Notes - Records of the family of John Snr.& Diana were originally taken fromthe LDS British Vital Index Records both Christenings and . But themarriage of John and Diana and those of their children have beenconfirmed by the S&DFHS Marriage Indexes which have been copied fromthe church registers by the Society. Besides the BVI all therecords of the children of John Snr. and Diana have been confirmed byother researchers in England who have viewed the Parish records onfilm. It is gratifying to learn that as far as Handley and othernearby areas of the northeast section of Dorset are concerned, thesurviving records are very good and close to complete. As notedelsewhere this is the "John Snr." on which this family research isbuilt. On the death certificates of son Benjamin and daughter Janetheir mother's maiden name is listed as Hannah Vicary and DianaVickery. However there is no record of any Vicary or Vickery familyliving anywhere in the north eastern area of Dorset nor is either namecommon in any part of Dorset in the time frame. Exhaustive inquiriesreveal there never was a Hannah/Diana Vicary or Vickery. The informanton the occasion of both Benjamin and Jane's deaths was George Vincent,husband of Jane. It can only be assumed that he believed theirmother's maiden name was Vicary or Vickery. George was the only"family" in Camden at the time of both deaths. Hence the repeatederror. Although probably not relevant, George never learnt to read orwrite. It is interesting to note that John Snr. and Diana's firstborn child Maria and later Benjamin were taken to Diana's birthplace,Shaftsbury, for christening. It is a coincidence that both Benjaminand Frances were each christened in the parish of their grandparentsand not the parish where their family lived. Not a very commonhappening for those times. Also unusual was the fact that Benjamin wasthree years old when he was christened. Perhaps it was a visit toDiana's parents at Shaftsbury that was the trigger to christenBenjamin then. Not being christened soon after birth indicates JohnSnr. and Diana did not need welfare support. The surname "Hayter"was very common in northeast Dorset, in the time frame, but themarriage of Diana's parents is not in the records of the S&DFHS nor isit in the BVI but the christening of three of their children is. Thesearch is on going.
