Hello
My name is Chris and I have been research into my family but I am stuck I have traced my family back to 1820 but as I said I don't know we're i can find the next link.
I have traced my fathers side of the family back to Charles Isaac who was born in Blandford Dorset I think his farther was John Isaac but I cannot confirm this or who his mother was so if anyone has any ideas I would be grateful
Thanks Chris

Hello Chris I am putting this census record on here as a base from which to start. I know it is not the earliest one but it is the first one that came up for me. This is your family?

Hi Nicolina
Yes that's what I've got but who was his father I think his name was John but that's all I have got
Chris

[Nicolina]

there was a John ISAAC, a Baker, and his wife Margaret having kids in Blandford Forum from 1814. A copy of Charles' marriage certificate will confirm or dispute whether his father was called John.
The only John ISAAC I could see on the 1841 Census for Blandford Forum was born about 1820.

Chris, what evidence do you have that his father is John?

[christanel]

From looking at Nicolina's link to Dorset OPC earlier I am wondering if your Charles was actually bpt as Henry Charles and in 1841 is with his father John
