Baptisms 1800 - 1812
Transcribed from BT's by Michael Russell 2007 from CLDS film 1279497
[Transcribers comments are in brackets in italics]
Notes:-
The IGI currently only records female baptisms - These have been checked and I have commented on any differences between their record and my transcription below which has been taken from the Bishops Transcripts which were generally submitted every 3 years.
In the late 1790's there was a large influx of Militia Men to the Fordington Barracks which led to many marriages to local girls. See my comments under “Overseers Accounts 1798-1802” regarding the Militia and the rebellion of 1798. Some however brought existing wives and families to the area. The vicar has often identified Militia families by annotating entries with the phrase “from the Barracks”. There are also a few baptisms for women in Dorchester Jail.
Fordington High Street was a continuation of the lower end of Dorchester and many couples married in one and raised families in the other. Where new names appeared in the Register I checked for a marriage first in Fordington and then in the surrounding area and where one was located I have added a comment as this may prove useful to researchers.
