	Hi Everyone I have found a record of marriage on freebmd for Charlotte North to a Charles Thomas R Tompkins Q2 1887 at Beaminster Dorset.. Is there anyone with access to Dorset records who could confirm for me that this is my relation? Charlotte was born in 1862 in Broadwinsor and her parents are Charles and Sophia North. Sophia's maiden name is Hallett. Thanks very much.
