On the advice of many of the people who responded, I am resubmitting my
request this time with the primary individuals I am searching for.
However, first I would like to say thanks. I did have several good
suggestions that I will soon begin to follow up on. Thanks.

George Temple b. about 1800 in Bridport, Dorset, England (was informed
Independent St Parish? Is this close to correct?) Apparently he had a
brother Matthew, but I cannot yet confirm this. George (don't know
about Matthew) move to Newfoundland somewhere about 1820s.

Richard Rodway b. 1819 in Reading, Berkshire. His father was Richard.
They move shortly after young Richard's birth to Newfoundland.

Charles Newhook b. 1752 in Tarrant-Gunville, Dorset, England.
Parents were George Newhook and Sarah Sansom. m. Nov 30 1752 in Tarrant
Gunville. I have extensive info on this family, but it is all 3rd party
info with documentation on my part.

Gideon Banton b. bef 1805 in Yeovil, Somerset.

On a brighter note, I did search the LDS catalog online and found that
most of these parishes do have a reasonable amount of info online. I
just have to find an LDS center near here. There is a chance that
lately the closest to me has upgraded their equipment. All along, they
didn't have microfilm viewers and therefore, couldn't handle requests.
The only other location I knew about is a library that just instituted a
new policy including a new $100 CAN fee for a library card for
non-residents (like me), that's too much. Thanks to all help,
responses, and advice.
