The Dorset History Centre has an old, hand-written document (ref: PE/WOR/IN 4/1) which is undated and obliterated in part by a large splodge of ink. If anyone reading it recognises an ancestor and has any suggestions as to possible date, I would be pleased to hear from them!
The crosses would appear to indicate attendance; spellings of names are far from consistent and surnames are not the only means of identification.
