Goal
This is a One Place Study to collect together in one place everything about Sturminster Newton, Dorset, England. The hope is that other researchers will help to make it a valuable reference point. Information was being transcribed at an external site, it may contain information that is not on WikiTree yet.
The coordinator did not set up this study and is slowly updating the citations of the profiles in the study and connecting families.
Scope
The study is meant to cover the Sturminster Newton Hundred which contains five parishes:
Sturminster Newton (including Bagber, Broad Oak and Puxey)
Hinton St Mary
Margaret Marsh
Marnhull
Okeford Fitzpaine (including Belchalwell and Fiddleford).
The amount of movement between the parishes makes it sensible to include the slightly wider area of the Sturminster Newton Hundred rather than just the town alone.
Categories
The Sturminster Newton, Dorset category is for everyone who was born, married or died in Sturminster Newton.
The Sturminster Newton, Dorset One Place Study category also includes everyone who appeared in a census regardless of where they were born or died. And anyone born, married or died in any of the other parishes of the Sturminster Newton Hundred (see the scope section above).
Which means:
Everyone in the Sturminster Newton, Dorset category should also be in the Sturminster Newton, Dorset One Place Study category.
But not everyone in the Sturminster Newton, Dorset One Place Study category will be in the Sturminster Newton, Dorset category. For example, they might have Marnhull, Dorset and Sturminster Newton, Dorset One Place Study categories.
