Hi, I am new to this list and have finally gotten a (tenuous) link to
Dorset. Hope it will lead to more.
I have:
Ambrose FORWARD who was born in Sturminster Newton in the late 1700's
(his wife Frances Hickman was born in 1778.) His family emigrated to
Newfoundland. His father was John FORWARD also of Sturminster Newton.
Further down the line I have Ann Forward b. 1825 marrying my gg
grandfather Robert BENNETT b. 1818. He is alway listed as Robert
Bennett, Englishman. I was told this denotes that he is the one who
came over, but there doesn't seem to be record of where he came from. I
am hoping that since most of the families of the Grand Bank area of
Newfoundland originated in Dorset that someone on the list may have more
info on this family.
