Hello Uplyme. My GGGF was William Hore born 1800 in Uplyme~ of William Hore and Elizabeth. Would love to correspond with anyone who can tell me of the history of Uplyme in that time. Is there a local history buff anywhere around? I was born in London but now I'm in Texas~ otherwise I'd be there in a minute to have a cup of tea and a chat. I'll be watching and hoping for a reply. Kind regards. Marina

I now learn my Grandfather John Govier was born at Templemans Ash~ Whitchurch **near Bridport Dorset-23rd Feb 1853**to mother Charlotte Louisa Govier formerly Woodland## and father Simeon Govier- **all of whom are burried near Bury~ Lancashire.****I am puzzled - Why would Simeon & Louisa~ along with several sons~ & at least **three daughters~ and other family members~ all come & settle in Lancashire in **the late 1880's. The menfolk took work as carters~ farmhands etc## and most of **them married here and had large families. Some of the women worked in the mills.****I would appreciate any details of Simeon & Louisa's Dorset background. As a **young child I would hear references to place names like Christchurch~ Corfe **Castle~ Bridport~ Whitchurch Canonicorum. Regards - **eddie.govier@tiscali.co.uk Bolton~ Lancs.

• Eddie, the population in rural areas grew quickly because of the Industrial Revolution, Farm work was hard to come by. Young people left their villages in droves searching for employment & some a new life overseas. I have quite a few cousins from Aus, Canada, S.Africa, NZ & US. Their ancestors left England for a better life. Hope that answers your question. Cheers. Hi Geraldine, I am still searching for my elusive OLIVERS! You may remember me from 10 years back. Am living in Indonesia presently so firstly great job done with the OPC, fantastic.I am trying to locate Edward HALLETT baptism, he was a Thatcher his wife was Jane MILLER. Have only seen them on 1861 cenus for Netherbury from my notes taken years back- Edward was 77, Jane 73. Married 1809 Whitchurch Canonicorum. I have some census records from Netherbury but only a few... any plan to get them online? Also anyone researching OLIVERS, GILES,from Dorset & TURLS in Hampshire -I have a lot of info on these Families. Not on compute

• Hi Janet,
  
  I have just come across your post, I know it's a long time ago, but we have been looking for many years and hope that you may be able to fill in some details and that there may be a connection, a long shot I know. My husband's biological father's name was WILLIAM ALFRED PAYNE, he was born in Paddington 11/9/1887 and died at Watford 1974 (we think, but are fairly certain). Is it possible that they are related?
  
  Regards

Shellacre ? What?s does this name mean to the people of Monkton Wyld?**My name is David Leedham and I am descended~ through my maternal family line~ from the name of Shelacre / Shellaker. The name is quite rare and only appears originally in the east Leicestershire / Rutland area~ where I have successfully traced a direct line back around 400 years.**I recently noted the name ?2 Shelacre? in the minutes of the Cher Valley Parish council minutes from 12th January 2004. Can anybody tell me to what this relates? Is it a street name? Or the name of a house?**Can any local historian let me know where this name originated? Is it a local name? I would be very interested & grateful in any response.**Many Thanks**david.leedham@le84.freeserve.co.uk
