Default Lydia Oyles nee Trim

appears in the Dorset QS records rather too many times for my comfort.


Could someone tell me why she is there? Along with husband Stephen?

I found one reference to Lydia Oyles in the Dorset Quarter Session records. Can't read it all, but here's what it says:

'To prepare a bill of ???? Thos Farrow of Lydlinch, yeoman, for an assault and misdemeanor on ??? Lydia Oyles.'

I think it says:

'To prepare a bill of indictment against Thos Farrow of Lydlinch aforesaid, yeoman, for an assault and misdemeanour on ye said Lydia Oyles.'

I too can only see one entry. Where were you looking, Phoenix?

Oh dear. Lydia's bastard daughter is born October 1759. Father not Stephen (nor Thomas Farrow)
She marries Stephen November 1759.
There is a bastardy bond 1760.
The parish pay for the maintenance of her bastard daughter.

This could have been a one off, but it sounds as if she were no better than she should be.

These all appear with the same reference, so they might all refer to the same incident:

Lydia Oyler 1757-1768
View Record Stephen Oyler 1757-1768
View Record Lydia Oyler 1763
View Record Stephen Oyler 1763
View Record Daniel Oyles 1708
View Record Jno Oyles 1723
View Record John Oyles 8 Apr 1730
View Record Lydia Oyles 1757-1768
View Record Stephen Oyles 1757-1768

Ancestry have transcribed Thos Farrow as Thos Farvas. Like Shona, I read his name as Farrow, but there are no other entries for Thomas Farrow, whilst there are others for Tho* Farvas, Farves, Farvis, etc so Farrow might perhaps be incorrect!

This might be Lydia being put out as a servant?

Lydia Trim 1755

That makes more sense. Thomas Farves was a churchwarden.

The three entries you have for Lydia and the three for Stephen all relate to the same case. (Looks more like Thomas Tarves on closer examination!). Thomas seems to be found not guilty for his 'assault and attempt to ravish' Lydia (I think the not guilty refers to his case and not the one written above?)

Do you need the details for Daniel and John too?

Given that I'm not the best at transcribing old court records, this one looks as if John Pyne (?) the younger, labourer of Lidlinch, is being named as the father of Lydia Trim's bastard child.
