts for relief of the poor. In 1726 William was paying 1s. 8d towards the Parish Rates an amount which was billed to Widdow BARTLETT (i.e.Margaret) after his death in 1727.

    William was buried at FStG 8th May 1727 and left a Will dated 15th Apr 1727 . Probate was granted to his executor and nephew John Amey Junior of West Stafford on 7th Jun 1727. Unusually William in his will leaves his wife 1 shilling (a legal ploy used where someone might normally be expected to benefit from the Will, to show she was properly considered, and making his intentions clear) and then left everything to his nephew. Probably also implies they were estranged and that there were no living children of their own. Margaret BARTLETT (Bur.1732/3) described as his widow was buried at FStG on 10th Feb 1732/3.

    (3) Elizabeth BARTLETT (1649-1739) Spinster of Fordington Buried FStG 2nd Sep 1738 aged 89 years. Left a Will dated 21st Oct 1735 Probate granted on 5th July 1739 to her executor William AMEY son of Mary AMEY her neice.

[Note:- See Hunt Family History. I can trace no children from this marriage. Ambrose was 55 so this was probably his 2nd marriage, the first being during the turmoil following the Civil War when records are missing from 1640 to 1663. I think he had children by his 1st wife the eldest son being called Ambrose after him. I suspect Eleanor was past child bearing age. Ambrose senior listed here was buried at FStG on 21st March 1680/1 and an inventory of his goods etc taken the day before. A Letter of Administration for his estate was granted to his widow Eleanor HUNT on 6th June 1681.

MARRIAGE BANNS:- No. 23 Banns between David CASHER of the parish of Monkton & Jane WILLIAMS of the parish of Cerne Abbas inhabitants of this parish -

MARRIAGE:- David CASHER Labourer of the parish of [Winterborne] Monkton and Jane WILLIAMS spinster of the parish of Cerne Abbas a soujourner were married in this Church by Banns this sixteenth day of June in the year 1766 by me Rev. W Morland Minster his signature her mark witnesses John Vivian & Mark Dowland

[Note:- Mr Roy Bowden a descendant advises that David CASHER (1732-1795) was christened 1st May 1732 at Winterbourne Monkton the eldest child of John and Ann CASHER.[ Link to background notes about this family given on his brother Edward's marriage record.] David had previously married at Winterbourne Monkton on 1st Aug 1757 to a Phebe [Phoebe] nee NOTTING (baptised 17 Feb 1733 at Winterbourne Kingston ) . On 28th July 1758 however David Casher, recorded as a labourer, was selected by ballot to serve in the Militia for the parish of Winterbourne Monkton (image on ancestry.com). Having just married he appears to have tried to avoid this obligation by promising to provide a legal substitute to serve in his stead. It took some time for the authorioties to catch up with him, possibly because at the 19th Dec 1859 meeting a number of militia lists had still not been submitted by parish tything men and parish constables were ordered to ensure they did so. It was not until the meeting held at the Antelope Inn in Dorchester on 26th Sep 1761 that David CASHER's name again appears when he is given one final opportunity to provide a substitute or face a fine of £10. No other records exist referring to this matter. They had no children before Phoebe Casher was buried at Winterbourne Kingston on 25th June 1765. The above entry records David CASHER's 2nd Marriage to Jane WILLIAMS who was born circa 1736 at Cerne Abbas.

On the 23rd August 1766 however a Betty [Elizabeth] MOORES a single woman from the parish of Sherborne appeared before one of the Justices of Peace and stated on oath that she was with child, and that the father was David CASHER of Dorchester, a bastardy order was issued for his apprehension so that he could be brought before the JP to answer the charge. Unfortunately we have not so far been able to locate any other correspondence relating to this issue but Elizabeth MOORES had her illegitimate son James baptised at Sherborne on 21st April 1767. We do not of course know the exact date of birth which typically would have been some weeks or months prior to baptism. It is thought that the father was in fact David Casher of Winterbourne Monkton.

