Our member and group secretary, Deborah Paterson, has carried out an enormous amount of work on the 1921 Census. This is not available on opc.dorset (nor is the 1911 Census). She has used the original Census images and entered data on nearly 4000 people for Milton Abbas and surrounding parishes into a spreadsheet. The data includes Milborne, Hilton, Pleck, Ansty, Aller, Winterborne Stickland, Turnworth, Winterborne Houghton, Winterborne Clenston, Winterbourne Whitechurch, Charlton Marshall, Spetisbury, Winterborne Kingston, Winterborne Zelston, Winterborne Anderson, 

She is trying to locate some of the people on the OS large scale maps – this is a huge task and is particularly difficult for Milton Abbas street because house numbers were not then used.

We would appreciate offers of help. Why not contact us.

Here is a tiny sample of the spreadsheet:
