Hello John, Joyce and Michael,
Michael was right on this count, James and Louisa by 1891 were at
Wynford Eagle, Dorset. I remember going through this family last year
when I was posting the Dorset 1891 census to the list.
The other children are:
Charity aged 9
Charles aged 7
Anthony aged 5
Martha aged 1
All these were born at Wynford Eagle.
is this what you wanted John ? The message you sent was'nt clear. Let me
know what else you want.
Michael who was the other couple that you were talking about in the
earlier posting ?
Regards,
Sean

Hi Sean,
Not my line but supposedly ties in to Odcombe so interests me.
This was an E-mail to the list:
Its now some 20 months since I sent you my enquiry. I avidly check all
the CHANT news and exchanges but so far no luck with my family. Any
suggestions as to how I can move this on.?
Many thanks
Joyce

O.K. I had that James married otherwise but don't know who gave it to
me. I do have a family for James and Louisa attributed to the 1891
census though. The new children were born Wynford Eagle. Have I got two
families mixed please?
Other children:
Charity, Charles, Frederick and Martha.
Thanks,
John