After their marriage David and Jane CASHER are known to have lived initially at Owermoigne, but by July 1767 were living at Fordington. They had the following children:-
(1) David CASHER Junior bap Owermoigne 29th Mar 1767 and buried St Georges Church Fordington 26th July 1776?
(2) Mary CASHER buried St Georges Church Fordington 21st April 1771
(3) Anne CASHER bap St Georges Church Fordington 25th Dec 1770
(4) John CASHER bap St Georges Church Fordington 26th July 1776 and buried there 11th July 1791 ]
(?) Edward CASHER (1778-1829) Fordington. Thought to be a 5th child from the marriage follow link for background

MARRIAGE: John HAYNE and Elizabeth : Despite an extensive search I have not so far identified a suitable marriage all we know about his bride comes from the baptisms of her children which give her name as Elizabeth.

[The nearest marriage that I can locate is a marriage on 26th Nov 1807 by a John HAYNE Esq a bachelor of the parish of St Faith in London in St Marys church at Lambeth to Elizabeth PRYCE of St Marys a spinster both their signatures but there is no clear evidence that John Hayne was actually from Dorchester/Fordington although he was a merchant and he married his 2nd wife also Elizabeth in London.

    John HAYNE (1779-1868) was the son of Samuel HAYNE (1749-1813) of the parish of Holy Trinity in Dorchester by his wife Rebecca TILLY who married by licence at Holy Trinity Church on 28-Jan 1773. The 1851 and 1861 census returns state that John was born at Frome Whitefield, a hamlet within Holy Trinity Parish, but he was not baptised until 11 Apr 1782 at Holy Trinity together with his younger sister Alicia. John Hayne was a separate beneficiary under his grandfather John HAYNE's Will dated 1797 in which he inherited lands and tenements in Fordington when he reached the age of 23 (i.e. in 1802).

    He clearly used his inheritance to start his own grocery business in Dorchester being admitted into the Company of Freemen on 27th June 1803. John and Elizabeth had 4 children as listed below all baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington between 1809 and 1817 but he is listed in 1830 in Pigots Street Directory as having his grocers shop at Cornhill in Dorchester, where he also sold wines and spirits.

    His 1st wife Elizabeth died sometime after the birth of their 4th child in 1817 and 1837 when John Haynes of Fordington entered into a Marriage Settlement and remarried as a widower at the parish church at St Marylebone London on 22nd Sep 1837 to Elizabeth BAYLY a widow, the daughter of Robert WHITE a Gentleman. A copy of their marriage settlement his held at Somerset Heritage centre Ref DD\X\DST/8/4 - Note:- Find a Grave Website has an Elizabeth Hayne as being buried at St Peter and St Paul Churchyard Bromley Kent (now part of in Greater London) on 6th Jan 1835 (Memorial ID 113064005 which also has her spouse recorded as a John Hayne which could he her. CLDS Film also records the death of an Elizabeth Hayne aged 63 (born c1772) on 12th Jan 1835 at Bromley Kent which looks like being the same person but there is no direct evidence linking the two - circumstatial - contemporary age with John Hayne and we know he was in London a lot.]

    Roberts Street Directory of Dorchester dated 1839 shows that John has moved his grocery shop and wine and spirit business to Fordington, and added 'tallow chandler' as a side line. The June 1841 Census refers to John Hayne of King Street Fordington as a 'Wholesale Grocer & Soap boiler as well as a Farmer of 350 acres employing 20 men and boys. Their location can most easily be seen on the 1886 Map of Fordington referred to as 'Fordington House' . Fordington Farm is part of the Fordington House complex of buildings and across the road near the Railway is (by 1886) a soap works. From 1861 we have confirmation that John Haynes his wife and children are actually living in Fordington House in King Street together with his spinster sister Elizabeth.

