Dorset request

Postby Carol » Thu Jan 23, 2014 8:49 pm

Hi Folks,
I'm looking into the history of another Dorset thatched cottage. This time the property is called Kitchermans and it is in Lytchett Minster. I have found the 1881 census when it appears as 4 separate dwellings Nos 15, 16, 17 and 18.

I would love to know more about this and wondered if anyone could get any of the other census details for me? The 1911 would be especially interesting.

Thanks- waiting in hopeful anticipation.

That would mean two rooms a piece when it was divided into four?

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

Hi Jimmy
That is brilliant- thank you so much for the 1911 info. I will pass that on to an elderly lady I know who was born there. She tells me that it was a scary place to grow up in a very isolated place. She recounted how one night she came home late from a dance and found a man lurking in the back garden- must have been terrifying out in the middle of no where. She also tells me that she always thought it was haunted but never saw a ghost herself.

Yes they must have been packed in like sardines in days gone by but I suppose that was not uncommon- it would have been the countryside's version of the cities back to backs for the working poor.

In 1881 #16 has this bunch
Stephen Roles 38 farm labourer
Mary H. Roles 38
Charles Roles 19
Frederick Roles 17
Sidney Roles 16
Alfred Roles 15
Isabella Roles 13
Stephen Roles 12
Mary J. Roles 10
William Roles 9
Edward Roles 6
Agness Roles 5
Janet Roles 3
Frank Roles 2
Arthur Roles 2 mo

That would be a squash for two rooms!

1881 #15
William R. Fryer 52 Magistrate (barrister at law crossed out)

John W. Chaffey 47 gamekeeper
Lydia H. Chaffey 50
John W. Chaffey 20
Jesse Chaffey 18
Blanche Chaffey 15

1881#17
Benjamin Burden 54 dealer
Ann Burden 54
Albert Burden 14

#18 is not Kitchermans, down as Cottage Farm, occupied by farm bailiff.

----------------------
1871 (only one entry for Kitchermans)
John W Chaffey 38
Lydia H Chaffey 40
John W Chaffey 10
Jessie Chaffey 8
Blanche Chaffey 5

1910 Kitchermans
Henry Farley 56 clergyman CofE
Jane Crews 55

------------------

It might be worth trying to find a map and see how many buildings were there?
