Piddlehinton and Winterborne Warland families

Piddlehinton and Winterborne (variations) are located to the west of the primary area where Warlands are found in Dorset.

John Warland was buried in Winterborne Anderson on 30 January 1715/16.

1721 - Elizabeth Warland

Elizabeth Warland, 'certified to be buried in woollen only', was buried in Winterborne Anderson on 16 December 1721.

1818 - Sarah Warland

Sarah Warland of Bathwick, City of Bath, married James Bishop in Piddlehinton on 2 April 1818.

1828 - Thomas Warland

Thomas Warland (born 1795) was the son of Robert Warland (1761 - 1821) and Sarah Stickland who married in 1783 in St James, Poole. Thomas Warland was described as a mariner and master of a vessel.

Thomas Warland married Mary Adams of Piddlehinton on 22 July 1828 and resided there which is interesting as it is more than 20 kms from the coast. See the separate page about Thomas Warland for details of their children.

The 1841 census records Mary Warland (aged 35) and children Sarah (aged 8), Thomas (aged 3) and Ann (aged 1) at Piddlehinton. The family is recorded in the 1851 census at Piddlehinton as follows:

Thomas Warland (born 1795) died in 1852.

1834 - Elizabeth Warland

Elizabeth Warland, aged 77, of Winterborne Stickland, was buried on 29 March 1834 at the same location.

1861 census

Likely connected with the death of Thomas Warland (born 1795), the family of Thomas and Mary Warland appear to have moved away from Piddlehinton by this census. Their son Thomas Warland born in 1838 was recorded in the census in the 'Misc Ships at Sea or Abroad' section, born in Dorset.

A Mary Warland, aged 89, is recorded at Piddlehinton in the 1861 census as the 'proprietor of railway shares'. She cannot be identified in the 1841 or 1851 census. It will be necessary to see the 1861 census details to find more details such as other members of her household.