14 Dec 1807 MARRIAGE:- John BEAVIS of the parish of Fordington & Mary WHITE otp were married in this church by Banns married 14 Dec 1807 by me Rev. William Davis Minister his signature her mark witnesses Mary Bradley and James Knell?
    [Note:- John BEAVIS (1781-1825) was baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 12th Aug 1781 the son of John BEAVIS (1757-1813) and Sarah MATTHEWS. According to his 2nd son Samuel's baptism record in 1814 he was then a private soldier in the 39th Regiment of Foot. (As an aside the 39th Regt of Foot was later amalgamated with the 54th in 1881 to become The Dorsetshire Regiment). It would appear that after marriage he was stationed on Guernsey for a time where their first child Robert was born. This family has been well researched in several family trees on Ancestry.com with many important supporting documents located. My understanding of this research is abbreviated below supported by any additional information available from this site which will have been cross indexed from individual files. John BEAVIS was buried at FStG on 5th Oct 1825 aged 45 years. It is clear that before 1839 his widow Mary had moved the family to live in Bedminster where their son George had married in Dec 1837. When their son Samuel emigrated to Australia in 1854 he states that his mother (i.e. Mary BEAVIS nee WHITE ) was resident at Bedminster in Somerset. I have not located official records but "Mary WHITE the wife of John BEAVIS of 19 Sargent Street in Bedminster is said to have died aged 85 on 9th April 1870 from old age and bronchitis but no source is quoted. There is however a Mary DAVIS [BEAVIS?] widow living at No 18 Sargent Street in the 1861 Census aged 75 [abt right] who is recorded as being in receipt of parochial relief and born at Searn [Cerne Abbas often just recorded as 'Cerne'] in Dorset where she married which looks like her. Children from this marriage:-

      (1) Robert Beavis (1809-1883) He is said to have been born on 17th April 1809 on the island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands whilst his father was serving there. This is supported by an image of the local garrison baptism register for 1809 which records his baptism on 7th May the son of John & Mary BEAVIS. Clearly they had returned initially to Melcombe Regis but settled in Fordington by 1816 where Robert grew up. Aged 20 he was arrested for sheep stealing and sent to Dorchester Prison where he was admitted on 21st Oct 1829. He was tried at Dorchester Assizes on 12th March 1830, found guilty and initially sentenced to death. This was commuted to Transportation to Australia for Life. He was then committed to the Prison Hulk HMS Captivity which was at that time moored at Devonport. HMS Captisity had started life as HMS Monmouth and been launched in 1772 as a third rate ship of the line carrying 64 guns. Having served in a number of campaigns she was eventually brought back to England at the conclusion of the American War of Independence and paid off in July 1784. She returned to service on 20th Oct 1796 renamed as HMS Captivity and fitted out as a prison ship eventually becoming a prison hulk. Plans for a ship of this class survive at the Royal Museum Greenwhich and give a good, if faint, idea of the type of Prison Hulk he entered (see image below) .

      Prison Hulk HMS Captivity 1772


      Robert BEAVIS boarded the Prison Ship 'Burrell' on 22nd July 1830 and arrived in New South Wales on 31st Dec 1830. On 18th Feb 1839 following good conduct he was given leave from the Prison Colony and soon married Elizabeth MacKenzie at Port Macquarie on 22nd April 1840. They raised a large family in Australia with Robert living to be 74 before he passed away at Paddington in New South Wales.

      (2) Samuel Beavis (1814-1863) He was baptised at Melcombe Regis on 9th October 1814 his parents abode given as Weymouth. This was because Weymouth was then much smaller than Melcombe Regis and did not have it's own church until 1830. The vast majority of marriages therefore took place at Melcombe Regis or Wyke Regis. His fathers occupation is given as a Soldier, a Private in the 39th Regiment of Foot. The year after he was born the family moved to Fordington where he grew up with his siblings. He married at St John's Church in Bedminster Somerset on 14th Jan 1839 to Eliza GILL Follow link for more information about their family. Samuel was a witness at his younger sister Ann BEAVIS wedding to Henry FOWLER at St John's Church in Bedminster on 9th March 1841. Samuel and Eliza along with his step daughter Eliza Gill and daugther Sarah Ann Beavis emigrated to New South Wales in Australia on board the Ship 'Tantivity' on 3rd Sep 1854. Samuel died at the age of 49 on 6th Dec 1863 at Sydney in Australia. Eliza lived to 62 and died at Huyde Park Asylum in Sydney on 5th June 1880.

      (3) John Beavis (1816-1904) He was baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 9th June 1816. He married on 25th June 1838 at FStG Church to Marianne JOSLYN (1820-1893) the daughter of a chimney sweep John JOSLYN and his wife Ann, and she had been baptised at FStG Church on 3rd Feb 1820 as Mary Ann JOSLING. Mary Ann died in 1893 and John BEAVIS at 33 Woodborough Street in Bristol on 25th March 1904. His body was returned to St Georges Church in Fordington where he was buried aged 87 on 30th April 1904. Follow link for more information about his life and family.

