We are so pleased you found our site, and that our photos had some connection to your family - pretty amazing!<br /><br />Karen is a Dorset girl having been born in the area, but I am from the industrial north of England and only moved to the area 4 years ago. So I am seeing the county with 'fresh' eyes and count my blessings that I live somewhere so lovely.<br /><br />Thanks for taking to time to visit our site.<br /><br />Nick<br /><br />Dorset Allsortshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447814318969098755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439497769067649702.post-31423779297336329142014-03-19T04:52:25.865-07:002014-03-19T04:52:25.865-07:00Hi Nick & Karen!
Thank you for creating your b...Hi Nick & Karen!<br />Thank you for creating your blog and sharing the wonderful photos. My great great... grandparents, John Macomber & Edith Locke, were married in St. Mary's church in Bridport in 1607, and their 11 children were christened there. Two of their sons, William and John, along with William's wife and son who were linked to St. Mary's church as well, migrated to Plymouth Colony in America in 1638. Your photos of St. Mary's church and Dorset in general bring family history to life for me and my children, grandchildren, cousins, etc. Though we are across the "pond", we feel a bond with England and thanks to your blog a greater bond to Dorset county, our ancestral heritage. Thank you! Bygone Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710803811809190045noreply@blogger.com
