Would you like more info on John White's family?? Message me your email and I'll send you what I can find, Kazzie. What was Mary's surname, out of interest?

I would be very grateful for any entries for GALPIN if this is not too much to ask. Very many thanks, Chris

The marriage isnt theres have that as married at Abbotsbury but on their marriage said John White of Portland and knew they went Portland to live Kazzie

Maybe not just seen he was dead by then maybe the Joseph Richard Hollyer Brodby was named after him,this is where gets confusing Kazzie

Thanks Chloe thats brill I often wondered what happened to the Helyer guy as on 1861 Abbotsbury census hes down as Hollier Brodby then disapears so he was a White not a Brodby,can continue search for him now plus shows right ones thanks again Kazzie

Yeah use Dorset o.p.c all the time ,am going to join the Dorset and somerset history group as have the meeting just over rd from me,so will have a look at what they have,I know this is alot to ask as hundreds of them on Portland but am trying to find John and Mary White she was born 1800 Abbotsbury know of two children Mary 1835 and Elizabeth 1840 born Portland also could be more no hurrry for it though Kazzie

I don't know. K.V. Saunders transcribed the records mostly because he has ancestry rooted in Portland (nice imbred lot they were)! I bought if from the Somerset & Dorset Family History Society. This is where I found it - http://www.sdfhs.*org/Pubs.htm Have you tried Dorset OPC? More and more info is being put on that and they have a search facility. There are name indexes sold here - http://www.dorsetcc.*gov.uk/index.jsp?articleid=2853

Thats good Chloe do you know if do other Dorset ones?if so where could get one from my 1851 census is crap Kazzie

I have the Portland Historical Records CD transcribed by K.V. Saunders. It has BMD, some wills, reconstructed families, 1841 census etc for Portland ONLY. Am happy to do look ups on it. It is a fantastic CD, only cost £20! Please be specific as possible and limit any blank surname searches to the bare minimum. NO PERSONAL MESSAGES. THEY WILL BE IGNORED. Chloe