      (4) George Beavis (1818-1885)
      George BEAVIS 1818-1885He was baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 24th Mar 1818 and lived with his parents in Fordington until after his father's death in 1825. By the early 1830's he moved with his mother and siblings to live in Bedminster where he married Eliza KINGDON (1819-1878) at St John's Church on 24th Dec 1837. As such he was just under age and therefore recorded on the marriage certificate as a Minor and would have required Mary's permission to marry. Eliza was the daughter of a cordwainer by trade Christopher KINGDON and his wife Sarah and had been baptised at The Temple in Bristol on 10th June 1821 when she was already 2 years old. She was therefore only 18 years old at Marriage and also recorded as a minor.

      In June 1841 they were living in Mitchell Lane in Bristol's Temple district, George a Labourer. By 1851 they had moved to 40 Wellington St in Bedminster where George had a job working as a packer at a Packet Office. Bristol was an important shipbuilding port and had a thriving packet trade between Bristol and Ireland often using paddle steamers such as the Albion built in 1831. By 1861 they had moved locally to Colson Street and George is now described as a Steam Packet Porter. By 1871 George was doing well as he had become a Shipping Agent and had been able to move to St Mary's Parish in Redcliffe in Bristol.

      His wife Eliza died aged 59 during the 2nd qtr of 1878 in Bedminster. George BEAVIS also died at Bedminster aged of 67 during the 4th qtr of 1885.

      (5) Ann Beavis (1820-aft 1901) bap FStG 26th Mar 1820. After her fathers death like her siblings she moved with her mother to live in Bedminster where she married at St John's church in Bedminster on 9th March 1841 to Henry FOWLER (1816-1887) a native of Beccles in Suffolk and the son of John FOWLER Father and son were both Cordwainers by trade. Her elder brother Samuel BEAVIS was also a witness at their wedding. They continued to live in Bedminster raising a large family with Henry FOWLER passing away at the age of 70 in Bedminster during 2nd qtr 1887. After his death his widow Ann Fowler nee Beavis went to live for a time with her married daughter Elizabeth Ann CROSSMAN nee Fowler who had married William Henry CROSSMAN at St Johns church in Bedminster on 12th Dec 1880. She is with them in the 1891 Census living at 77 Philip St in Bedminster. By the 1901 Census she is 81 and moved just down the road to live at number 55. I have not located her death or burial.

      (6) Sarah Caroline Beavis (1822-1910)
      Sarah Caroline BEAVIS 1822-1910She was baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 7th Mar 1822. The 1841 Census suggests that she moved to live in London residing at Baldwins Gardens in St Andrews Holborn where she is recorded as Sarah BEVIS in the age band 20 to 24, of independent means and not born in Middlesex.

      Sarah Caroline married to a waiter Walter SMITH at St Mary's church in Newington but simply as Sarah BEAVIS. She already had settlement in the parish living in Francis Street with Walter. Banns of marriage were read at St Mary's on 26th Feb and 6th and 19th March 1843 but the Banns register for this period at St Georges Church in Fordington has not survived. They raised a family of 4 children between 1844 and 1856.

      Initially after marriage they lived in Bedminster with her mother and they had 3 children born there before in 1851 living at Letfords Buildings in Week in Hampshire for a short time before staying at 8 Danvers St in Chelsea where their 4th child Matila Annie Smith was born in 1856. By 1861 they had returned to Bedminster Walter now working as a butcher and for the first time she is recorded as Sarah C. Smith although her previously stated birthplace of Fordington has become Dorchester. By 1871 Sarah Caroline and Walter seem to have separated and gone their seperate ways but do not appear to have divorced. Sarah remained in Bedminster for many years and died in the district of Bristol aged 88 during the 3rd qtr of 1910. (GRO 6a/62).

      (7) Jacob Beavis (1823-1885) He was baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 16 Sep 1823 and moved with his mother and siblings to live in Bedminster. He is in the 1841 Census resident in King Street with his bothers John and James Beavis. He emigrated to New South Wales Australia to be with his elder brother Robert and set sail on the ship "Nelore" out of Bristol on 25th Aug 1853. She was a ship of just over 484 tons carring 242 passengers and bound for Port Philip Sydney Australia. Jacob and his brother Robert are recorded in the Electoral Register for 1859-1862 for Central Cumberland Field of Mars Sydney. Jacob was buried at Rockwood Cemetery Sydney Australia on 27th Oct 1885.

