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.

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