    Betsey Spicer 1842-1897 [Note:-John SPICER (1841-1925) was the son of David SPICER (c1806-1886) a native of Buckland Newton in Dorset, by his 1st wife Ann nee ROBERTS (1808-1851) who originated from Frampton. By the time of his parents marriage however both had moved their places of settlement, David to Broadwey and Ann to Winterbourne Monkton in Dorset. Banns were read in both parishes on 12th,19th and 26th April before they married in Ann's parish of Winterbourne Monkton on 10th May 1835. John was baptised at Broadway in Dorset on 10th Oct 1841 but his mother died at the age of 43 and was buried at Broadway on 6th Aug 1851. His father re-married to Mary GILLARD during 1st qtr 1854 at Weymouth. As we might expect John's youth was spent moving with his father, an agricultural carter, as he sought work on the local farms. John was still with the family in 1861 by which time they were all living at Damer's Barn in Fordington.

    Betsey SPICER nee CLARKE (1843-1897) (Note:- picture left taken circa 1876-1878 by Thomas GRIGG (1857-1932) - She consistently gives her place of birth as Charminster in Dorset around the year 1843 and of course the marriage above gives her fathers name as William Clark. She appears to have been the 7th child from the marriage of William CLARK (d.1865) a labourer to Mary BLACKMORE (1803-1882) at Charminster on 18th Nov 1830. The baptism of her first 5 siblings are all at Charminster and straightforward (1) Sarah bap 10th June 1832 - buried aged 5 at Charminster on 23rd Jan 1838. (2) Elizabeth bap 25th May 1834 - buried aged 3 years at Charminster 20 Feb 1838 (3) William bap 24th Apr 1836 he married at Fordington twice 1st to Mary Jane Norris 6th Sep 1868 and 2nd to Sarah Ann Russell on 5th Sep 1872 (4). John bap 27th May 1838 he also married at Fordington to Ellen Legg on 25th Oct 1874 (5). Emma bap 25 May 1838. She married John Bailey at Fordington on 10th Mar 1864. Unfortunately I have not been able to locate a baptism for the next two children (6) Mary (c1841) who disappears after 1851 and (7) Elizabeth (recorded at the GRO as Bessy Clark 2nd qtr 1843 in district of Dorchester Ref 8/53) ) She is recorded as Elizabeth in the 1851 census but as Betsy in 1861 whilst still living with the family at Worth Matravers. She seems to have taken her name from Mary's mother (Betty Blackmore who aged 77 was living with them in 1841 and was buried as Elizabeth Blackmore at Charminster aged 77 on 13th Dec 1842. Their final child (8) Fanny Clark was born at Bhompston Farm a hamlet within the parish of nearby Stinsford and she was baptised in the local church on the 2nd April 1848. She married at Fordington to George Jeffries Pitman on 25th Aug 1878. Shortly after the 1861 Census the family moved to live at Fordington hence all the marriages there.

    After marriage they moved regularly, initially living for a time on Loud's Road in East Fordington, but by 1871 they were back at Damer's Barn John working as a carter. From there they moved to Fordington Cross (1873), back to Damer's Barn (1875-1878); then into Fordington Field (1880) and finally at Poundbury Farm by 1881. Betsey died at Poundbury Farm at the age of 55 years on 7th April 1897 and was buried 2 days later in St George's graveyard (See memorials) . After her death John moved to live at 10 King street in Dorchester where he lived with his youngest daughter but by 1911, now aged 69, he was staying with his eldest daughter Frances and her husband Robert Ballard. John died circa June 1925 at the age of 84 ] They had the following children:-

    (1) Frances Ann SPICER (1868-1940) recorded as the daughter of John & Betsey SPICER was born at Loud's Road and duly baptised at St Georges Church in Fordington on 28th Mar 1869.

