Rear entrance to burial ground of St George's Church Fordington
Grave of Rev Henry Moule near the gate

Notes:- The original Parish Registers (PR) for this period exist in the Dorset Registry Office & there are some transcription errors between those records and the Bishops Transcripts transcribed here which were done in some cases several years later. Some names are also spelt differently between the registers and in a few cases more information has been given in the Bishops Transcripts than originally recorded In the early years the BT records are badly damaged and difficult to read and in some areas the Parish Registers are badly faded with some entries illegible. Both the original and Bishops Transcripts are composite returns with the left side containing a column stating whether the entry was a baptism, marriage or burial. In many cases the edge has been damaged or disappeared. It is only by viewing both returns and checking back to marriage names that it has been possible to end up with what is now a complete record.

They had a habit of renaming the children who had died in infancy. eg they had a son Charles bap 8th Feb 1748/9 who was buried 14th July 1749. They renamed the next child born Charles.
