Hi Norma or anyone else interested in the Lanning surname in Dorset!
Specifially I am interested to know if anyone knows the dates for Thomas Lanning who married Rose White at Kington Magna on Nov. 8, 1791. They became the parents of Job Lanning who married Ann Smart from Horsington, Somerset. They also had eight other children. The Lannings lived at Kington Magna for many generations from what I have found out!
Thanks anyone for any info!
Regards,
Dean

Kington Magna, Dorset was the home to my Granfather Harry george Caddy two siblings and his parents William & Sarah Caddy.
I just found out from the 1871 census that they were living at Blackmores Farm at that time & William was a Dairyman renting twenty acres.
Does anyone living in the area happen to know where this farm would be located from Kington Magna? Could it be that it has retained the same name after all these years?
Any information will be appreciated.

Hello Dean,

To extend your name search a little further...
I went to school in (Epsom) Surrey during the 1950s with a girl by the surname of Caddy. In Hampshire (near Romsey, at least until recently) were a family by the name of Lanning.