Bessie returned to her family to have the baby living at 5 Stewards Court in Melcombe Regis They named her Violet Bessie and she was baptised at Melcombe Regis on 23rd of the same month. William however found work at Middle Farm in Fordington but soon sickened and before he died they married at Christchurch in West Fordington on 9th March 1899. Bessie who was still only 20 years old at marriage still gives her abode as Poundbury Farm. William was buried at Fordington on 29th April 1899. Bessie now a widow moved to Charminster to live with her brother Frederick and in 1906 re-married to Charles Robert Furmage

    (5) Arthur Edward SPICER (1877- aft 1911) He was baptised on 24th June 1877 at Christchurch in West Fordington and was already working by the age of 13 as an agricultural labourer on Poundbury Farm. He became a coachman and married in Malton in Yorkshire (where his brother James was living) in 3rd qtr of 1907 to Hannah BUTTERICK a widow.

His father had moved to live in Friary Lane in Dorchester prior to 1861 and by 1871 William aged 18 was apprenticed to a cabinet maker to learn the trade.

    Sarah Ann PITFIELD (1852-1914) was bap 29th Aug 1852 at FStG the daughter of Joseph PITFIELD (1826-1852) & Mary Jane HAWKINS . After marriage they lived in School Street where their first two children were born before moving to live near the pound when William gained work for an upholsterer. Known children from this marriage where the mother is recorded as Sarah Ann:- (1) Rosa [Rosy, Rose] Jane Young bap F StG 11th Mar 1875 (2) Annie Elizabeth Young bap F STG 12th Apr 1876, and buried there on 31 Sep 1876 (3) Bessie Louise Young bap F StG 10th Jan 1880 and buried there aged 4 months on 17 Jan 1880. ]

    It took me some time and a lot of research but I now believe that Sarah Ann started to use an alias shortly after the death of her 3rd child; calling herself Jane Young. She is recorded as such in the next 4 Census returns (1881 - 1911) but continues to give her place of birth as Fordington circa 1852 and crucially in 1911 states that she has been married for 37 year (i.e. married in 1874) and had 6 children 4 of which have died. Three of her children are shown above and from the 1881 and 1891 Census returns it clear that he had a son they named (4) Willie Young born in 1877. I have not located a baptism but there is a GRO registration in 3rd qtr 1877 for a William Young recorded in Dorchester District Ref 5a 339. The remaining 2 children recorded as children of William & Jane Young are:- (5) Walter Ernest Young born March 1881 and bap Fordington St George 8th May 1881.He died at the age of 13 being buried 3rd Apr 1894 at Fordington (but was living in St Peters Parish Dorchester when he died). (6) Beatrice Minnie Young bap Fordington St George 26 Sep 1883.

    Sarah Ann (alias Jane) YOUNG died at Dorchester at the age of 62 in the 2nd qtr 1914 recorded under her proper name of Sarah Ann Young..

The pevious Innkeeper had been George Banks (1837-1897) a relation of Rebeccas (like her father born at Battersea) and George died being buried at the Civic Cemetery in Dorchester on 28th Jan 1897. I suspect that in reality the pub was run for a time by his wife and children as by 1911 Thomas Dunkley has moved his family again to live at 4 St Leonards Terrace Maumsbury Way in Dorchester where he is now Manager of an Agricultural Engineering works.

Eliza NEWBERRY age 21, a spinster, no occupation; resident F; father Edmund NEWBERRY; a dealer; witnesses Charles Newbury and Esther Leak

    [Note:- George LEAK (1856-1928) : This family with their first 4 children appear in the April 1891 Census at Milborne St Andrew and the March 1901 Census in the parish of Wool when George LEAK gives his birth place as Froome [Frome] St Quinton in Dorset circa 1857. Unfortunately baptisms for this parish have only been lodged with the Dorset History Centre for the period 1661-1796. We do know however from the 1861 Census, when George was only 5 years old and recorded in Winterborne Abbas with his parents and siblings as the son of Eli and Ann LEAK. Turning to GRO births I can only locate a birth registration however for a George LAKE during 1st qtr 1856 Dorchester District Ref 5a/343. The 1891 Census refers to him as a Threshing machine owner; the 1901 Census a Threshing Machine Owner and Farmer whilst Eliza is an off licence Beer House Keeper and they have her 12 year old neice Ethel Newberry living with them. I turned to baptisms in Fordington etc for corroboration of the surname but found their 1st child recorded as 'LAKE' and the rest as 'LEAK' as shown below. By 1911 they are back in the parish of Wool George now 55 and a farmer and haulage contractor. George died at Wool on 24th Oct 1928 aged 72.
