Bartlett

Thanks to Geoff Bartlett whose family tree can be viewed here.

Geoff Bartlett has kindly made things easier for Bartlett family researchers. He emailed us saying, ‘I found it time consuming picking out the Bartlett’s from the lists, so what I have done is extracted all of the Bartlett’s from the Parish Registers, which may help future researchers of the Bartlett Family, and compiled their own lists based on your format’.

Many thanks to Mervyn Tims for sharing his research and memories on the Collier family, and in particular George Collier Master Baker of Branscombe.

Dowell

Sandie Pender (nee Dowell) has kindly sent us her direct line history/family tree (no siblings). She has more details if anyone would like them.

Dowell & Tedbury

Thanks to Alison Somers who has sent us her research summaries for the Dowell and Tedbury families. She has just detailed the direct lines, but does have more information. She is happy to share her findings and hopes she might hear from someone who could tell her more about her great grandparents – Percy & Ethel Dowell and Walter & Emma Tedbury. Does anyone have any photographs of them?

Rendell

This family history was handwritten in 1968 by Mrs Le Roy William (Grace) Rendell.

Branscombe and America feature in the story of the Rendells, after Frank Rendell arrived in the United States in 1881.

There are also Gush, Dowell, Farrant and Lathrops in there too!

 

We are grateful to Colin Dowell for permission to post this on our website.

Spiller

We are grateful to have received further detailed Spiller information from Jenny Paris.

Tedbury

Does anyone know who the people in this photograph are? We have been sent it by a relative, who knows that Albert Tedbury is on the right (as we look at it).

Please contact us if you can help.

Veryard

We have been contacted by someone researching the Veryard family, an old Branscombe family from the 1500 and 1600s. If you know anything about them, and would like to help, please get in touch with us.
