Dimmick Genealogy

This area of my site covers the history of the Dimmick's. This has been a hobby of mine for a number of years.

My interest in the history started when I was given a copy of a book which was written by my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather Charles Dimmick. The book was printed in 1885 and covers the Dimmick history from 1800. The branch of Dimmick I came from originated in Lymington then moved to the Isle of Wight, in 1800 and has been there since.

The family has been in gardening for most of that time. It all started with Charles when he was young. He started with seeds, then moved into seedlings. He then worked to build up one of the largest nurseries in England. The business was carried on by his sons and grandsons, my grandfather was the last to work in the business.
