Hi John
I have a John George Galpin born circa 1854 in Dorset. He married an Eva Salome Dennett in Wimborne 21.06.1898.
The marriage certificate shows him to be a carpenter & wheelwright of Pamphill. His father was Christopher Galpin (deceased) a shoemaker.
One of the witnesses was Sidney Galpin.
Any connection to your tree ?

John, I have Galpin/Gilpin ancestors in Cullompton Devon. Does your Dorset Galpin tree have any connections into Devon?

Hi I am building up a complete Galpin tree to see if there is any connections between each Dorset area, which I believe there is. My wife is a descendant of Thomas Galpin of Bridport and we can trace the line back to 1066 via Wooland , Toller, Dorchester etc. Also looking for descendants of same. If you find it easier you can contact me direct at [email protected] Only a small part of the tree is on genes mainly due to the toime factor. I have the information on a GEDCOM. John Firth
