Burials 1764 - 1799
Transcribed from BT's by Michael Russell 2007 from CLDS film 1279497
[Transcribers comments are in brackets in italics]
Notes:-
The original registers for this period exist in the Dorset Registry Office & there appear to be some transcription errors between those records and the Bishops Transcripts transcribed here which were done in some cases several years later by the vicar. The originals need to be transcribed, any additional information added including missing years, and corrections made where appropriate.
In the early years the records are badly damaged and difficult to read and where this is the case I have tried to verify names against the marriage register to improve accuracy and cross referenced. They are also composite registers with a column down one side indicating whether the entry is a baptism, marriage or burial. Where this edge is missing it is not always possible to be sure whether an entry is a baptism or a burial. Female baptisms are also in the IGI and were taken from original registers so I have added any additional information available and annotated accordingly.
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. Fordington High Street was also a continuation from the lower end of Dorchester and many couples married in one and raised families in the other. In transcribing these registers I became aware of many such associations and have therefore added comment where appropriate.
