IGI Batch Numbers for Dorset, England

Click on the batch number of interest and enter the surname you are searching for to be taken to the relevant search results at familysearch.org

Some towns are listed in the IGI under more than one county. Where batch numbers for a town with the same name have been found in a different county as well as this one, that county appears in the "Other Counties" column as a clickable link (or more than one if appropriate). Clicking this link will take you to the relevant entry on that county's page (which may be either for the same town or for another town elsewhere in the country with the same name).

If you see a ** beside a batch number, this batch either covers more than one location or includes entries with different names/spellings for what may be the same Town, Parish, Church or Chapel. Common such discrepancies are to find both St. and Saint or to have both hyphenated and unhyphenated versions of the same name. Sometimes the same town will be listed with a different county even in the same batch. It should be remembered that much of the indexing performed by the LDS was done by people (who were all volunteers, I believe) who were not familiar with the local geography. Clicking on the ** will display a list of alternative locations for that batch.

If dates are available for a batch number they will be shown to the right of the batch number. Some of this information has kindly been provided by James Heald. These dates are taken from the detail page of the first entry in the batch. They may overlap or be consecutive and may have errors and are provided only as a guide to what might be available in the batch in question.
