After finally being able to search for Barratt in the EFDSS Archives...a question came to me - there are both a Barratt and a Barrett in Puddletown in the archives....and I wonder if they were one or two men....so I continued to research and found the following: Robert Barrett….NO Barratt..??? and Puddletown used to be called Piddletown.... see: https://www.opcdorset.org/PiddleFiles/Puddletown/Puddletown.htm However with this info. and a search on Ancestory, I was able to find the below: Puddletown/Piddletown Census No Barratt..only Barrett – Married Elizabeth Jane Cumbleton of Sydling On 5 April 1858 (also spelt Combleton) 1836 – Robert Barrett b. in Puddletrenthide 1841 – No Robert – but living in Sherborne 1851 – Robert aged 16 in Puddletown 1861 – No Robert but living in Piddlehinton 1871 – Robert 35 living at The Bourne 1881 – Robert 44 living at Ilsington (at least 10 children) 1891 – Robert 54 living at Chinehill ??? 1901 – Robert 66 living in Puddletown (New Street ???) 1907 – Robert 71 died Weymouth buried Puddletown That was fun ......
