Does anybody have access to any parish records or census returns for Blandford and Blandford Forum Dorset. I am trying to find any BMD details for the family of Jeremiah Hicks born c1813. I am also looking for any info on James Shelson, Sarah Shelson, his mother and Martha Shelson, his wife. I know they were in Blandford for the 1861 census. Any BMD records or additional census info would also be appreciated. Many Thanks Lorraine.

To Lesley and Justine, MANY THANX for your help. The Shelton family are the correct family but the surname is spelt slightly differently and I was looking in the wrong place. I have already checked out the Dorset site which was excellent, thanx for that advice. I live in Winchester, so if you ever want any look-ups at HRO let me know I would gladly return the favour. Your kindness is appreciated. Best wishes Lorraine.
