I have traced my ancestry back to Dorset in 1730. The first Pelley from Dorset arrived at the shore

of Hant's Harbour, Newfoundland. He was named William. That name has been passed down the generations since. My father's father was named William Henry Pelley

The other side of my family also were from Dorset. My mother's family being  Ellis.So I feel I have an attachment to this place and would love to visit one day.