      (8) James Beavis (1825-1891) He was baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 13 Sep 1825 and moved with his mother and siblings to live in Bedminster. He is in the 1841 Census resident in King Street with his bothers John and Jacob Beavis.

15 May 1833 MARRIAGE BANNS:- between Joseph SEALE of the parish of Fordington & Maria LANGITON of vthis parish were published in this parish (Winterborne Monkton) on Sindays 28th April ; 5th of May and 12th May 1833

MARRIAGE:- Entry 20 Joseph SEAL a bachelor of the parish of Fordington and Maria LANGDON otp were married in this church by Banns this 15 day of May in the year 1833 both their marks in the presence of William Lake and John Langdon. See also Fordington Banns Register: Banns read 28th Apr; 5th and 12th May 1833
    [Note:- After marriage Joseph SEAL (d.1878) and Maria nee LANGDON (1814-1853) settled in Fordington to live in Mill Street, Joseph working as a carrier and later as a shepherd. In the 1851 Census he gave his birth place as Muston in Dorset (c1807). This could be Winterborne Muston a village in the parish of Winterborne Kingston but not consistent with later information. The same census refers to Maria Langdon as born in Cattistock c1816. Maria SEAL nee Langdon was buried at FStG Church on 14th April 1853 when her age was given as being 39 (c1814). She is probably therefore the Maria LANGDON daughter of John and Sarah Langdon baptised at Sherborne on 5th April 1814. In the 1861 Census Joseph, still living in Mill St Fordington, gives his age as 52 (c1809) and place of birth place as East Caupton? [East Compton?] in Dorset but in the 1871 Census he is aged 65 (c1806) and says he was born in Fordington which is not correct. I have not researched his origin any further. Joseph SEAL was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 9th March 1878 when his age was given as being 68 (c.1810). Children from this marriage :-

    1. James Seal (1833-1834) bap FStG Church 28th Nov 1833 and buried there aged 1 year 5th Aug 1834

    2. Joanna Seal (1835-aft.1852) bap FStG Church 5th Apr 1835 C41 age 6; C51 age 16 Ag Lab unmarried; Joanna married at FStG Church on 23rd Aug 1852 to Robert William Miller. Robert was a labourer on the railways and in 1861 they are living at Ringwood in Hampshire with 3 children.

    3. William Seal (1837-1859) no trace of baptism or GRO Registration. C41 age 4; C51 age 14 errand boy born Fordington; Likely to be the William Seal from Mill Street who was buried at FStG Church 18th Mar 1859 when his age was given as being 18?

    4. Josiah Seal (1839-1905) bap FStG Church 4th May 1841; erroneously recorded as Joseph aged 1 in June 1841 Census with siblings. C51 again recorded as Joseph Seal age 12. He enlisted into the Navy on 11 Dec 1854 for 10 years serving initially on HMS Victory and giving his date & place of birth as 15th Nov 1839 at Fordington. Interestingly HMS Victory was long past her best having been towed into dry dock at Portsmouth in 1822 and orders issued by the Admiralty for her to be broken up in 1831. A public outcry saved her and public interest was generated by two visits by Princess Victoria the first in 1833 to meet veterans of the Trafalgar Campaign and another as Queen in 1844. Visiter numbers increased from 10,000 pa to 22,000 pa. In late April 1854 Victory sprang a leak and sank. All on board were rescued and the ship subseqently raised. 8 months later Josiah arrived. John married aged 23 recorded as a seaman to Caroline Cox from Tincleton at FStG Church on 12th Aug 1863. Follow link for more information about his family.

    5. Jane Seal (1843-aft.1860) no trace of baptism. GRO Birth Dorchester District 1843 1st qtr Ref 8/64. C51 age 9; Jane married aged 18 years at FStG Church on 29th June 1860 to John Davis a labourer the son of John Davis.

[Note:- Not the Isaac Seal aged 25 [1843] that died at the Lunatic Asylum in Charminster and said to be from Upwey. He was the son of William and Elizabeth Seal of Upwey bap there 27th Nov 1842]

    7. Sarah Ellen Seal (1849-aft.1872 ) bap FStG Church 10th May 1849. C51 age 2; Sarah aged 12 is in the 1861 census in Ringwood Hampshire visiting her married sister Joanna. Sarah married on 4th June 1872 aged 23 to John Wills at FStG Church.

    [Note:- Joseph BARTLETT (1805-1877) He was baptised on 29th June 1806 when he was a year old at St Georges Church in Fordington the 4th child from the marriage of John BARTLETT to Ann MASTERS at St Georges Church in Fordington on 27th Feb 1798. Hannah was the daughter of Henry & Elizabeth COZENS and had been baptised at Radipole in Dorset on 10th Feb 1810. He inherited his fathers building business when he died in 1836 but his grandfather had been a Baker by trade. In the C1841 they are living at Fordington Cross, Joseph described himself as a Builder and Baker aged 36 with his wife Hannah aged 30. His father was a bricklayer which his where he gained his building experience but he clearly started his own baking business in Fordington as his name appears in Roberts Trade Directory for the year 1839 described as a Baker & Grocer. He is also in Pigotts Trade Directory of 1844 and Slater's Directory of 1852. A Master Baker by the time of the 1851 Census he was employing 2 men in his business, Joseph was aged 45 and born in Fordington; Hannah a native of Radipole was aged 40 and she is actually running the grocers shop there as well. Still at Fordington Cross in 1861 Census Joseph 55 ; Hannah 50 and their son Joseph Masters Bartlett aged 18 is suprisingly listed as a scholar whereas by the time of Harrods Street Directory issued in 1865 he has taken over running the family business. The 1871 Census still shows Joseph aged 65 and Hannah 60. Joseph BARTLETT was buried at St Georges Church Fordington on 20th Feb 1877 aged 71 years. Hannah in the 1881 Census is living as a lodger with Edward George Bartlett and his family a widow aged 70. Hannah BARTLETT nee COSSENS (1811-1890) was buried at FStG on 25th Feb 1890 aged 79.

    [Note:- Samuel BEAVIS (1814-1863) was the 2nd child from the marriage of John BEAVIS (1781-1825) to Mary WHITE at Cerne Abbas on 14th Dec 1807 and was born in Weymouth in 1814. The year after he was born the family moved to Fordington where he grew up with his siblings. Samuel and Eliza are in the June 1841 Census living at Redcliff Hill in Bristol, Samuel recorded in the 25 to 29 age band and Eliza 20 to 24. His occupation is given as a Porter. Samuel was a witness at his younger sister Ann BEAVIS wedding to Henry FOWLER at St John's Church in Bedminster on 9th March 1841. By 1851 they had also moved to nearby Bedminster living at 3 Somerset Street. Samuel correctly gives his age as 36, his occupation as that of a Railway Porter but wrongly gives his birth place as Bristol (where he was already living with Eliza Gill when they married in 1839. Eliza had two children as listed below. We know we have the right marriage as when Samuel emigrated 3rd Sep 1854 with Eliza and their 2 children to Australia on the Ship 'Tantivity' in the passenger listing he gives his place of birth as Weymouth, his parents as John and Mary Beavis and his mother (his father having died) residing in Bedminster Bristol, and having two brothers Robert and Jacob already resident in Australia at Parramatta near Sydney in Australia. Samuel died at the age of 49 on 6th Dec 1863 at Sydney in Australia. Eliza lived to 62 and died at Huyde Park Asylum in Sydney on 5th June 1880.

    Children: -
    (1) Eliza Gill (1837-1886) On family trees her birth is given as being 25th June 1837 which pre dates the start of GRO Registrations by 6 days and the above marriage by 19 months. Like her sibling she was baptised at St Marys Redcliffe in Bristol on 25th June 1837, but as Eliza the daughter of William and Eliza GILL. William is said to be a carpenter. On the Passenger Lists for the 'Tantivity' however she is stated 'to be the daughter of Thomas GILL dead and mother on board'.. After her mothers 2nd marriage she was referred to as Eliza Beavis. She emigrated with her mother, stepfather and step sister to Australia in 1854, married raised a family and died in Jan 1886 in Sydney

    (2) Sarah Ann Beavis (1841-1886) born at Bristol 15th Nov 1841 and baptised at St Marys Church Redcliffe in Bristol on 26th Dec 1841.
    She emigrated with her parents and step sister to Australia in 1854. She married William Henry RUSSELL (1832-1880) in Sydney Australia on 8th June 1858, raised a family of 13 children with him before he died. She remarried to James Poland Doolley in Redfern New South Wales 3rd Dec 1881 and had one more child. She died of Typhoid on 28th June 1886 and was buried at Sydney.

