Hi Tamero I don't think there is a Newton connection - but my ex-husband had Harrington in his line - grandmother's family I think. Gosport family, some connection with Hasler Bridge, Toll Keeper? and with the Salvation Army at Gosport. I'm in touch with ex-husband's cousin who is into family history, so if you think there could be a connection, let me know. I'm away from tomorrow evening (Wed) for about 2 1/2 weeks.

Hello Val, I have a collection of photographs of homes where my dad and his relatives lived and would like to add the house at no. 31. Dad and his parents lived there for a few years from 1906. I would also like to know if the houses were rented to the families of Naval servicemen. My grandparents seemed to change accommodation quite often. Regards, Joan. ----- Original Message ----- From: valerie petrie To: Norm & Joan Colmer Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 7:22 AM Subject: Parham Rd Hi, What did you want to know about Parham Rd?

Hi Joan, Portsmouth houses were almost entirely rented and home ownership did not become an aspiration for the working classes until the decade before WW2. Only about 20% were owner occupied whereas now it is possibly 80%. Quarters were always provided for Senior Officers eg Admiralty House for CINC Portsmouth and Anchor House for the Commodore of the Naval Barracks. Provision of Married Quarters for officers & sailors became a post war development with estates at Hilsea, Farlington, Lee on Solent, Gosport, Rowner and smaller ones at Lovedean and Petersfield (HMS Mercury). In addition if MQ's were not available then private accommodation was provided which were called Naval Hirings. The movement of personnel from one Port Division to another added to the turbulence and constant change of address. When I was drafted from Mercury back to sea (1960) I had to vacate my tied MQ (rent 75p a week fully furnished including council rates!!).That said I have only moved six times since then. Mike Waterlooville

Hi Val In 1956 Kelly's, 48 Highgate Road is shown as Jaygees Stores (G Colbourne Proprietor) Grocers. The property is at the junction with Seafield Road. Regards Mike

Hi, Taken from another listing... Edna - Ottawa >>>>>>>>>>> Thought this might interest you all. The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London (UK) is undertaking an important project to enhance access to its research collections. The collections contain over 2 million archival items and complement the holdings of the National Archive by supporting journeys of discovery across a range of subjects, from the big histories of exploration and empire to the personal histories of millions of ordinary people whose lives were touched by the sea. As a family historian, the Museum would like to hear your thoughts on how they can develop access to their archival collections to meet your needs. They are very interested in hearing from both people who have used their facilities before, and those who have not. Please follow the link below to find out more about the proposed developments. http://www.nmm.ac.uk/familyhistorybriefing Once you have read about the proposed developments, please follow the link below to their e-survey which will give you a chance to express your views. The e-survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete and your views will ensure the Museum develops its archive facilities in the best way possible. http://www.nmm.ac.uk/familyhistorysurvey If you have any problems with the survey or any questions about the proposed developments please contact alexis@matthewsmillman.co.uk

My grandfather was one of them during the war period and into the early 1950's, he was Henry James Ball. I have rediscovered 48 Highgate Rd and would like to know some of the missing parts of it's history? Val Petrie --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Thanks to everyone from the various lists who has responded to my 'Nurse Child' query. I don't think I have ever had so many responses to a single question. Alan Siddorn ---------- Not exactly a location specific census topic but I think the question could apply to any part of the country so I will go ahead and ask. I am looking at a page from the 1871 census and am slightly puzzled. On the census form (RG10/3714 page 37) in Bunbury, Cheshire are Samuel SIDDORNS age 75, his wife Ellen SIDDORNS age 65 and William SIDDORNS age 3 who in the column for Relation to Head of Family appears to have G Child and Nurse Child both entered against his name. I have never seen Nurse Child on a census form before and wondered if anyone had any ideas or information about the meaning of it. Also at the same address is a William CLARK who rather unfortunately for him is described as 'Ruptured'.
