Hello, what a wonderful informative read i have had this afternoon, lots of years of hard work im sure. Just to let you know why i felt i had to have a read, i see you have Balch in your lists of interested family names. My grandmother was a balch born 1904 in monmouthshire, i decided to follow this line back and the family come from Batcombe and brewham in somerset, they also seem to go to cardiff and swansea in wales.
I have managed to get to 1811 with Samuel Balch who married Jane in Somerset and for me that were i have stopped, having trouble finding his parents.Im sure i will find they at some point, i enjoyed your site enornously.
Regards
Helen

My maternal great-grandmother Sarah Dewland was born in January 1834 in Long Crichel. She was the daughter of Charles Dewland, who is listed in censuses as an agricultural laborer, and then, in 1861, as âformerly carterâ (b. Hinton Martell, ca. 1805âd. 1851/61, the son of James Dewland of Hinton Martell, d. January 29, 1817), and Jane Wheeler (b. Long Crichel ca. 1810âd. 1881/91), listed in the 1861 census as an agricultural laborer. In January 1862, Sarah and her husband, George Martin Bailey (whose place of birth I have not identified), sailed with their three children as assisted immigrants to South Africa on the wooden ship John Vanner. According to the shipâs manifest, a âMr. Cole, Newlandsâ expected them, and I have supposed this to have been Eldred Mowbray Cole, the Cape Colonyâs auditor-general, who lived in Newlands at that time (it was a very small place and no other Coles are listed). Eldred Cole was a cousin of Prime Minister Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th earl of Derby. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows anything about any of these people!

Love your site, what a wonderful way to spend a Sunday evening. My mother and her sisters were the last in their line to have the surname Beckenham(Beckingham), as there were no brothers. Francis Beckingham and Ellen Coomber were my g g grandparents.
thankyou, Yvette

I visited Kinson on my last trip across the pond. My grandparents lived there for awhile and many of my aunts and uncles were
christened or baptised ( whatever ) at St. Andrews parish. I have a photo of them taken at West Howe Rd. Interesting read about
the village. Very cool place...Love your sites...Karen

Hi,
Great Site.
My 3x Great Grandmother was a Jane Cole born about 1800, possibly in Canford / Poole, she Married John Saunders, born in Longfleet 1789. I wonder if Jane is connected to your Cole Family ?
Two of my Great Aunts lived on Ringwood Rd, Newtown, they lived next door to one another in two large double fronted houses, at one time I think there was quite alot of land with the houses. One Aunt married a Travers then a Brackstone the other Married a Brown.
My Grandmother Ellen Saunders was reputed to have looked after two of Augustus John's Children, Vivian and Poppet. There has always been talk in the family of possible Gypsy Ancestry, certainly some of the names linked to the Saunders suggest this.
I have very fond memories of the area, I was born in Parkstone and attended Sylvan Rd School and both the old and new Branksome Heath Schools.
Regards,
Ellen.
