News - My husband, parents and
myself recently went on a family history holiday, visiting Bristol
and Gloucestershire for a few days. In Bristol, we saw Portland
Square, the location of Joseph Dando, the elder, in 1841 and No 26
was where Charles Tidmarsh Dando and Clarissa Spiers lived. Somerset
Street was the place where William Elbert Dando went to school. We
also visited Rangeworthy where the 17th century Dandos were and
Rodborough Tabernacle, where John Dando (b. abt 1743) was a trustee
- his and first wife, Ann's, grave was in the cemetery there. We saw
Dursley Tabernacle too, where John Dando (b. abt 1715) was the main
instrument in bringing a group of Calvinistic Methodists to that
town. A plaque to his and wife, Susanna's, memory is on the wall
alongside the pulpit. We were shown the approximate location of
where John's hat shop would have stood and other buildings in the
town, including the Anglican Church.
(Our grateful thanks go to John Cook and David Evans for showing
us around the Rodborough and Dursley Tabernacles respectively.)
On the Pitcher side, we stayed at Hodgecombe Farm near Uley where
Benjamin Pitcher (b. abt 1775) and wife, Sarah, lived for many
years. We also saw Coaley where they were married and many of their
family were baptised. A visit to Arlingham enabled us to see
Meadowland Farm from the road and also the High Street, where Daniel
Bailey Pitcher (b. abt. 1810) and wife, Mary Ann, lived. In the
churchyard, we saw the grave of John (b. abt. 1817) and Sarah Fryer.
A brief visit to Rockhampton meant that we saw the church where
Benjamin Pitcher and Margaret Worgan were married in 1773 and where
their children were baptised.

father received a phone call from one of his long lost 1st cousins

very, very pleased to have this get-together after all these years.