George Maxwell Officiating Minister Both their Marks in the presence of James Bartlett and Fanny Watts

    [Note:-Alfred AMOR (1823-1891) was the 4th child from the marriage of a cooper by trade - Richard AMOR (1781-1857) to Anna [Hannah] RENDALL nee CASE (1793-1858) on 1st Oct 1818 at Bridport in Dorset. Alfred was born in Holy Trinity Parish in Dorchester on the 26th June 1823 and baptised at the Presbyterian Chapel in Pease Lane Dorchester on 24th Oct 1823;

    Mary BARTLETT (1819-1851) was baptised at Winterborne St Martin Dorset on 7th Feb 1819 the 3rd of 10 children of John & Sarah BARTLETT, her fathers occupation again being given as that of a Shepherd. Her parents recorded as "John BARTLETT of the parish of Winterbourne St Martin and Sarah CHURCHILL of this parish"had married at Winterbourne Monkton in Dorset on 16th July 1816. They both survived to be in the Winterbourne St Martin 1851 Census when John said he was aged 61 (born 1790) born in the parish and Sarah aged 55 and born at Winterborne Monkton. I am not aware therefore of any association with existing Bartlett families in dorchester or Fordington. In the 1841 Census Mary Bartlett is working as a Servant for the brewer Charles Eldridge and his family and living in Durngate Street Dorchester which is probably how she met Alfred Amor. They had a daughter Emily AMOR who was baptised at Christchurch West Fordington on 29th May 1850. Mary died at the young age of 32 being buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 22nd Jan 1851. After his wife's death Alfred lived with his parents at Grove buildings in Fordington C 1851 with parents aged 28 a widower with their daughter Emily AMOR aged 6 years.

15 Jun 1863 MARRIAGE BANNS: Winterborne Monkton Banns were read between Joseph LAKE anf Fanny CORNISH (both of this parish) on 24th; 31st May and 7th June 1863

MARRIAGE: At the parish church at Monkton Dorset on 15th June 1863 Between Joseph LAKE aged 28 years a bachelor a Labourer resident at Monkton father William LAKE a labourer and Parish Clerk to Fanny CORNISH aged 20 years no occupation resident at Monkton father Samuel Cornsh a shoemaker were married in this church by me Rev Edward Ludlow Vicar both their signatures witnesses James Lake and Elizabeth Jane Lake

[Note:- Joseph LAKE (1835-1879?) was baptised at Winterborne Monkton on 1st March 1835 the son of William LAKE (1794-1875) and Elizabeth nee FRAMPTON (1796-1862). Fanny CORNISH [CORNICK] (1845-1926) was baptised at Maiden Newton in Dorset on 25th March 1845 the daughter of Samuel CORNICK a master shoemaker by trade and his wife Hannah. In 1851 Fanny Cornick aged 9 is with her widowed father Samuel and siblings Richard, Elizabeth and Solomon at Claremont in Maiden Newton. By 1861 aged 20 Fanny again recorded as Cornick is working in West Fordington at 14 Grove Buildings as a general Servant.

After marriage they settled to live in Fordington in 'Mill Street' Joseph working as an agricultural labourer and raised a family of 7 children the last born in 1876. They arrived only 9 years after the deadly Cholera outbreak there during 1854. Joseph however had died before 1881 as Fanny is then recorded as a widow and had moved to live nearby in 'Cuckholds Row' in Fordington giving her age as 37. I can find no burial for Joseph at Fordington or at the civic cemetery and the only possible death registration at the GRO is for a Joe LAKE in the Dorchester District during the 1st qtr 1879 (It would be necessary to obtain the certificate to be sure this was him - GRO Ref 5a/271). On 20th Jan 1889 Fanny calling herself Frances had her two youngest children baptised at St Georges Church when she gave her abode as being Shorts Lane in Fordington. Fanny is back in 'Mill Street' by 1891 aged 48; In 1901 living at No. 73 'Mill Street' Fordington (not All Saints Parish as recorded on ancestry.) a widow aged 57 and slightly deaf; In 1911 Fanny LAKE a widow is a boarder in lodgings at 4 Priory Villas in Parkstone aged 67 her birthplace was entered as Dorchester but crossed out and Bridport entered. Her correct birthplace of Maiden Newton was half way between the two. Fanny died at the age of 83 during 4th qtr 1926 (5a/260 (not 250). Children from this marriage:-
    (1) Solomon Lake (1864-1926)
    SolomonLake1864 Baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 28th Aug 1864 he grew up with his siblings in Mill Street. On 13th Feb 1874 aged 9 years Solomon Lake, described as a school boy of Fordington, was caught stealing a loaf of bread and his prison admission record gives a description: being 4 foot 2½ tall, brown hair; dark grey eyes, fair complexion. It simply records that 'further examination' of his case was necessary. This was often because it was necessary to call a witness to come before the court for the defence. As there is no subsequent discharge record its possible the case was dismissed.

