I am trying to trace details of my grandmother - May Keable, born 1890 in Linstead Magna and my grandmother Selina Boast, born in Linstead Parva in 1870.
I have a feeling that at one time Selina may have been in a workhouse in the area at some time during her life, but haven't been able to find anything to prove this. I know that May's brother was killed during the first world war.
I visited the area where they were born many years ago, but I dare say it's changed since my last visit.
I am coming to visit the area again on 16th August, as a birthday treat, do you know if the church will be open?
If you can give me any information at all on either of these families, I would be very grateful.
