Fordington

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.

Mary Daughter of Machias BRINE & Barshaba [Bathsheba] his wife May 9 (PR)

[Note:- I cannot trace a family with the surname Wellstome in Fordington, or anywhere else in Dorset for that matter, so have to assume that it is an incorrect spelling of the surname. It occurs once more in Fordington parish records which is the burial of a 'Jane Wellsrome' on the 8th Jan 1764, and I believe this to be the burial of Elizabeth's younger sister baptised Jane WELLSPRING on 2nd July 1762. Assuming 'Wellspring' to be the correct family surname makes Elizabeth's baptism here to be the first of 12 children of James Wellspring from Stinsford and Elizabeth Lester who married in Fordington on 3rd Feb 1757. More detailed information about this family is given against thier marriage and can be accessed via this link]

The removal order itself states that she has 'lately intruded herself into the parish' and if not 'timely prevented likely to become chargeable on the parish'. Clearly they became aware of her pregnacy and immediately sought the removal order as 5 months later she gave birth to her son James SPARKS.

See Extract right taken from the Quarter Sessions held at Sherborne on Tuesday 4th April 1758 - also transcribed below]

The Churchwardens and Overseers of Forthington and James PHILLIPS

[New page BT's - Note no heading to indicate the year of this composite return - clearly filmed out of sequence as dates between images 17 and 19 run consecutively - The National Burial Index has the burials on this page listed as 1764 and as these were transcribed from the original registers not the Bishops Transcripts is more likely to be correct. There is also a gap in the baptisms and burials for 1764 into which these entries fit neatly. Also see comments on burial of Caleb Clothey [Clothyer] which shows marriage and baptism after 1761 - I have therefore moved all these entries to 1764 but left a copy of them indented below so that people viewing the Bishops Transcripts have an explanation]