    He joined the Militia and is resident in 1881 at West Fordington Depot Barrcks aged 16 and recorded as being born at Dorchester. Unfortunately very few Militia records survive. He married Elizabeth MILLS (1874-1947) the daughter of a labourer and mason by trade called Henry MILLS at St Georges Church in Fordington on 13th Jan 1895. Elizabeth had been baptised at Winterborne St Martin on 12th Aug 1874 the daughter of Henry Bartlett MILLS by his wife Susan Ann nee BOWRING. The 1911 census records that they had seven children, 5 of which were still at 10 Hillside Cottages in Fordington in 1911. Electoral Registers show that they were living at 20 Fordington Hill by 1914 but their daughter Alice married on 23rd Aug 1915 by which time they were resident at 8 Duchy Cottages in Alington Road and Solomon Lake is referred to as being a Private Soldier in the 3rd Dorset Regiment.

    It's also clear that he served during the First World War as Soldier 11658 a Private in the Dorset Regt. Unfortunately only his pension index card seems to have survived confirming his birth c1864. An Invalided Soldiers Pension started on 6th April 1920 when his address was 8 Duchy Cottages Allington Rd Dorchester. Solomon LAKE died on 11th Feb 1926 at 29 Arlington Road when his age is registered as being 61. He was buried at St Georges Church in Fordington 4 days later on the 15th of the same month.. Elizabeth recorded as a widow is in the 29th Sep 1939 War Census living at 29 Alington Road. She died there at the age of 72 being buried at St Georges Church on 8th Jan 1947.

After marriage they returned to Fordington where a son Herbert George Lake was baptised at St George Church on 20th Aug 1899; a daughter Ada Constance Sybil Lake bap 30th Dec 1900.

[Note:- First: James Surname is regularly spelt differently in documentation making the location of records difficult. [Variations located are:- Boobyer; Bubeer; Buber; Bubber, Bubear; Bubier; Bubyer. The best original spelling is BUBEER later becoming BUBIER]

James BUBEER (1848-1893) was the son of Henry BUBEER a native of Tiverton in Devon by his wife Elizabeth from Up Ottery in Devon. Ann Wellman ROBERTS (1844-1931) was the illegitimate daughter of Bethia ROBERTS and baptised at Sydling St Nicholas on 24th March 1844. [Note:- Wellman may well have been the surname of the father]. After marriage James and Ann settled to live in Fordington living at Millers Close with James working as a Grocer's Porter. In the 1871 Census James younger brother Samuel BUBEER aged 16 a carter on a farm was also living with them; James died at the relatively young age of 50 being buried at St Georges Church in Fordington on 28th Feb 1893. Ann remarried during the 3rd qtr 1898 to William Alfred Rudd. Ann RUDD nee Roberts died aged 87 on 18th May 1931 and was buried at the civic cemetery in Dorchester. Children:-

I cannot locate a baptism [although strangely there is one back at Sydling St Nicholas for a Henry Francis the son of James and Ann BUBEAR on 1st Sep 1872 where their place of residence is given as Dorchester! ]. In Census returns for 1881 and 1891 he is with his family simply recorded as Frank. He enlisted at Dorchester Barracks into the Army as Frank BUBIER on 30th June 1891 and is recorded as Soldier 3245 being posted after induction on 2nd July. In 1901 aged 29 he is still living at No. 5 Millers Close with his widowed mother Ann RUDD (who has remarried).
