Dorset databases - ancestry

[kiterunner]

Some of them were done by the World Archives Project and will be free indexes, but not all of them:

Dorset Militia Lists 1757-1860 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2165)

Dorset Alehouse Licence Records 1754-1821 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2216)

Dorset Jury Lists 1825-1921 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2217)

Dorset Calendars of Prisoners 1854-1904 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2215)

Dorset Convict Transportation Records 1724-1791 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2214)

Dorchester Prison Admission and Discharge Registers 1782-1901 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2382)

Dorset Land Tax Returns 1780-1832 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2166)

Dorset Vagrant Passes 1739-1791 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2447)

The Vagrant Passes database includes lots of people who were travelling through Dorset on their way back to their parish of settlement and didn't come from Dorset, so worth a look even if you don't have Dorset ancestors.

Also this one has been updated:
Dorset Wills and Probates 1565-1858 (http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2119)

Let us know what you find!
