Sorry, only just noticed this and I'm off to bed, so will look at this properly tomorrow. I'm not sure whether it is the same stuff that is already on ancestry:
Dorset Baptisms (http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/dorset-baptisms?_ga=1.110007813.1494116925.1289493982#dor set-baptisms?_ga=1.110007813.1494116925.1289493982&_suid=140209481219905773834686774965)
Dorset Marriages (http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/dorset-marriages?_ga=1.51738153.1494116925.1289493982#dor set-marriages?_ga=1.51738153.1494116925.1289493982&_suid=140209491056307777298721008241)
Dorset Burials (http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/dorset-burials?_ga=1.51738153.1494116925.1289493982#dorse t-burials?_ga=1.51738153.1494116925.1289493982&_suid=1402094913017025661606517144797)

I haven't read up what fmp have to say, but did a few quick searches on one of my main Dorset surnames (exact matches only)

Across Ancestry's four main Dorset databases (Baps, marriages and burials post 1813 and the mixed database pre 1813) they had 455 entries. These three fmp databases showed 150 entries. Ancestry also have the images, but fmp is currently transcriptions only.

I suspect it is just a remarketing of the transcriptions they already have.

Some more transcriptions have been added today:
Dorset Baptism Index (http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/dorset-baptism-index-1538-1912?_ga=1.111007877.1494116925.1289493982)
Dorset Marriage Index (http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/dorset-marriage-index-1541-1937?_ga=1.72146451.1494116925.1289493982)
Dorset Burial Index (http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/dorset-burial-index-1538-1986?_ga=1.148822455.1494116925.1289493982)

This makes it pretty confusing if you go onto their A-Z of databases to select which one to search, as they now have two separate Dorset databases for each category (i.e. two for baptisms, two for marriages and two for burials.) :confused:
