Hi I am presently living in a village by the name of Chideock in Dorset having moved from London five years ago. I have been looking at the village of Chalgrave and have been fascinated by the early photographs on your web site. Having been looking at early birth certificates belonging to my family, I have come across some information that gives the birth of my late Grandfather being Joseph John Harris, having been born on the twenty second of November 1868 at Farier Hill in the village of Chalgrave. I belonged to a family of seven inclusive of parents, with two of my sisters being named Margaret and Joan Harris, a bit of coincidence which could tie up to two of your photographs of a Harris family portrait but! not my sisters. I would love to hear from any relations out there whom may even still live in the village.
Best Regards
Joe Harris
