RTim The old man could only whisper the songs (30) RE: The old man could only whisper the songs 11 Dec 20


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:

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 ......
